Note
Some DVD-Rs, DVD-RWs, CD-Rs, or CD-RWs
cannot be played on this player due to the recording
quality or physical condition of the disc, or the
characteristics of the recording device. DVD-RWs in
VR mode may also take time to play back due to the
recording condition.
Furthermore, the disc will not play if it has not been
correctly finalized. For more information, see the
operating instructions for the recording device.
Some playback operations of DVDs and
VIDEO CDs may be intentionally set by
software producers. Since this player plays
DVDs and VIDEO CDs according to the disc
contents the software producers designed,
some playback features may not be available.
Also, refer to the instructions supplied with
the DVDs or VIDEO CDs.
