be switched on and off by the DVD disc itself, in order to make any recording of the relevant DVD disc onto a videotape of very poor picture quality, or even impossible.

Private copies of your own material for your own use may be legal in some countries. 15 Playback of mp3, WMA, JPEG and DivX files To rent (purchase) DivX®VOD files DivX VOD files are similar to DVD video rental discs. The difference lies in the access to the media. DivX VOD files are downloaded after paying a rental from certain commercial web sites. Prior to downloading a VOD you need to input the registration number of your DVD player on the purchase form of the site. EN Follow the instructions below to find the registration number of your player: 1. In the Play Mode menu, select DivX. The registration number is displayed on the screen of the television set. 3. Write down this VOD 8-character registration number in order to fill in the form on the web site you purchase your DivX VOD files from. Note: If you cannot play a DivX VOD file recorded on a CD-R disc after downloading it, the rental period allocated during purchasing from the web site may have expired. It may also be that the recorded file is not compatible with your player because of different versions or incorrect download parameters. The parameters used during the copying to CD-R may also be a cause. Since it is not possible here to supply all the information, parameters and advice relating to the use of DivX VOD files, we recommend that you visit specialised web sites such as www. divx. com/vod. 16 Player Menus Using the player menus The player's main menu is displayed when there is no disc in the player or when the disc has been interrupted during playback by pressing the STOP button.
