It may be necessary to finalize the disc on the 
equipment used for recording.

Regarding DVD-Audio
Some multi-channel DVD-Audio will prevent down-mixing (

of all or part of their contents if this is the manufacturer’s 
intention. Tracks that are prevented from being down-mixed will 
not play properly on this unit (e.g. audio is played from the front 
two channels only). Refer to the disc’s jacket for more 
information.

Region numbers are allocated to DVD players and DVD-Video 
according to where they are sold.

≥The region number of this unit is “1”.
≥The unit will play DVDs marked with labels containing “1” or 

“ALL”.

∫  Discs that cannot be played

∫  Concerning logo marks

This is a method of coding digital signals 
developed by Dolby Laboratories. Not only stereo 
(2 channel) audio, these signals can also be multi-
channel audio. A large amount of audio 
information can be recorded on one disc by this 
method.

This surround system is used in many movie 
theaters around the world. The separation 
between channels is good and the compression 
ratio is low, so realistic sound effects are possible.

The manufacturer accepts no responsibility and offers no compensation for loss of recorded or edited material due to a problem 
with the unit or recordable media, and accepts no responsibility and offers no compensation for any subsequent damage caused 
by such loss.
Examples of causes of such losses are
≥A disc recorded and edited with this unit is played in a DVD Recorder or computer disc drive manufactured by another company.
≥A disc used as described above and then played again in this unit.
≥A disc recorded and edited with a DVD Recorder or computer disc drive manufactured by another company is played in this unit.
