Unfinalized discs cannot be played back.
For DVD-RW/R, discs recorded in the VR (video recording) format cannot be played back. Only the finalized video
format discs can be played back.
Some discs cannot be played back because of incompatible recording conditions, characteristics of the recorder or
special properties of discs.
You can play back discs which bear the marks listed in “Playable Media”. If you use nonstandardized discs, this
unit may not play them back. Even if they are played back, the sound or video quality will be compromised.
If the recorded portion of the disc is too small (less than 2-3/16 inches (55 mm) across), it may not play back
properly.

Color System
DVD is recorded in different color systems throughout the
world. The most common color system is NTSC (which is
used primarily in the United States and Canada).
This unit uses NTSC, so DVD you play back must be
recorded in the NTSC system. You cannot play back DVD
recorded in PAL color systems.
