Disc Formats Supported by This Player
The unit can play the following types of discs:
DVD CD

5" (12cm) disc 5" (12cm) disc
The DVD 101 will also play most discs recorded in the
DVD-RW or DVD+RW formats, but we cannot guaran-
tee complete playback compatibility of DVD-recordable
discs due to the wide variation in recorders and blank
discs.

5" (12cm) disc 5" (12cm) disc
NOTE: Playback of CD-R or CD-RW discs created on
a computer requires proper formatting and finalization
of the disc for audio playback. Some computers
and/or software programs may not be capable of
creating compatible discs.
However, it will NOT play the following:
• DVD discs with a Region Code other than 1
• DVD discs with PAL format video
• DVD-ROM data discs
• DVD-RAM discs
• CD-I discs
• CD-G discs
• SVCD discs
• Photo CD discs
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 101.
Similarly, although the DVD 101 is capable of a wide
range of features, not all discs include every capability
of the DVD system. For example, although the DVD 101
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 101 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.
• 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.
