Notes on JPEG Recordings  
Depending upon the size and number of the JPEG files, it  
could take a long time for the DVD+VCR to read the  
disc’s contents. If you don’t see an on-screen display after  
several minutes, some of the files are too big — reduce  
the resolution of the JPEG files to less than 2M pixels as  
2760x2048 pixels and burn another disc.  
On a disc with MP3 and JPEG you can switch MP3 and  
JPEG. Press TITLE and MUSIC or PHOTO word on top  
of the menu is highlighted.  
Press RETURN, information of file is hidden.  
Total number of files and folders on the disc should be less  
than 650.  
Some disc may be incompatible due to different recording  
format or condition of disc.  
Ensure that all the selected files have the “.jpg” extensions  
when copying into the CD layout.  
If the files have “.jpe” or “.jpeg” extensions, please rename  
them as “.jpg” files.  
File names without “.jpg” extension will not be able to be  
read by this DVD+VCR. Even though the files are shown

Notes  
Unfinalized DVD-R/RW discs cannot be played in this  
player.  
Some DVD-VR disc are made with CPRM data by DVD  
RECORDER. Player doesn not support these kind of discs.  
Maintaining the Unit  
The DVD player is a high-tech, precision device. If the  
optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn,  
the picture quality could be diminished.  
Depending on the operating environment, regular  
inspection and maintenance are recommended after every  
1,000 hours of use.  
What is ‘CPRM’?  
CPRM is a copy protection system (with scramble system)  
only allowing the recording of ‘copy once’ broadcast  
programs. CPRM stands for Content Protection for  
Recordable Media.  
This player is CPRM compatible, which means that you  
can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you cannot  
then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings  
can only be made on DVD-RW discs formatted inVR  
mode, and CPRM recordings can only be played on players  
that are specifically compatible with CPRM.  
For details, please contact your nearest authorized service  
center.
