Blu-ray Disc Compatibility
Blu-ray Disc is a new and evolving format. Accordingly, disc compatibility issues are possible. Not all discs are
compatible and not every disc will play back. For additional information, refer to the Compliance and Compatibility
Notice section of this Manual. If you encounter compatibility problems, please contact the SAMSUNG customer care
center. This Samsung Blu-ray Home Theater (HT-BD2/HT-BD2S) supports only the BD-ROM Profile 1 version 1.0
specification. If you want to play later version discs, you may need to update player's firmware. Please refer to
http://www.samsung.com/us or contact the SAMSUNG customer care center at 1-800 SAMSUNG.
Playback may not work for some types of discs, or when specific operations, such as angle change and aspect
ratio adjustment, are being performed. Information about the discs is written in detail on the box. Please refer to
this if necessary.
Do not allow the disc to become dirty or scratched. Fingerprints, dirt, dust, scratches or deposits of cigarette
smoke on the recording surface may make it impossible to use the disc for playback.
Discs with PAL programs recorded on them cannot be played using this product.
When a BD-Java title is played, loading may take longer than a normal title, or some functions may perform slowly.
