more detailed information.)
yy This player requires discs and recordings to
meet certain technical standards in order to
achieve optimal playback quality.
yy Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to
these standards. There are many different

these require certain pre-existing conditions
to ensure compatible playback.
yy Customers should note that permission
is required in order to download MP3 /
WMA files and music from the Internet.
Our company has no right to grant such
permission. Permission should always be
sought from the copyright owner.
yy You have to set the disc format option
to [Mastered] in order to make the discs
compatible with the LG players when
formatting rewritable discs. When setting
the option to Live System, you cannot use
it on LG player. (Mastered/Live File System :
