Playing Discs
Disc Handling Precautions
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the surface.
• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc. If there is glue (or a similar substance) on
the disc, remove the substance completely before using the disc.
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, or
leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight, as there can be a considerable rise in
temperature inside the car.
• After playing, store the disc in its case.
• Do not write on the label side with a ballpoint pen or other sharp writing utensils.
• Be careful not to drop or bend the disc.
Disc Cleaning Precautions
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center
out.
• Do not use solvents such as benzene, paint thinner, commercially available
cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.
Regional Coding
Your BDT player is designed to be compatible with region management information that
is encoded on most Blu-ray Disc recordings and DVD recordings. If there is a region code
on a disc other than the one your BDT player is designed for, it will not play in your BDT
player.
See the sidebar box on page 5 for complete information about your player's region
coding.
Copyright
Audio-visual material may consist of copyrighted works, which must not be recorded
without the permission of the owner of the copyright. Please refer to relevant laws
covering copyright protection.
Copy Protection
Your BDT player is in compliance with HDCP (High-Definition Copy Protection). A video
display connected via the HDMI Output connector must be HDCP-compliant.
The BDT player incorporates copy-protection technology. On Blu-ray Disc media and DVD
discs that include a copy-protection code, if the contents of the disc are copied using a
VCR, the copy-protection code prevents the videotape copy from playing normally.
Supported Disc Formats
The BDT player can play the following types of discs (in 5"/12cm and 3"/8cm size):
• BD-Video (single-layer or double-layer)
• DVD-Video
• DVD+R/+RW
• DVD-R/-RW
• CDDA (CD digital audio)
• CD-R/RW
NOTE: The compatibility and performance of dual-layer discs is not guaranteed.
Supported Media Codecs
The disc player can play media recorded in the following audio/video codecs:
• MPEG 1, Layer 1
• MPEG 2, Layer 2
• MPEG 2, Layer 3
• H.264
• VC-1
• AAC
• MP3 (from CD-R/RW, DVD+R/+RW, BD-R/RE and USB)
• JPEG (from CD-R/RW, DVD+R/+RW, BD-R/RE and USB)
• DivX 3.x/4.x/5.x (from CD-R/RW, DVD+R/+RW and USB)
NOTE: Due to differences in the formats of certain discs, it is possible that some
discs may include a mix of features, some of which are not compatible with the
BDT 3/BDT 30. Similarly, although Blu-ray Disc recordings and DVDs are capable of a
wide range of features, not all discs include every capability of its system. For example,
although the player is compatible with multi-angle discs, that feature operates only when
the disc is specially encoded for multiple-angle play. To make certain that a specific
feature or soundtrack option is available, please check the options noted on the disc
jacket.
Playback capability of recordable discs may vary due to variations in the quality of the
disc and the recorder used to create the disc.
