Blu-ray Disc Compatibility

Blu-ray Disc is a new and evolving format. Accordingly, disc compatibility issues are possible. Not all
discs are compatible and not every disc will play back. For additional information, refer to the
Compliance and Compatibility Notice section of this Manual. If you encounter compatibility problems,
please contact the SAMSUNG customer care center.
