or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the
appliance, and have the cord replaced with an
exact replacement part by an authorized service
center. Protect the power cord from physical or
mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked,
pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay par-
ticular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point
where the cord exits the appliance. To disconnect
power from the mains, pull out the mains cord plug.
When installing the product, ensure that the plug is
easily accessible.

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 unit.

Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the labeled side or the
recorded side) of a disc.

Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (e.g., heart-shaped or octagonal).
Doing so may result in malfunctions.

Depending on the recording software & the finalization, some recorded
discs (CD-R/RW or DVD±R/RW) may not be playable.

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 player’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.)

This player requires discs and recordings to meet certain technical stan-
dards 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 containing MP3 or WMA
files) and these require certain pre-existing conditions to ensure compat-
ible playback.

Customers should note that permission is required in order to download
MP3 / 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.

You have to set the disc format option to [Mastered] in order to make the
discs compatible with the LG players when formatting rewritable discs.
When setting the option to Live System, you cannot use it on LG player.

BD-ROM Disc Features
BD-ROM Discs can store 25 GB (single layer) or 50 GB (dual layer) on a
single sided disc - about 5 to 10 times the capacity of a DVD.
BD-ROM Discs also support the highest quality HD video available in the
industry (up to 1920 x 1080) - Large capacity means no compromise on
video quality. Furthermore, a BD-ROM disc has the same familiar size and
look as DVD.

The following BD-ROM disc features are disc dependent and will vary.

Appearance and navigation of features will also vary from disc to disc.

Not all discs will have the features described below.


BD-ROM, Hybrid disc have both BD-ROM and DVD (or CD) layers on one
side. On such discs, BD-ROM layer will be only played back in this player.
Video highlights
The BD-ROM format for movie distribution supports three highly advanced
video codecs, including MPEG-2, MPEG4 AVC (H.264), and SMPTE VC1.
HD video resolutions are also available:

1920 x 1080 HD

1280 x 720 HD
Graphic planes
Two individual, full HD resolution (1920x1080) graphic planes (layers) are
available, on top of the HD video layer. One plane is assigned to video-
related, frame accurate graphics (like subtitles), and the other plane is

while the audio and video remain playing in the background.
