Before Use (Continued)
Notes on DVDs
Some playback operations of DVDs may be
intentionally fixed by software manufacturers. As this
unit plays DVDs according to disc content designed
by the software manufacturer, some playback
features of the unit may not be available or other
functions may be added.
Refer also to the instructions supplied with the DVDs.
Some DVDs made for business purposes may not be
played on the unit.
Regional code of the unit and DVDs
This unit is designed and manufactured
for playback of Region 2 encoded DVD
software. The region code on the labels
of some DVD discs indicates which type of the unit
can play those discs. This unit can play only DVD
discs labeled 2 or ALL. If you try to play any other
discs, the message "Check Regional Code" will
appear on the TV screen. Some DVD discs may not
have a region code label even though their playback
is prohibited by area limits.
Note on DTS-encoded CDs
When playing DTS-encoded CDs, excessive noise
may be exhibited from the analog stereo output. To
avoid possible damage to the audio system, turn
down the volume before playing back such discs,
adjust the volume gradually, and keep the volume
level low. To enjoy DTS Digital SurroundTM playback,
an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital SurroundTM
decoder system must be connected to the digital
output of the unit.

It is forbidden by law to copy, broadcast, show, broadcast via
cable, play in public, or rent copyrighted material without
permission.
This product features the copy protection function developed
by Macrovision. Copy protection signals are recorded on
some discs. When recording and playing the pictures of
these discs on a VCR, picture noise will appear.
This product incorporates copyright protection technology
that is protected by method claims of certain U.S. patents
and other intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision
Corporation and other rights owners. Use of this copyright
protection technology must be authorized by Macrovision
Corporation, and is intended for home and other limited
