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 sound-
tracks, 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 47 is compatible with most discs

recorded with files encoded using MP3 or
Windows Media 8, 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 47’s ability to
play back a specific disc. As a result, we can-
not 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 47 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.

■ SACD discs are available in SACD-only and

hybrid formats. Hybrid discs contain a conven-
tional CD-DA (red book) layer, in addition to
the high-density SACD layer, that enables the
disc to be backwards compatible with con-
ventional optical disc players. The DVD 47 is
capable of playing both types of SACD discs.
When a hybrid disc is loaded, the DVD 47 will
default to playing the SACD layer.

■ SACD discs are also available in either two-

channel or multichannel formats. The DVD 47
will play either format correctly, with multi-
channel materials being outputted through
the 6-Channel Outputs

.

The DVD 47 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

• SVCD discs

• Kodak Photo CD

™

discs (Kodak Picture CD

discs, available to consumers, may be viewed
using the DVD 47).

• Discs intended for use in video game consoles

• Discs recorded in the “VR” mode or at any

speed other than “SP”

• High-definition optical discs such as WMVHD,

HD-DVD and Blu-ray

The ”firmware” controlling the functionality of
the Harman Kardon DVD is fully upgradeable. In
the event of future improvements to its
operations and features, it will be possible to
download firmware upgrades from 
www.harmankardon.com/International/
All you have to do is create a CD-R with the
data and insert it in the DVD for an automatic
upgrade.
