Note on playback operations of DVD VIDEOs/
VIDEO CDs
Some playback operations of DVD VIDEOs/
VIDEO CDs may be intentionally set by software 
producers. Since this recorder plays DVD 
VIDEOs/VIDEO CDs according to the disc 
contents the software producers designed, some 
playback features may not be available. Also, see 
the instructions supplied with the DVD VIDEOs/
VIDEO CDs.
Region code (DVD VIDEO only)
Your recorder has a region code printed on the rear 
of the unit and will only play DVD VIDEOs 
(playback only) labelled with identical region 
codes. This system is used to protect copyrights.
DVD VIDEOs labelled 
 will also play on this 
recorder.
If you try to play any other DVD VIDEO, the 
message “Playback prohibited by region code.” 
will appear on the TV screen. Depending on the 
DVD VIDEO, no region code indication may be 
labelled even though playing the DVD VIDEO is 
prohibited by area restrictions.
Music discs encoded with copyright protection 
technologies
This product is designed to play back discs that 
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.
Recently, various music discs encoded with 
copyright protection technologies are being 
marketed by some record companies. Please be 
aware that among those discs, there are some that 
do not conform to the CD standard and may not be 
playable by this product.
Note on DualDiscs
 A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which 
mates DVD recorded material on one side with 
digital audio material on the other side. 
However, since the audio material side does not 
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard, 
playback on this product is not guaranteed.
Notes
• Some  DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs, or 
CD-RWs/CD-Rs cannot be played on this recorder due 
to the recording quality or physical condition of the 
disc, or the characteristics of the recording device and 
authoring software. The disc will not play if it has not 
been correctly finalized. For more information, see the 
operating instructions for the recording device.
• You cannot mix VR mode and Video mode on the same 
DVD-RW. To change the disc’s format, reformat the 
disc. Note that the disc’s contents will be erased after 
reformatting.
• You cannot shorten the time required for recording 
even with high-speed discs.
• It is recommended that you use discs with “For Video” 
printed on their packaging.
• You cannot add new recordings to DVD+Rs, DVD-Rs, 
or DVD-RWs (Video mode) that contain recordings 
made on other DVD equipment.
• In some cases, you may not be able to add new 
recordings to DVD+RWs that contain recordings made 
on other DVD equipment. If you do add a new 
recording, note that this recorder will rewrite the DVD 
menu.
• You cannot edit recordings on DVD+RWs, DVD-RWs 
(Video mode), DVD+Rs, or DVD-Rs that are made on 
other DVD equipment.
• If the disc contains PC data unrecognizable by this 
recorder, the data may be erased.
• You may not be able to record on some recordable 
discs, depending on the disc.
