disc compatibility and player operation issues with new and existing format discs are

possible because:

- Blu-ray is a new and evolving format and this player may not operate all features of Blu-

ray Discs because some features may be optional, additional features may have been

added to the Blu-ray Disc format after the production of this player, and certain available

features may be subject to delayed availability;

- new and existing disc formats may be revised, changed, updated, improved and/or

supplemented;

- some discs are produced in a manner that allows specific or limited operation or restricts

Copy protection

• Because AACS (Advanced Access Content System) is approved as the content protection

system for the Blu-ray Disc format, similar to use of CSS (Content Scramble System) for

the 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 the Blu-ray Disc 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

SAMSUNG customer care center.

• Many Blu-ray Disc/DVDs 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 Blu-ray Disc/DVDs.

• Under the U.S. Copyright laws and Copyright laws of other countries, unauthorized

recording, use, display, distribution, or revision of television programs, videotapes, Blu-ray

Discs, DVDs, and other materials may subject you to civil and/or criminal liability.

• Cinavia Notice : This product uses Cinavia technology to limit the use of unauthorized
