Compliance and Compatibility Notice

NOT ALL discs are compatible

• Subject to the restrictions described below and those noted throughout this Manual, including the Disc Type and Characteristics section of this user manual, disc types that can be played are: pre-recorded commercial BD-ROM, DVD-VIDEO, and Audio CD (CD-DA) discs; BD-RE/-R, DVD-RW/-R discs; and CD-RW/-R discs.
• Discs other than those listed above cannot be and are not intended to be played by this player. Some of the discs listed above may not play due to one or more reasons provided below.
• Samsung cannot assure that this player will play every disc bearing the BD-ROM, BD-RE/-R, DVD-VIDEO, DVD-RW/-R, DVD+RW/+R and CD-RW/-R logos, and this player may not respond to all operating commands or operate all features of every disc. These and other disc compatibility and player operation issues with new and existing format discs are possible because:

Blu-ray is a new and evolving format and this player may not operate all features of Blu-
ray Discs because some features may be optional, additional features may have been

added to the Blu-ray Disc format after the production of this player, and certain available
features may be subject to delayed availability;

not all new and existing disc format versions are supported by this player;
new and existing disc formats may be revised, changed, updated, improved and/or supplemented;
some discs are produced in a manner that allows specific or limited operation or restricts features during playback;
some discs bearing the BD-ROM, BD-RE/-R, DVD-VIDEO, DVD-RW/-R, DVD+RW/+R and CD-RW/-R logos may still be non-standardized discs;
some discs may not be played depending on their physical state or recording conditions;
problems and errors can occur during the creation of Blu-ray Disc or DVD software and/or the manufacture of discs;
this player operates differently than a standard DVD player or other AV equipment; and/or
for reasons noted throughout this user manual and for other reason(s) discovered and posted by SAMSUNG customer care center.

• If you encounter disc compatibility or player operation problems, please contact SAMSUNG customer care center. You may also contact SAMSUNG customer care center for possible updates on this player.
• For additional information on playback restrictions and disc compatibility, refer to the Precautions, Before Reading the user manual, Disc Types and Characteristics, and Before Playing sections of this user manual.

• For Blu-ray Disc Player progressive scan output : CONSUMERS SHOULD NOTE THAT NOT ALL HIGH DEFINITION TELEVISION SETS ARE FULLY COMPATIBLE WITH THIS product AND MAY CAUSE ARTIFACTS TO BE DISPLAYED IN THE PICTURE. IN CASE OF PROGRESSIVE SCAN PICTURE PROBLEMS, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE USER SWITCH THE CONNECTION TO THE ‘STANDARD DEFINITION’ OUTPUT. IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS REGARDING OUR TV SET COMPATIBILITY WITH THIS product, PLEASE CONTACT OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER.

Copy Protection

• Because AACS (Advanced Access Content System) is approved as the content protection system for the Blu-ray Disc format, similar to use of CSS (Content Scramble System) for the DVD format, certain restrictions are imposed on playback, analog 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 the Blu-ray Disc 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 SAMSUNG customer care center.
• Many Blu-ray Disc/DVDs 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 Blu-ray Disc/DVDs.
• Under the U.S. Copyright laws and Copyright laws of other countries, unauthorized recording, use, display, distribution, or revision of television programs, videotapes, Blu-ray Discs, DVDs, and other materials may subject you to civil and/or criminal liability.
• Cinavia Notice : This product uses Cinavia technology to limit the use of unauthorized copies of some commercially-produced film and videos and their soundtracks.
