Copying copyrighted material
• You should only use recording equipment for
lawful copying. Make sure that you follow
legal guidelines in your area. Copying of
copyrighted material, such as films or music,
is unlawful unless permitted by a legal
exception or consented to by the rights
owner.

Notes
• 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 DVD/VCR.
• Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (for
example, heart-shaped or octagonal). Doing so
may result in malfunctions.
• Depending on the recording software and 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.)
• Your recorder requires discs and recordings to
meet certain technical standards in order to
achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded
DVDs are automatically set to these standards.
There are many different types of recordable
disc formats (including CD-R discs containing
MP3 or WMA files) and these require certain
pre-existing conditions (see above) to ensure
compatible playback.
• You should note that permission is required in
order to download MP3 or WMA files and
music from the Internet. Our company has no
right to grant such permission. Permission
should always be sought from the copyright
owner.
Notes
• Most DVDs have a globe with one or more
numbers in it clearly visible on the cover. This
number must match your recorder’s regional
code or the DVD cannot play.
• If you try to play a DVD with a different regional
code from the recorder, the message “Check
Regional Code” appears on the TV screen.
