Note

,

yDepending on the conditions of the

recording equipment or the CD-R/RW (or
DVD±R/RW) disc itself, some CD-R/RW (or
DVD±R/RW) discs cannot be played on the
unit.

yDo not attach any seal or label to either side

(the labeled side or the recorded side) of a
disc.

yDo not use irregularly shaped CDs (e.g.,

heart-shaped or octagonal). Doing so may
result in malfunctions.

yDepending on the recording software & the

nalization, some recorded discs (CD-R/RW,
DVD±R/RW) may not be playable.

yDVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW and CD-R/RW discs

recorded using a personal computer or a
DVD or CD Recorder may not play if the
disc is damaged or dirty, or if there is dirt or
condensation on the Recorder’s lens.

yIf you record a disc using a personal

computer, even if it is recorded in a
compatible format, there are cases in which
it may not play because of the settings of
the application software used to create the
disc. (Check with the software publisher for
more detailed information.)

yThis player requires discs and recordings to

meet certain technical standards in order
to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre­recorded DVDs are automatically set to
these standards. There are many dierent
types of recordable disc formats (including
CD-R containing MP3 or WMA les) and
these require certain pre-existing conditions
to ensure compatible playback.

yCustomers should note that permission

is required in order to download MP3 /
WMA les and music from the Internet.
Our company has no right to grant such
permission. Permission should always be
sought from the copyright owner.

Compatibility Notes

converting standard DVD content may require a
HDMI-capable input or HDCP-capable DVI input
on your display device.

ySome DVD discs may restrict the use of some

operation commands or features.

yYou can use a USB device that is used to store

some disc related information. The disc you are
using will control how long this information is
retained.

These discs are normally recorded and used in
camcorders.

yThe AVCHD format is a high denition digital

video camera format.

compressing images at higher eciency than
the conventional image compressing format.

ySome AVCHD discs use the “x.v.Color” format.

yThis player can playback AVCHD discs using

“x.v.Color” format.

ySome AVCHD format discs may not be played,

depending on the recording condition.

yAVCHD format discs need to be nalized.

y“x.v.Color” oers a wider colour range than

normal DVD camcorder discs.
