CAUTION
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.
WARRANTY
As SD-604 has a steel ball installed in the turntable for the purpose of reducing the

Do not attempt to repair the DVD-ROM drive yourself. Contact your
dealer or local SAMSUNG representative for all repairs.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified here in may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Please refer to the Samsung limited warranty statements.

1What is DVD?
Adisc that the data capacity of a single-layer and single-sided DVD, at 4.7GB(Giga
Byte), is 7 times that of a CD. The picture data uses the MPEG2 format, one of the
worldwide standards of digital compress technology.
2What is MPEG2 card?
AMPEG2 card decode data of MPEG2 format on a DVD disc.
There is a soft-MPEG2 lately.
3What is Regional Code?
AMPEG2 card and discs have regional code numbers. It is only possible to play a

disc.
-9
4What is the difference of DVD-ROM DRIVE and DVD PLAYER?
ADVD player has a MPEG2 decoder, but a DVD-ROM drive hasn’t a MPEG2
decoder, so you need appropriate hardware to decode MPEG2 data on a disc.
(MPEG2 card etc.)
5Where can I get DVD disc or MPEG2 card?
You can get DVD discs at big disc stores, get MPEG2 card at computer stores.
