DVDR/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 players 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 standards 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 compatible playback.

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 For High-Definition Playback To view high-definition contents from BD-ROM discs, an HDTV is required. Some discs may require HDMI OUT for viewing of high-definition contents. Ability to view high-definition contents in BD-ROM discs may be limited depending on the resolution of your TV. 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 videorelated, frame accurate graphics (like subtitles), and the other plane is assigned to interactive graphic elements, such as buttons or menus. For both planes, various wipes, fades and scroll effects may be available.

Menu sounds When you highlight or select a menu option, sounds can be heard such as button clicks or a voice-over explaining the highlighted menu choice. Multi-page/PopUp Menus With DVD-Video, playback is interrupted each time a new menu screen is accessed. Due to BD-ROM discs ability to preload data from the disc without interrupting playback, a menu can consist of several pages. You can browse through the menu pages or select different menu paths, while the audio and video remain playing in the background. Interactivity Certain BD-ROM Discs may contain animated menus and/or trivia games. User Browsable Slideshows With BD-ROM Discs, you can browse through various still pictures while the audio remains playing. Subtitles Depending on what is contained on the BD-ROM disc, you may be able to select different font styles, sizes and colors for some subtitles. Subtitles may also be animated, scrolled or faded in and out. BD-J Interactive Capability The BD-ROM format supports Java for interactive functions. BD-J offers content providers almost unlimited functionality when creating interactive BD-ROM titles.
