downloading a VOD, you need to input the registration number of your DVD player on the purchase 

form on the site. The registration number can be located in the Setup Menu under the “Language”

Note:  If you cannot play a DivX VOD file recorded on a CD-R disc after downloading it, the rental period 

allocated during purchase from the website may have expired. It is also possible that the recorded 
file is not compatible with your player because of different versions or incorrect download param-
eters. The parameters used when copying to CD-R may be another reason for this. Since it is not 
possible here to supply all the information, parameters and advice relating to the use of DivX VOD
