“Memory Stick” is a new generation of
small, light, high-capacity removable
storage media.
There are two types of “Memory Stick”:
the ordinary “Memory Stick” and
“MagicGate* Memory Stick”.
You can use both types with the CRXP-
90MU. However, because the CRXP-
90MU does not support the MagicGate
standards, data recorded with the
CRXP-90MU is not subject to MagicGate
copyright protection.

* MagicGate is a coding method that allows copyright

protection.

• When attaching a label to “Memory Stick”, only use

“Memory Stick” labels. Do not use other types of
labels.

• When storing or carrying “Memory Stick”, keep it in

its original case.

• Avoid touching the connector or making it come in

contact with metallic objects.

• Do not drop, bend, or submit “Memory Stick” to

external shock.

• Do not disassemble or modify “Memory Stick”.
• Avoid dropping liquids on “Memory Stick”.

With the CRXP-90MU, the region code can
be set up to five times, including the initial
assignment (RPC Phase 2 standard). The
CRXP-90MU region code is set by the
DVD-VIDEO playback software.

After setting the region code five times (including the
initial setting), the setting becomes permanent and
cannot be changed. Thereafter, you will only be able to
play DVD-VIDEOs whose region code matches that set
the fifth time.

Do not attempt to make unauthorized changes to the
region code. Any problems that result from doing so
will not be covered by the warranty.

The playback conditions for DVD-VIDEOs
are sometimes determined by software
makers. Since the CRXP-90MU plays back
discs as determined by the software
manufacturer, some drive functions may not
always work as expected. When playing
back DVD-VIDEOs, refer to the instructions
accompanying each disc.

You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this manual
could void your authority to operate this equipment.
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.
To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

As the laser beam in this CRXP-90MU is harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble
the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard.
The use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
