Notes about CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/
DVD-RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW
In some cases, CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-
RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW cannot be played on

physical condition of the disc, or the
characteristics of the recording device and
authoring software.
The disc will not play if it has not been correctly
finalized. For more information, see the
operating instructions for 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,

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.
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.
About Multi Session CD
This system can play Multi Session CDs when
an MP3 audio track is contained in the first
session. Any subsequent MP3 audio tracks
recorded in later sessions can also be played
back.
This system can play Multi Session CDs when
a JPEG image file is contained in the first
session. Any subsequent JPEG image files
recorded in later sessions can also be played
back.
If audio tracks and images in music CD format
or video CD format are recorded in the first
session, only the first session will be played
back.

rear of the unit and will only play DVDs labeled
with the same region code.

message [Playback prohibited by area
limitations.] will appear on the TV screen.
Depending on the DVD VIDEO, no region code
indication may be given even though playing the
DVD VIDEO is prohibited by area restrictions.
Note about playback
operations of DVDs and
VIDEO CDs
Some playback operations of DVDs and VIDEO
CDs may be intentionally set by software
producers. Since this system plays DVDs and
VIDEO CDs according to the disc contents the
software producers designed, some playback
features may not be available. Be sure to read the
operating instructions supplied with the DVDs
or VIDEO CDs.
