some CD-R/RW (or DVD-R/±RW) discs cannot be
played on the unit.

otes on DVDs and Video CDs
Some playback operations of DVDs and Video CDs
may be intentionally fixed by software manufacturers.
As this unit plays DVDs and Video CDs according to
disc content designed by the software manufacturer,
some playback features of the unit may not be available
or other functions may be added.
Make sure to also refer to the instructions supplied with
the DVDs and Video CDs. Some DVDs made for busi-
ness purposes may not be able to be played on the
unit.
Regional code of the DVD/VCR Receiver and DVDs
This DVD/VCR Receiver is designed and manufactured
for playback of region “1” encoded DVD soft-
ware. The region code on the labels of some
DVDs indicates which type of player can play
those discs. This unit can only play DVDs
labelled “1” or “ALL”. If you try to play any
other discs, the message “Check Regional Code” will
appear on the TV screen. Some DVDs that have no
region code label may still be subject to area restric-
tions and therefore not playable.
ote on DTS-encoded CDs
When playing DTS-encoded CDs, excessive noise may
be exhibited from the analog stereo output. To avoid
possible damage to the audio system, turn down the
volume before playing back such discs, adjust the vol-
ume gradually, and keep the volume level low. To enjoy
DTS Digital Surround
TM playback, an external 5.1 chan-
nel DTS Digital Surround TM decoder system must be
connected to the digital output of the unit.
