yy Depending on the recording software & the
   finalization, some recorded discs (CD-R/RW,        Regional code
   DVD±R/RW, BD-R/RE) may not be playable.            This unit has a regional code printed on the unit.
yy BD-R/RE, DVD±R/RW and CD-R/RW discs                This unit can play only BD-ROM or DVD discs

   DVD or CD Recorder may not play if the
   disc is damaged or dirty, or if there is dirt or
   condensation on the player’s lens.
yy 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.)
yy This player requires discs and recordings to
   meet certain technical standards in order to
   achieve optimal playback quality.
yy 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.
yy Customers should note that permission
   is required in order to download MP3 /
   WMA files and audio from the Internet.
   Our company has no right to grant such
   permission. Permission should always be
   sought from the copyright owner.
yy You have to set the disc format option
   to [Mastered] in order to make the discs
   compatible with the LG players when
   formatting rewritable discs. When setting
   the option to Live System, you cannot use

                      The position of the subwoofer is not so critical,
                      because low bass sounds are not highly directional.
                      But it is better to place the subwoofer near the
                      front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of
                      the room to reduce the wall reflections.
