Notes on Copyrights

 

y

Because AACS (Advanced Access Content 
System) is approved as content protection 
system for Blu-ray Disc format, similar to use of 
CSS (Content Scramble System) for DVD format, 
certain restrictions are imposed on playback, 
analogue signal output, etc., of AACS protected 
contents. The operation of this product and 
restrictions on this product may vary depending 
on your time of purchase as those restrictions 
may be adopted and/or changed by AACS after 
the production of this product.

 

y

Furthermore, BD-ROM Mark and BD+ are 
additionally used as content protection systems 
for Blu-ray Disc format, which imposes certain 
restrictions including playback restrictions for 
BD-ROM Mark and/or BD+ protected contents. 
To obtain additional information on AACS, BD-
ROM Mark, BD+, or this product, please contact 
an authorized Customer Service Center.

 

y

Many BD-ROM/DVD discs are encoded with 
copy protection. Because of this, you should only 
connect your player directly to your TV, not to a 
VCR. Connecting to a VCR results in a distorted 
picture from copy-protected discs.

 

y

This product incorporates copyright protection 
technology that is protected by U.S. patents 
and other intellectual property rights. Use of 
this copyright protection technology must be 
authorized by Rovi, and is intended for home and 
other limited viewing uses only unless otherwise 
authorized by Rovi. Reverse engineering or 
disassembly is prohibited.

 

y

Under the U.S. Copyright laws and Copyright 
laws of other countries, unauthorized recording, 
use, display, distribution, or revision of television 
programs, videotapes, BD-ROM discs, DVDs, CDs 
and other materials may subject you to civil and/
or criminal liability.
