Notes on Copyrights
Because AACS (Advanced Access Content
System) is approved as content protection sys-
tem for BD format, similar to use of CSS (Content
Scramble System) for DVD format, certain restric-
tions are imposed on playback, analog signal out-
put, etc., of AACS protected contents. The opera-
tion of this product and restrictions on this prod-
uct may vary depending on your time of purchase
as those restrictions may be adopted and/or
changed by AACS after the production of this
product.
Furthermore, BD-ROM Mark and BD+ are addi-
tionally used as content protection systems for
BD format, which imposes certain restrictions
including playback restrictions for BD-ROM Mark
and/or BD+ protected contents. To obtain addi-
tional information on AACS, BD-ROM Mark, BD+,
or this product, please contact an authorized
Customer Service Center.
Many BD-ROM/DVD discs are encoded with copy
protection. Because of this, you should only con-
nect your player directly to your TV, not to a VCR.
Connecting to a VCR results in a distorted picture
from copy-protected discs.
