Super Video CD (SVCD) discs
SVCD (Super Video Compact Disc) discs comply with standard IEC62107, making it possible to
record up to 70 minutes of digital images and sound at standard MPEG-2 for video and MPEG-1
for audio.Compatibility of SVCD discs depends on the MPEG coding software, the disc design
software, as well as the recording software used and the discs themselves.
Important: Despite considerable progress made in providing compatibility with as many different discs as
possible, reading of discs not conforming to Audio CD,Video CD and Super Video CD (S-VCD) disc standards
cannot be guaranteed.
DVD-R and DVD-RW discs
Your player can play DVD-R and DVD+R (single recording) and DVD-RW and DVD+RW
(re-recordable) discs.Recordings on DVD-RW discs must be made in DVD Video mode.
Recordings on DVD+RW discs must be made in accordance with the specifications for the 4.7 Gb
capacity DVD+RW disc format.Compatibility is dependent on which DVD writer, writer software
and disks are used.
DivX discs
DivX is a compression format answering the MPEG-4 standard and that allows an entire film to
be contained on a single CD.
The compatibility of DivX formats depends on MPEG-4 coding software, disc design software and
the recording software employed,as well as the discs themselves.
What codecs can your player read?
• Playback of DivX 3.11 content.
• Playback of DivX 4 Content (Based on MPEG-4 Simple Profile)
• Playback of DivX 5 Content (MPEG-4 simple profile plus additional features such as bi-
directional frames.Qpel and GMC are not supported).
• Resolutions up to 720 x 480 at 30fps and 720 x 576 at 25fps are supported.
• Macroblocks per second 40500.
• Maximum average bitrate 4000 kbps
• Maximum peak bitrate during any 3 seconds of video 10000 kbps
• Minimum VBV buffer size (kbytes) 384k bytes
Note: for DivX 3.11 content at Home Theater Profile, the required average bitrate is 1000 kbps, and the
required maximum peak bitrate is 4000 kbps. Mpeg4 and Xvid content may or may not play back
depending on the exact recording method and codec used.
Audio DVD discs
Audio DVD is a new digital recording format for audio discs.This format is based on the success
of Video DVDs containing 5.1 multichannel sound.
Audio DVD therefore gives you new sound sensations by spreading the sound over 6 loudspeakers
(6 x 96 KHz/24 bits analogue channels). If possible, therefore, you should connect the player to a
5.1 amplifier using the 6 channels (marked (5) on page 6) as this gives the best 5.1 sound quality.
Connecting the player in this way is also recommended for Video DVDs.
Many Audio DVDs contain video,in the form of information (bibliographies,titles list, etc.), video
clips, photos,etc.
Audio DVDs contain large amounts of varied information.The way in which this information is
presented varies from one disc to another.With some Audio DVDs, you can display the images
contained on the disc, one at a time, using the info banner’s Browser (Browse) icon.
Note : in accordance with the DVD standard and the protection of copyright,the quality of the Audio signals
available through the digital output connections (marked (6) on page 6) is limited, to match that of Audio
CDs (48 KHz/16 bits).
Hidden information is sometimes contained on a disc.To see this information, you must first enter a
password, which is generally shown on the disc’s cover or on the disc itself.This password is only linked to the
disc; it is unrelated to your player.The disc’s password can sometimes be found on the publisher’s Web site.
