DVD copy protection  
In accordance with the DVD standard, your DVD player is equipped with a Copy Protection system, which can be switched on  
and off by the DVD disc itself, in order to make any recording of the relevant DVD disc onto a videotape of very poor picture  
quality, or even impossible.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 use only unless  
otherwise authorized by Macrovision Corporation. Reverse engineering or disassembly is prohibited.”

Connections and Setup  
Discs you can play  
While advances have been made to ensure that your disc player is compatible with the largest number of discs  
possible, it cannot be guaranteed that you will be able to play discs which might not be compliant with audio CD,  
VCD and SVCD standards. In the case of writable and rewritable discs, compatibility with this player depends on the  
DVD writer, the write software and the disc used.  
DVD-Video  
Digital video discs - 12 cm and 8 cm, single or double sided, single or dual layer. DVDs are high-density optical discs on  
which high quality picture and audio are recorded by means of digital signals.  
EN  
DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW  
DVD+Rewritable  
Most DVD-R and DVD+R (one recording only), DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs (rewritable). Depending on the  
DVD writer and discs used. Recordings using DVD-R and DVD-RW discs must be made inVideo DVD mode.  
Recordings using DVD+RW discs must be made in accordance with the specifications for DVD+RW discs with a 4.7 GB capacity.  
VCD -Video Compact Disc  
CD on which you can record up to 74 min. ofVHS-quality video associated with still images, audio tracks and  
interactive menus.  
SVCD - SuperVideo Compact Disc  
Most SVCDs comply with the IEC62107 standard. SVCDs can be used to record up to 70 minutes of digital sound and images in  
accordance with MPEG-2 standards for video and MPEG-1 standards for audio.  
Audio CDs  
Audio CDs (8 and 12 cm).  
CD-R, CD-RW  
Most CD-R (one recording only) and CD-RW discs (rewritable).  
This player can play most CD-R discs. CD-Rs written during a multisession recording can also be played, provided that the  
session has ended before the disc is played (depending on the write software). However, depending on the condition of the CD-  
writer, computer and the disc used, you may find that not all discs will play successfully.When playing a CD-R disc, it is completely  
normal for the unit to take up to 20 seconds to recognise the disc before starting to play. If the disc is not recognised after a  
period of 20 seconds, remove the disc, and then insert it again.  
• Irrespective of the actual recording capacity of the CD-R, do not use its full capacity. • CD-Rs should be preferably used instead  
of CD-RWs (rewritable CDs) as, in certain cases, CD-RW playback may be faulty. • Use reliable, good-quality CD write software.  
• Close all other applications on the computer to ensure reliable CD-R disc recording.  
mp3 files  
CD-R and CD-RW discs containing audio files in mp3 format. As for CD-R mp3 discs, please follow all the  
recommendations for CD-R above, along with the comments below:  
Your mp3 files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET format. ISO 9660 format and Joliet mp3 files are compatible with Microsoft’s DOS  
and Windows, as well as with Apple Mac.These two formats are the most widely used. • mp3 filenames should not exceed 12  
characters, and should end with the “.mp3” extension. General name format:Title.mp3.When composing your title ensure that you  
use 8 characters or less, have no spaces in the name, and avoid the use of special characters including ( . , / , \ , = ,+).• Use a  
decompression transfer rate of at least 128 kB/sec (kilobytes/second) when recording mp3 files. Sound quality with mp3 files  
basically depends on the rate of compression/decompression you choose. Obtaining audio CD quality sound requires an  
analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to mp3 format, of at least 128 kB/sec and up to 160 kB/sec. Choosing higher rates,  
such as 192 kB/sec or more, only rarely produces even better sound quality. Conversely, files with sampling rates below 128 kB/sec  
will not play properly. • Do not try recording copyright-protected mp3 files.Securized” files are encrypted and code-protected to  
prevent illegal copying.You must not copy such files.  
Important:The above recommendations cannot be taken as a guarantee that the DVD player will play mp3  
recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality.You should note that certain technologies and methods for mp3 file  
recording on CD-Rs prevent optimal playback of these files on your DVD player (i.e. degraded sound quality and  
even, in some cases, inability of the player to read the file).  
JPEG files  
CD-R and CD-RW with JPEG files. Certain JPEG files, including progressive JPEG files, cannot be read by this player.  
WMA files  
CD-R with WMA files.  
NTSC playback on 60Hz PALTV set  
In addition to the PAL DVDs andVCDs, you can enjoy your NTSC films as well (a 60 Hz PAL compatibleTV set is required).

socket.  
Notes:  
Depending on the video recorder or satellite or cable receiver, this type of connection may affect the quality  
of the pictures produced by the DVD player.
