condensation on the player’s lens.
 
y 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.)
 
y This player requires discs and recordings to 
meet certain technical standards in order to 
achieve optimal playback quality. 
 
y Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to

types of recordable disc formats (including 
CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files) and 
these require certain pre-existing conditions 
to ensure compatible playback.

Our company has no right to grant such 
permission. Permission should always be 
sought from the copyright owner.

to [Mastered] in order to make the discs 
compatible with the LG players when

the option to Live System, you cannot use 
it on LG player. (Mastered/Live File System : 
Disc format system for windows Vista)
