Music discs encoded with copyright
protection technologies
This product is designed to play back discs that
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.
Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright
protection technologies are 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.
Notes on CD-R/CD-RW playback
Discs recorded on CD-R/CD-RW drives may not be
played back because of scratches, dirt, recording
condition, or the drive's characteristics. Besides, the
discs, which are not yet finalized at the end of
recording, cannot be played back. In these cases,
"Reading" will remain or "Cannot Play" will appear on
the display.
Note on DTS-CDs
DTS signals are output from the DIGITAL (CD) OUT
jacks only. The DTS signals must be decoded on a
DTS-compliant digital device to be listened to.
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 on DSD Discs
A DSD Disc is a disc recorded in the DSF file format.
This player can play DSF files that you have recorded
on DVD-ROM compatible DVD-R, DVD-RW,
DVD+R and DVD+RW discs. For details on DSD
