Example:
∫ Playing DVDs and Video CDs
The producer of the material can control how
these discs are played. This means that you may
not be able to control play of a disc with some op-
erations described in these operating instruc-
tions. Read the disc’s instructions carefully.
∫ How the picture appears on the LCD
The picture shown on the LCD depends on the
display mode and the aspect ratio recorded on
the disc (➡ page 21).
∫ Copy Protection
Some DVD discs contain copy protection signals
which can affect the video signal if the output of
the player is fed through a VCR to the TV. The
picture may become unstable or the picture con-
trast may change drastically. It is therefore very
important to connect this unit according to the di-
agram in these Operating Instructions.
