When loading discs, please note the following:

logos only. DO NOT attempt to play another
type of disc, as shown in the list on page 46.

video format. It will not play discs for other
standards such as PAL or SECAM.
•
Playback capability for CD-RW discs will vary
according to the quality of the CD-RW disc.
On some occasions, it is possible that CD-RW
discs may not play on the DVD600
II
. This does
not indicate any problem with the DVD600
II
.
•
The DVD600
II
will only play discs that are
coded for Region 1 or discs that are open to
being played in all regions. Discs that contain
a Region Code of 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 (as noted by a
number inside a world map logo on the disc’s
cover jacket or case) will not play.
•
Both 5-inch (12cm) and 3-inch (8cm) discs may
be used.
•
When loading CD audio discs, load the discs
with the label side up.

Some DVD discs are double-sided. The title
information for these will be printed on the
inner ring of the disc, very close to the center
hole. The title for the side you wish to play
should be facing up.

The DVD600
II
is also capable of playing discs
containing MP3 audio files.
Notes on DVD-Audio discs:
• The DVD600

while a selection is playing. Sometimes, this
picture may disappear when play is stopped and
the DVD600
II
is placed in the Resume mode. To
restore the picture, fully stop play by pressing
the
Stop Button twice before contin-
uing play.
