yy Depending on the recording software & the
finalization, some recorded discs (CD-R/RW, Regional code
DVD±R/RW, BD-R/RE) may not be playable. This unit has a regional code printed on the unit.

it may not play because of the settings of
the application software used to create the
disc. (Check with the software publisher for

yy This player requires discs and recordings to
meet certain technical standards in order to
achieve optimal playback quality.
yy Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to
these standards. There are many different

these require certain pre-existing conditions
to ensure compatible playback.
yy Customers should note that permission
is required in order to download MP3 /

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