Notes:
?
Depending

disc
itself,
some CD-R/RW
(or DVD±R/RW)

they may
result in
malfunctions.
?
This DVD

meet certain technical standards in order to achieve
optimal playback quality.
Pre-recorded DVDs are
automatically
set to these standards. There are
many
different
types
of recordable disc formats

these
require
certain
pre-existing
conditions
(see

to
download MP3 / WMA
files
and

no
right
to
grant
such
permission.
Permission
should
always
be
sought
from
the
copyright
owner.

regional
code
printed
on the rear of the

Notes
on

Codes
?
Most DVD discs have a
globe
with one or more
numbers in it
clearly
visible on the cover. This
number must match
your
DVD
player's regional
code or the disc cannot
play.
?
If
you try
to
play
a DVD with a different
regional
code from
your player,
the
message
"Check
Regional
Code"
appears
on the TV screen.
