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.

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

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.
