• The following discs cannot be played back:
DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, etc.
Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the speakers.

is due to the disc programming and disc structure, but not a malfunction of this unit.
• You can play back DVD-R recorded with the DVD VIDEO format, but some may not be played back because of the disc characteristics or
recording conditions.

Notes on CD-R and CD-RW
• User-edited CD-R (Recordable) and CD-RW (ReWritable) can
be played back only if they are already “finalized.”
• The unit can play back CD-R or CD-RW recorded on a
personal computer if they have been recorded in the audio CD
format.
The unit can also play back CD-R or CD-RW if MP3 files or
JPEG files are recorded on them.
However, they may not be played back because of their disc
characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stain on
them. Especially, the configuration and characteristics of an
MP3 disc or a JPEG disc is determined by the writing
(encoding) software and hardware used for recording.
Therefore, due to the software and hardware used, the
following symptoms may occur:
– Some discs may not be played back.
– Some tracks on an MP3 disc are skipped and may not be
played back normally.
– Some files on a JPEG disc may be played back distortedly.
• Before playing back CD-R or CD-RW, read their instructions
or cautions carefully.
• CD-RW may require a longer readout time. It is caused by the
fact that the reflectance of CD-RW is lower than for regular
audio CD.
Note on Region Code
DVD players and DVD VIDEO have their own Region Code
numbers. This unit can play back only DVD VIDEO recorded
with the color system of NTSC whose Region Code numbers
include “1.”
If a DVD VIDEO with the wrong Region Code numbers is
loaded, “REGION CODE ERROR!” appears on the TV and
playback cannot start.
IMPORTANT : Before playing a disc, make sure of the
following...
• Check the connection with the TV.
• Turn on the TV and select the correct input mode on the TV to
view the pictures or on-screen indications on the TV screen.
• For disc playback, you can change the initial setting to your
preference. (See pages 49 to 57.)
If “
” appears on the TV screen when you press a button,
the disc cannot accept an operation you have tried to do, or
data required for that operation is not recorded on the disc.
NOTICE : In some cases, without showing “
”, operations
will not be accepted.
