Notes on CD-R/-RW and

Music discs encoded with

DVD R/-RW/+R/+RW

copyright protection technologies

In some cases, CD-Rs/-RWs and DVD-Rs/-RWs/+Rs/+RWs cannot be played back on this system due to the recording quality or physical condition of the disc, or the characteristics of the recording device and authoring software. The disc will not be played back if it has not been correctly finalized. For more information, see the operation instructions for the recording device.

Note that some playback functions may not work with some DVD+Rs/ +RWs, even if they have been correctly finalized. In this case, view the disc by normal playback.

A disc created in Packet Write format cannot be played back.

Note on playback operations of DVD VIDEOs and VIDEO CDs

Some playback operations of DVD VIDEOs and VIDEO CDs may be intentionally set by software producers. Since this system play back DVD VIDEOs and VIDEO CDs according to the disc contents the software producers designed, some playback features may not be available. Also, refer to the instructions supplied with the DVD

VIDEOs or VIDEO CDs.

This product is designed to play back discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed by some record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard and may not be playable by this product.

Notes on Multi Session disc

This system can play back Multi Session discs when an MP3 audio track, a JPEG image file or a DivX video file is contained in the first session. Any subsequent MP3 audio tracks, image files or DivX video files recorded in later sessions can also be played back.

If the first session is recorded in AUDIO CD or VIDEO CD format, only the first session will be played back.

The system will recognize a Multi Session disc as an AUDIO CD if there is a session recorded in AUDIO CD format on the disc. However, the system will only play back the disc if the first session is recorded in AUDIO CD format.

With DATA CD or DATA DVD, the system will only play back DivX video files even if it contains MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files.

About DVD VIDEO software types and the conversion method

The DVD VIDEO software can be divided into 2 types:

Film-based software

Film-based software is derived from film and displays the images at 24 frames per second.

Video-based software

Video-based software is derived from TV, such as dramas and sitcoms and displays images at 30 frames or 60 fields per second.

Some DVD VIDEO contains both types of software. In order for these images to appear in your TV naturally when the video output is in progressive format, the progressive signals need to be converted to match your DVD VIDEO software.

Note

There would be no image on your TV or the image is not clear if your setting does not match your TV or connection.

Turn on the TV and select the video input so that you can view the pictures from this system.
