Introduction

Introduction

ENGLISH

The following discs will not play back on this unit.

BD and DVD are recorded in different color systems throughout
the world. The most common color system is NTSC (which is used
primarily in the United States and Canada).
This unit uses NTSC, so BD or DVD you play back must be recorded
in the NTSC system. You cannot play back BD or DVD recorded in
other color systems.

This unit has been designed to play back BD with
region A and DVD-video with region 1. You cannot
play back BD or DVD-video that are labeled for other
regions. Look for the symbols on the right on your BD
or DVD-video. If these region symbols do not appear
on your BD or DVD-video, you cannot play back the
disc in this unit. The letter or number inside the
globe refers to region of the world. A BD or
DVD-video labeled for a specific region can only play
back on the unit with the same region code.

The contents of BD / DVD are generally divided into titles. Titles
may be further subdivided into chapters.

To specify for which media type each function is, we put the
following symbols at the beginning of each item to operate.

If you do not find any of the symbols listed above under the
function heading, the operation is applicable to all media.
