Region code of DVDs you can play on this system

Your system has a region code printed on the back of the unit and will only play DVDs labeled with identical region code.

DVDs labeled ALL will also be played on this system.

If you try to play any other DVD, the message “Playback prohibited by area limitations.” will appear on the TV screen. Depending on the DVD, no region code indication may be labeled even though playing the DVD is prohibited by area restrictions.

Discs that this system cannot play

•CD-ROMs (except for extension “.MP3”, “.JPG” or “.JPEG”)

•CD-Rs/CD-RWs other than those recorded in the following formats:

–music CD format

–video CD format

–MP3/JPEG format that conforms to ISO9660*1 Level 1/Level 2, Joliet or Multi Session*2

•Progressive JPEG format files cannot be played on this system.

•Data part of CD-Extras

continued

5GB

•DVD-RWs in VR mode (DVD-RWs created in VR (Video Recording) mode allow the contents to be programed or edited.)

•DVD-ROMs

•DVD Audio discs

•A DVD with a different region code.

•Audio tracks in MP3PRO format.

•A disc that has a non-standard shape (e.g., card, heart).

•A disc with paper or stickers on it.

•A disc that has the adhesive, cellophane tape, or a sticker still left on it.

*1 ISO9660 Format

The most common international standard for the logical format of files and folders on a CD-ROM. There are several specification levels. In Level 1, file names must be in the 8.3 format (no more than eight characters in the name, no more than three characters in the extension “.MP3” or “.JPG”) and in capital letters. Folder names can be no longer than eight characters. There can be no more than eight nested folder levels. Level 2 specifications allow file names and folder names up to 31 characters long. Each folder can have up to 8 trees.

For Joliet in the expansion format (file and folder names can have up to 64 characters) make sure of the contents of the writing software, etc.

*2 Multi Session

This is a recording method that enables adding of data using the Track-At-Once method. Conventional CDs begin at a CD control area called the Lead-in and end at an area called Lead-out. A Multi Session CD is a CD having multiple sessions, with each segment from Lead-in to Lead-out regarded as a single session.

CD-Extra: This format records audio (audio CD data) on the tracks in session 1 and data on the tracks in session 2.

Notes on discs

•This system can play CD-R/CD-RW discs edited by the user. However, note that playback of some discs may not be possible depending on the recording device used for recording or the disc condition.

•CD-R and CD-RW discs that have not been correctly finalized (processing to allow play by a normal CD player) cannot be played.

•CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in multisession that have not ended by “closing the session” are not supported.

•The system may be unable to play MP3/JPEG format files that do not have the extender “.MP3”, “.JPG” or “.JPEG”.

•Attempting to play non-MP3/JPEG format files that have the extender “.MP3”, “.JPG” or “.JPEG” may result in noise or malfunction. Playback is possible up to 8 levels.

•With formats other than ISO9660 level 1 and 2, folder names or file names may not be displayed correctly.

•The following discs take a longer time to start playback.

–a disc recorded with complicated tree structure.

–a disc recorded in Multi Session.

–a disc to which data can be added (nonfinalized disc).

•Some CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVD-Rs or DVDRWs (in video mode) (DVD-RWs created in video mode have the same format as a DVD VIDEO) cannot be played on this system depending upon the recording quality or physical condition of the disc, or the characteristics of the recording device. Furthermore, the disc will not play if it has not been correctly finalized. For more information, see the operating instructions for the recording device.

•A disc recorded in packet write format cannot be played.

Note on playback operations of DVDs and VIDEO CDs

Some playback operations of DVDs and VIDEO CDs may be intentionally set by software producers. Since this system plays DVDs 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 DVDs or VIDEO CDs.

Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies

This product is designed to playback 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.

Cautions when playing a disc that is recorded in Multi Session

•This system can play Multi Session CDs when an MP3 audio track is contained in the first session. Any subsequent MP3 audio tracks recorded in later sessions can also be played back.

•This system can play Multi Session CDs when a JPEG image file is contained in the first session. Any subsequent JPEG image files recorded in later sessions can also be played back.

•If audio tracks and images in music CD format or video CD format are recorded in the first session, only the first session will be played back.
