Depending on the types or the writing method of the medium, some discs can not be played.
• Some DVD-R or CD-R/RW discs made on personal computers, or on DVD recorders may not be played back properly due
to factors such as scratches, dirt or special properties of the disc.
• Discs made on personal computers may not be played back properly due to different environments or the settings of the
application you use. We recommend always to use the standardized, properly formatted discs. (Please contact your Hitachi
dealer for more detail).
• Some discs include region codes as shown below.
• The number inside the symbol refers to a region of the world, and a disc encoded in a specific region format can only be
played back on DVD/VCR with the same region code.
