Introduction —Continued
Supported Discs
The DV-SP404/DV-SP404E supports the following
discs.
• Some audio CDs feature copy protection that doesn’t
conform to the official CD standard. Since these are
nonstandard discs, they may not play properly in the
DV-SP404/DV-SP404E.
• The DV-SP404/DV-SP404E supports CD-R and
CD-RW discs recorded in Video CD format, audio CD
format, or ISO 9660 Level 1 or 2 format with MP3,
WMA, and JPEG files. It also supports DVD-R and
DVD-RW discs recorded in DVD-Video format. How-
ever, some CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, and DVD-RW
discs may not work properly for any of the following
reasons: incomplete disc finalization, disc burner
characteristics, disc characteristics, the disc is dam-
aged or dirty. See the manual supplied with your disc
burner for more information. Condensation or dirt on
the optical pickup lens can also affect playback.
• The DV-SP404/DV-SP404E supports 8 cm and 12 cm
discs.
• The DV-SP404/DV-SP404E does not support disc
types not listed.
• Don’t use discs with an unusual shape, such as those
shown below, because you may damage the DV-
SP404/DV-SP404E.
• Don’t use discs that have residue from adhesive tape,
rental discs with peeling labels, or discs with custom-
made labels or stickers. Doing so may damage the DV-
SP404/DV-SP404E and you may not be able to
remove the disc properly.
