Notes on Copyrights
•  Because AACS (Advanced Access Content System) 
is approved as content protection system for BD 
format, similar to use of CSS (Content Scramble 
System) for DVD format, certain restrictions are 
imposed on playback, analogue signal output, 
etc., of AACS protected contents. The operation of 
this product and restrictions on this product may 
vary depending on your time of purchase as those 
restrictions may be adopted and/or changed by 
AACS after the production of this product.
•  Furthermore, BD-ROM Mark and BD+ are 
additionally used as content protection systems 
for BD format, which imposes certain restrictions 
including playback restrictions for BD-ROM 
Mark and/or BD+ protected contents. To obtain 
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 
VCR. Connecting to a VCR results in a distorted 
picture from copy-protected discs.
•  This product incorporates copyright protection 
technology that is protected by U.S. patents 
and other intellectual property rights. Use of 
this copyright protection technology must be 
authorized by Rovi, and is intended for home and 
other limited viewing uses only unless otherwise 
authorized by Rovi. Reverse engineering or 
disassembly is prohibited.
•  Under the U.S. Copyright laws and Copyright 
laws of other countries, unauthorized recording,

programmes, videotapes, BD-ROM discs, DVDs, 
CDs and other materials may subject you to civil 
and/or criminal liability.Important Notice for TV colour system
The colour system of this player diff ers according to 
currently playing discs.
For example, when the player plays the disc recorded 
in the NTSC colour system, the image is output as an 
NTSC signal.
Only the multi system colour TV can receive all 
signals output from the player.
•  If you have a PAL colour system TV, you will see 
just distorted images when using discs or video 
contents recorded in NTSC.
•  The multi system colour TV changes the colour 
system automatically according to input signals. 
In case that the colour system is not changed 
automatically, turn it off   and then on to see 
normal images on screen.
•  Even if the disc recorded in NTSC colour system 
are well displayed on your TV, these may not be 
recorded correctly on your recorder.
