we cannot guarantee complete playback compatibility
of CD- or DVD-recordable discs due to the wide
variation in recorders and blank discs.

• The DVD 37 is compatible with most discs recorded
with files encoded using MP3 or Windows Media 9
(up to 320kbps), as well as JPEG still images,
including Kodak
®
Picture CDs. However, variations in
the encoder or codec used and the bit rate of the
encoding may affect the capability of the DVD 37 to
play a specific disc. As a result, we cannot guaran-
tee complete compatibility with all encoders and
codec versions.
• Most DVD-Audio discs also contain a copy of the
program material recorded in the standard Dolby
Digital, DTS, MPEG or linear PCM formats. The DVD
will play back those portions of the disc, regardless
of the format of the rest of the disc.
• Playback of CD-R/RW and DVD±R/RW discs
created on a computer requires proper formatting
and finalization of the disc before playback. Some
computers and/or software programs may not be
capable of creating compatible discs.
DVD-Video Disc Compatibility:
• 3" (8cm) or 5" (12cm) discs
• Single-sided or double-sided discs
• Single-layer or dual-layer discs
• Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG or Linear PCM digital

• Discs are generally divided into one or more titles,
which may be further subdivided into chapters.

file size up to 5Mb, limit of approximately 250 files
per disc).
• Linear PCM discs are generally divided into tracks
like an audio CD. MP3, WMA and JPEG discs (or
discs that contain more than one of these formats)
are divided into files, which may be organized into
folders, depending on how the disc was created.
VCD Compatibility

(MPEG-1, Layer 3) digital audio

NOTE:
Due to differences in the formatting of certain
discs, it is possible that some discs may include
features that are not compatible with the DVD 37.
Similarly, although the DVD 37 is capable of a wide
range of features, not all discs include every capability
of the DVD system. For example, although the DVD 37
is compatible with multi-angle discs, that feature is only
possible when the disc is specially encoded for multi-
ple-angle play. In addition, the DVD 37 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 of DTS audio discs requires connection to
a processor or receiver with a DTS decoder and the
correct setting of the Digital Output in the Audio
Submenu to “Bitstream” (see page 21).
• Playback capability for CD- or DVD-recordable discs
may vary due to variations in the quality of the disc
and the recorder used to create the disc.
• The DVD 37 is compatible with most discs recorded
with files encoded using MP3 or Windows Media 9
(up to 320kbps), 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 37’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
