NOTE
Operation and functions of BD/DVD-Video discs may differ from the explanations in this manual. Furthermore, some functions
may not be usable, at the disc manufacturer’s discretion.
“Finalize” refers to a recorder processing a recorded disc so that it will play in other players/recorders as well as this player.
Only finalized discs will play back in this player. (This player does not have a function to finalize discs.)
Pioneer cannot guarantee playback compatibility for all self-recorded BD-discs because Blu-ray is a new and evolving format.
The playback compatibility will be affected by your choice of BD-recorder, BD-disc and BD-burning software. Please always
ensure you are using the latest software versions on all units and contact the individual manufacturers for further help if
required. To avoid inconveniences, please check the playback compatibility of your self-recorded disc before you purchase
this BD-player. For maximum playback compatibility of self-recorded BD-discs Pioneer recommends that the BDMV/BDAV
standards are used. If a playback issue occurs after purchase, please download the latest software version for your BD-player
from the Pioneer internet page or ask your Pioneer-Dealer. This BD-player uses the latest technology available at the time of
development and cannot guarantee support for future enhancements or changes to the standard. •
