Audio CD (8 cm / 12 cm disc) Music CDs or CD-Rs/CD-RWs in music CD format that can be purchased. CD-R/CD-RW (8 cm / 12 cm disc) CD-R/CD-RWs that contain audio titles, MP3, WMA, JPEG or DivX files. Note • Depending 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 recorder. • Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the labeled side or the recorded side) of a disc. • Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (for example, heart-shaped or octagonal). Doing so may result in malfunctions. • Depending on the recording software and the finalization, some recorded discs (CD-R/RW or DVD±R/RW) may not be playable. • DVD-R/RW, 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 recorder's lens. • If you record 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 the application software used to create the disc. (Check with the software publisher for more detailed information.) • Your recorder requires discs and recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files) and these require certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to ensure compatible playback. • You should note that permission is required in order to download MP3 or WMA files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner. Regional code Your recorder has a regional code printed on the back of the case. Your recorder can play only DVDs labeled with the same regional code or ALL. Note • Most DVDs have a globe with one or more numbers in it clearly visible on the cover. This number must match your recorder's regional code or the DVD cannot play. • If you try to play a DVD with a different regional code from the recorder, the message "Check Regional Code" appears on the TV screen. Restrictions on video recording • You cannot record copy-protected video using your recorder. Copy-protected video includes video DVDs and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-protected material is encountered during a recording, the recording pauses or stops automatically and an error message is displayed on-screen. • Video that is 'copy-once only' can only be recorded using a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with CPRM (see below). 4 www.insignia-products.com
