The operation of this product and restrictions on this product may vary depending on your time of purchase as those restrictions may be adopted and/or changed by AACS after the production of this product. Furthermore, BD-ROM Mark and BD+ are additionally used as content protection system for BD format, which imposes certain restrictions including playback restrictions for BD-ROM Mark and/or BD+ protected contents. To obtain additional information on AACS, BD-ROM Mark, BD+, or this product, please contact SAMSUNG customer care center.

•

Many BD/DVD discs are encoded with copy

protection. Because of this, you should only connect your Blu-ray disc player directly to your TV, not to a VCR. Connecting to a VCR results in a distorted picture from copy-protected BD/DVD discs.

• This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by methods claims of certain U.S. patents and other intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights owners.
