DVD-R/RW compatibility

using the DVD-Video format that have been
finalized using a DVD-recorder.
• This unit will play DVD-RW discs recorded
using the Video Recording (VR) format.

PC-created disc compatibility

• If you record a disc using a personal
computer, even if it is recorded in a
"compatible format" as listed above, there
will be cases in which the disc may not be
playable in this machine due to the setting
of the application software used to create
the disc. In these particular instances,
check with the software publisher for more
detailed information.
• Check the DVD-R/RW or CD-R/RW software
disc boxes for additional compatibility
information.
Due to the unique construction of DVD-R/
RW and CD-R/RW discs, leaving them for
extended periods of time in the pause mode
at a single place on the disc may result in
the discs' becoming difficult to play at that
location on the disc. When playing discs
containing important data, users are recom-
mended to construct backup archive discs.

DVD-Video regions

All DVD-Video discs carry a region mark on the
case somewhere that indicates which region(s)
of the world the disc is compatible with. Your
DVD player also has a region mark, which you
can find on the rear panel. Discs from incompat-
ible regions will not play in this player. Discs
marked ALL will play in any player.
