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, 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 pro-
tection 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.
