NOTE : Due to differences in the format of certain
discs, it is possible that some discs may include a mix
of features that are not compatible with the DVD.
similarly, although the DVD is capable of a wide range
of features, not all discs include every capability of
the DVD system. for example, although the DVD is
compatible with multi-angle discs, that feature is
only possible when the disc is specially encoded for
multi pleangle play. In addition, the DVD is capable of
playing back both Dolby Digital and DTs soundtracks,
but the number and types of tracks available will vary
from disc to disc. To make certain that a specific feature
or soundtrack option is available, please check the
options noted on the disc jacket.
Playback capability for CD-R, CD-RW, WMA, JPEG,
■
MP3, DivX, VCD/sVCD, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW
and DVD+RW discs may vary due to variations
in the quality of the disc and the recorder used to
create the disc.
The DVD is compatible with most discs recorded ■
with files encoded using MP3 or Windows Media
9, as well as JPEG still images. However, note
that variations in the encoder or codec used and
the bit rate of the encoding may affect the DVD’s
ability to play back a specific disc. As a result, we
cannot guarantee complete compatibility with
all encoders and versions of the codecs. for best
results, we recommend that MP3 files be encoded
at bit rates ranging between 32kbps and 320kbps.
WMA files should be encoded at bit rates between
64kbps and 320kbps. Although the DVD is capable
of playing some WMA 9 files, not all features of
version 9 are supported. JPEG files should contain
no more than 5 megapixels, and the file size
should be no larger than 5Mb.
The DVD will NOT play the following:
DVD discs with a Region Code other than 2
•
DVD-RoM data discs
•
DVD-RAM discs •
CD-I discs •
CD-G discs
•

available to consumers, may be viewed using the
