    BD-R/RE, DVD±R/RW and CD-R/RW discs recorded using a personal computer or a DVD or CD Recorder may not play if the disc is damaged or dirty, or if there is dirt or condensation on the player’s lens. y If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a compatible format, there are cases in which it may not play because of the settings of the application software used to create the disc. (Check with the software publisher for more detailed information.) y This player requires discs and recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. y Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files) and these require certain pre-existing conditions to ensure compatible playback. y Customers should note that permission is required in order to download MP3/ WMA files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner. y You have to set the disc format option to [Mastered] in order to make the discs compatible with the LG players when formatting rewritable discs.
