marked ALL will play in any player.)
BD/DVD video operations and functions may be different
from the explanations in this manual and some operations
may be prohibited due to disc manufacturer's settings.
If a menu screen or operating instructions are displayed
during playback of a disc, follow the operating procedure
displayed.
The audio component of a DVD video recorded at 96

playback.
NOTE
Playback for some of the discs in the left side column
tables may not be possible depending on the disc.
“Finalize” refers to a recorder processing a recorded disc
so that it will play in other DVD players/recorders as well as
this system. Only finalized DVD discs will play back in this
