In some cases, CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-
RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW cannot be played on this system due to the recording quality or physical condition of the disc, or the characteristics of the recording device and authoring software.
The disc will not play if it has not been correctly finalized. For more information, see the operating instructions for the recording device.

Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies
This product is designed to play back discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.
Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed by some record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard and may not be playable by this product.
Note on DualDiscs
A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD recorded material on one side with digital audio material on the other side.
However, since the audio material side does not conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback on this product is not guaranteed.
About Multi Session CD
• This system can play Multi Session CDs when an MP3 audio track is contained in the first session. Any subsequent MP3 audio tracks recorded in later sessions can also be played back.
• This system can play Multi Session CDs when a JPEG image file is contained in the first session. Any subsequent JPEG image files recorded in later sessions can also be played back.
• If audio tracks and images in music CD format or video CD format are recorded in the first session, only the first session will be played back.

If you try to play any other DVD VIDEO, the message [Playback prohibited by area limitations.] will appear on the TV screen.
Depending on the DVD VIDEO, no region code
indication may be given even though playing the
DVD VIDEO is prohibited by area restrictions.
Note about playback operations of DVDs and
VIDEO CDs
Some playback operations of DVDs and VIDEO
CDs may be intentionally set by software producers. Since this system plays DVDs and
VIDEO CDs according to the disc contents the software producers designed, some playback features may not be available. Be sure to read the operating instructions supplied with the DVDs or VIDEO CDs.
