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 Disc Type and Characteristics
section of this Manual. If you encounter compatibility problems, please contact the SAMSUNG customer care center
at 1-800 SAMSUNG.

Playback may not work for some types of discs, or when specifi c 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.
