Sony BDV-IS1000 Operating Instructions Manual page 131

Note on playback operations of a BD/DVD
Some playback operations of a BD/DVD may be intentionally set by software producers. Since this
system plays a BD/DVD according to the disc contents the software producers designed, some
playback features may not be available. Refer to the instructions supplied with the BD/DVD.
Region code (BD-ROM/DVD VIDEO only)
Your system has a region code printed on the rear of the unit and will only play a BD-ROM/DVD
VIDEO (playback only) labeled with identical region codes. This system is used to protect copyrights.
DVD VIDEO labeled will also play on this system.
ALL
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 BD-ROM/DVD VIDEO, no region code may be indicated
even though playing the BD-ROM/DVD VIDEO is prohibited by area restrictions.
Notes about BD-REs/BD-Rs, DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs, or
CD-Rs/CD-RWs
Some BD-REs/BD-Rs, DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs, or CD-Rs/CD-RWs cannot be
played on this system due to the recording quality or physical condition of the disc, or the
characteristics of the recording device and authoring software.
A DVD disc will not play if it has not been correctly finalized. For more information, refer to the
operating instructions supplied with 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 using normal playback.
Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies
This product is designed to play back discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard. 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.
Note about double-layer DVDs
The playback pictures and sound may be momentarily interrupted when the layers switch.
Note about 8 cm BD-REs/8 cm BD-Rs
Some 8 cm BD-REs/8 cm BD-Rs cannot be played on this system.
