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 bottom of the control 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. The BD-Rs recorded on a PC cannot be
played if postscripts are recordable.
A CD or 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.
