5Introduction IntroductionENGLISHENGLISHThe following discs will not play back on this unit. BD and DVD are recorded in different color systems throughoutthe world. The most common color system is NTSC (which is usedprimarily in the United States and Canada).This unit uses NTSC, so BD or DVD you play back must be recordedin the NTSC system. You cannot play back BD or DVD recorded inother color systems.This unit has been designed to play back BD withregion A and DVD-video with region 1. You cannotplay back BD or DVD-video that are labeled for otherregions. Look for the symbols on the right on your BDor DVD-video. If these region symbols do not appearon your BD or DVD-video, you cannot play back thedisc in this unit. The letter or number inside theglobe refers to region of the world.

Titlesmay be further subdivided into chapters.To specify for which media type each function is, we put thefollowing symbols at the beginning of each item to operate.If you do not find any of the symbols listed above under thefunction heading, the operation is applicable to all media.Unplayable Discs• BD-RE Ver.1.0 (BD-disc with cartridge)• BD-R Ver.1.2 (HTL 4x or LTH 2x)• BD-RE/-R recorded in BDAV format• BD contains MP3/ Windows Media™ Audio/ JPEG/ DivX® files• BD/DVD hybrid disc (e.g., Total Hi Def hybrid disc)• BD-video that does not include "A" on its region code.• DVD-video that does not include either "1" nor "ALL" on itsregion code.• DVD-ROM/RAM (For DVD-ROM discs, data files in DivX® 3.11, 4.x,5.x and 6 can be played)• DVD-RW/-R recorded in non-compatible recording format• CD-ROM (Data files in DivX® 3.11, 4.x, 5.x and 6 can be played)• CDV (Only the audio part can be played)• CD-G (Only the audio signals can be output)• CompactDisc-Interactive (CD-I)• Video Single Disc (VSD)• Video CD, Super Video CD• Super audio CD (Only the sound on the CD layer can be heard.
