imposed on playback, analogue signal output, 
etc., of AACS protected contents. The operation of

additional information on AACS, BD-ROM Mark, 
BD+, or this product, please contact an authorized 
Customer Service Centre.
•  Many BD-ROM/DVD discs are encoded with 
copy protection. Because of this, you should only 
connect your player directly to your TV, not to a
