• Some DualDiscs: A DualDisc is a two sided disc with DVD on one side
and digital audio on the other side. The digital audio side does not
generally meet the technical specifications of the Compact Disc Digital
Audio (CD-DA) format so playback is not guaranteed.
• Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies: among
such discs, some again do not conform to the CD standard so playback
is not guaranteed.
Since the Blu-ray Disc specifications are new and evolving, some discs
may not play properly depending on the disc type, version and encoding.
It is possible that a Blu-ray disc manufactured after the player was
manufactured uses certain new features of the Blu-ray Disc
specifications. To ensure the best possible viewing experience, the player
may need a firmware or software update from time to time.

This player is designed and manufactured to respond to the region
management information of DVD or BD discs. If the region number of a
BD-Video or DVD disc does not correspond to the region number of this
player, this player cannot play the disc.
BD-Video – This player plays BD-Video with marks that match the code on
the back of the unit (i.e. A, B or C).
Discs that have no region coding are also playable. These usually have all
3 region codes on the packaging in a pyramid.

region code on the back of the unit (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5).
Discs that are encoded for All regions are also playable.
• To keep the disc clean from scratches or fingerprints, handle the disc
by its edge. Do not touch the recording surface.
• Blu-ray Discs record data in very high density and the record layer is
very close to the disc surface. For this reason, Blu-ray Discs are more
sensitive to dust and fingerprints than DVD. Should you encounter
playback problems and see dirty spots on the disc surface, clean the
disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the centre out along the
radial direction. Do not wipe the disc in a circular motion.
• Do not use record cleaning sprays or solvents such as benzene, thinner
and anti-static spray.
• Do not attach labels or stickers to discs as this may cause the disc to
warp, become imbalanced or too thick, resulting in playback problems.
• Avoid exposing the discs to direct sunlight or heat sources.
• Do not use the following discs:
– Discs with exposed adhesive from removed stickers or labels. The
disc may get stuck inside the player.
– Warped or cracked discs.
– Irregularly shaped discs, such as heart or business card shapes.
