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 
player. Similarly, although the DVD player is capable 
of a wide range of features, not all discs include every 
capability of the DVD system. For example, although 
the DVD player 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 
player 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

 

■

, JPEG, MP3, 

DivX, 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 player is compatible with most discs 

 

■

recorded with files encoded using MP3 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 player'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. JPEG files should contain no more than 
5 megapixels, and the file size should be no larger 
than 5Mb.
