NTSC is used. This unit converts still picture

compressed to show it in its entirety, but this
may cause it to be stretched vertically.
∫ Playing DVDs and Video CDs
The producer of these discs can control how
they are played so you may not always be able
to control play as described in these operating
instructions (for example if the play time is not
displayed or if a Video CD has menus). Read
the disc’s instructions carefully.
Disc and Card information
Use discs with the above logos and that conform to specifications. The unit cannot play other discs
correctly.
Do not use irregularly shaped discs (e.g. heart-shaped), as these can damage the unit.
It may not be possible to play CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R and DVD-RAM in all cases due to the type of
disc or condition of the recording.
