disc using this recorder. So if you want to use the disc on this recorder, you must format the disc using the origi-
nal recorder.

– Depending 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.
– Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the labeled side or the recorded side) of a disc.
– Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (e.g., heart-shaped or octagonal). Doing so may result in malfunctions.
– Depending on the recording software & the finalization, some recorded discs (CD-R/RW or DVD±R/RW) may
not be playable.
–DVD-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.
– If 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.)
Regional code of the recorder and DVDs
This recorder is designed and manufactured for playback of Region 2 encoded DVD software. The region

unit can play only DVD discs labeled 2 or ALL. If you try to play any other discs, the message “Incorrect
region code. Can’t play back” will appear on the TV screen. Some DVD discs may not have a region code label
even though their playback is prohibited by area limits.

features of the unit may not be available or other functions may be added.
