DVD-Rs or CD-Rs/CD-RWs
Some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, DVD-RWs/DVD-
Rs, or CD-Rs/CD-RWs cannot be played on this 
player 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, refer to the 
operating instructions for the recording device. 
Note that some playback functions may not work 
with some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, even if they 
have been correctly finalized. In this case, view 
the disc by normal playback. Also some DATA 
CDs/DATA DVDs created in Packet Write 
format cannot be played.

technologies
This product is designed to playback discs that 
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.
Recently, various music discs encoded with 
copyright protection technologies are 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.

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.

Some playback operations of DVDs and 
VIDEO CDs may be intentionally set by 
software producers. Since this player plays 
DVDs and VIDEO CDs according to the disc 
contents the software producers designed, 
some playback features may not be available. 
Also, refer to the instructions supplied with 
the DVDs or VIDEO CDs.
