• DVD Logo is a trademark of DVD Format/Logo
Licensing Corporation.
• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply

Therefore, the use of Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on
this product may not be recommended.
• On some DVD VIDEOs, VCDs or SVCDs, their actual
operation may be different from what is explained in
this manual. This is due to the disc programming and
disc structure, not a malfunction of this system.
• Some discs may not be played back because of their disc
characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stains
on them.

This system does not support “multi-border” disc.
Notes on CD-R and CD-RW

own Region Code numbers. This system can play back
DVD VIDEO discs whose Region Code numbers include
the system’s Region Code, which is indicated on the rear
panel.
If a DVD with an improper Region Code number is loaded,
“REGION CODE ERROR!” appears on the TV screen and
playback cannot start.
Notes on color system
This system accommodates the PAL system, and can also
play discs recorded with the NTSC system. Note that an
NTSC video signal on a disc is converted to the PAL60
