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 multiple-
angle play. In addition, the DVD is capable of
playing back both Dolby Digital and DTS sound-
tracks, but the number and types of tracks avail-
able 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,VCD/SVCD, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-
RW and DVD+RW discs may vary due to vari-
ations in the quality of the disc and the
recorder used to create the disc.
