Copying copyrighted material • You should only use recording equipment for lawful copying. Make sure that you follow legal guidelines in your area. Copying of copyrighted material, such as films or music, is unlawful unless permitted by a legal exception or consented to by the rights owner. • 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 viewing uses only, unless otherwise authorized by Macrovision corporation. Reverse engineering or disassembly is prohibited. Notes • 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 DVD/VCR. • 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 discs 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. Notes • 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. Using progressive scan Consumers should note that not all high definition televisions are fully compatible with this product and may cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture. In case of progressive scan picture problems, we recommend that you switch the connection to the standard definition output.
