    that appliance and has no additional outlets or 
    branch circuits. Check the specification page of this 
    owner’s manual to be certain. Do not overload wall 
    outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged 
    wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or 
    damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. 
    Any of these conditions could result in electric 
    shock or fire. Periodically examine the cord of your 
    appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage 
    or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the 
    appliance, and have the cord replaced with an 
    exact replacement part by an authorized service 
    center. Protect the power cord from physical or 
    mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, 
    pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay 
    particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and 
    the point where the cord exits the appliance. To 
    disconnect power from the mains, pull out the 
    mains cord plug. When installing the product, 
    ensure that the plug is easily accessible.

     y Because AACS (Advanced Access Content 
    System) is approved as content protection 
    system for BD format, similar to use of CSS 
    (Content Scramble System) for 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.
     yFurthermore, BD-ROM Mark and BD+ are 
    additionally used as content protection systems 
    for BD 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 an 
    authorized Customer Service Centre.
     yMany BD-ROM/DVD discs 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 discs.
     yThis product incorporates copyright protection 
    technology that is protected by U.S. patents 
    and other intellectual property rights. Use of 
    this copyright protection technology must be

    Important Notice for TV colour 
    system
    The colour system of this player differs according to 
    currently playing discs.
    For example, when the player plays the disc 
    recorded in the NTSC colour system, the image is 
    output as an NTSC signal.
    Only the multi system colour TV can receive all 
    signals output from the player.
     yIf you have a PAL colour system TV, you will see 
    just distorted images when using discs or video 
    contents recorded in NTSC.
     yThe multi system colour TV changes the colour 
    system automatically according to input signals. 
    In case that the colour system is not changed 
    automatically, turn it off and then on to see 
    normal images on screen.
     yEven if the disc recorded in NTSC colour system 
    are well displayed on your TV, these may not be 
    recorded correctly on your recorder.

     yDepending on the conditions of the 
    recording equipment or the CD
    -R/RW (or 
    DVD±R/RW ) disc itself, some CD-R/RW (or 
    DVD±R/RW ) discs cannot be played on the 
    unit.
     y Depending on the recording sof
    
    tware & the 
    finalization, some recorded discs (CD-R/RW,

     y BD-R/RE, DVD±R/RW and CD
    
    -R/RW discs 
    recorded using a personal computer or a 
    DVD or CD Recorder may not play if the 
    disc is damaged or dirty, or if there is dirt or 
    condensation on the player’s lens.
     y If you recor
    
    d a disc using a personal 
    computer, even if it is recorded in a 
    compatible format, there are cases in which 
    it may not play because of the settings of
