damage, dirt or condensation on either the disc or the
player’s pick-up lens.
Special note about particular formats or software follows
below:
CD-R/RW Compatibility
• This unit will play CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded
in CD Audio or Video CD format. However, any other
content may cause the disc not to play, or create
noise/distortion in the output.
• This unit cannot record CD-R or CD-RW discs
• Un-finalized CD-R/RW discs recorded in CD Audio can be
played, but not all Table of Contents (playing time, etc..)
will be displayed.
DVD-R/RW Compatibility
• This unit will play DVD-R/RW discs that were recorded
using the DVD Video format.
• This unit will not play DVD-RW discs that were recorded
using the Video Recording format.
• This unit cannot record DVD-R/RW discs
• Un-finalized DVD-R/RW discs cannot be played in this
player.
PC Created Disc Compatibility
• If you record a disc using a Personal Computer, even if it is
recorded in a “compatible format” as listed above, there
will be cases in which the disc may not be playable in this
machine due to the setting of the application software used
to create the disc. In these particular incidences, check with
the software publisher for more detailed information.
• DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW software disc boxes also have
additional compatibility information.
DVD Video regions
4 3 2 ALL
All DVD Video discs carry a region mark on the case
somewhere that indicates which region(s) of the
world the disc is compatible with. Your DVD system
also has a region mark, which you can find on the
rear panel. Discs from incompatible regions will
not play in this system. Discs marked
ALL will play
in any player.
✗ Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloth—
this may prevent proper cooling of the unit.
✗ Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large
enough to support all four of the unit’s feet.
Avoiding problems with condensation
Condensation may form inside the system if it is
brought into a warm room from outside, or if the
temperature of the room rises quickly. Although the
condensation won’t damage the system, it may
temporarily impair its performance. For this reason you
should leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for
about an hour before switching on and using.
Moving the system
If you need to move the system, first switch it off and
unplug from the wall outlet. Never lift or move the unit
during playback—discs rotate at a high speed and may
be damaged.
