from a video provider licensed to provide AVC/VC-1 Video. No license is granted or shall be implied

Because AACS (Advanced Access Content System) is approved as content protection system for BD
format, similar to use of CSS (Content Scramble System) for DVD format, certain restrictions are
imposed on playback, analog 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.
Furthermore, BD-ROM Mark and BD+ are additionally used as content protection systems for BD
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.

This product is made and tested to meet safety standards of the FCC, requirements and compliance with
safety performance of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and also with FDA Radiation
Performance Standards 21 CFR Subchapter J.

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.

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.

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.
