*1: This unit conforms to the NTSC color system. Discs recorded in other color systems such as PAL cannot be played back.
*2: Certain DVD-video does not operate as described in this manual due to the intentions of the disc’s producers.
*3: Scratched or stained discs may not be played back.
*4: Some discs cannot be played back because of incompatible recording conditions, characteristics of the recorder or special prop-
erties of discs.
*5: You can play back discs which bear the marks above. 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.
*6: You may play back the unfinalized DVD-RW/-R recorded in the video format on our brand’s DVD recorder. However, depending
on the recording status of a disc, the disc may not be played back at all or normally (the picture or sound may not be smooth,
etc.). In this case, you need to finalize the disc with the DVD recorder. Refer to the manual accompanying the DVD recorder.
*7: Only discs recorded in the video format and finalized can be played back.
Unfinalized discs cannot be played back. Depending on the recording status of a disc, the disc may not be played back at all (the
picture or sound may not be smooth, etc.).
*8: 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.
*9: Do not glue paper or put stickers on to the disc. These may damage the disc, and the unit may not read it correctly.
