About the HD DVD
■ HD DVD is a new standard which makes use of new technologies. As
such, there is a possibility of problems occurring related to connection,
compatibility or operation with some discs and other digital devices. The
HD DVD-ROM logo signifies that this drive complies with the HD DVD
physical standard, and does not signify compliance with the HD DVD
Video standard. This device does not support advanced features of the
HD DVD Video standard as defined by the DVD Forum, including
picture-in-picture and network download features. Screen movement
may not be smooth, and performance may be lowered with some
HD DVD content.
■ Playback of high bit rate content may cause frame dropping, audio
skipping or decrease in computer performance.
■ Viewing of HD DVD content on an external display requires an HDCP
capable HDMI™ or DVI input on the external display.
■ Make sure to connect the computer's AC adaptor when playing an
HD DVD.
■ CPU power is concentrated on HD DVD playback when playing an
HD DVD, so make sure to exit all other applications.
■ Dolby Digital audio enhancements are only supported by Microsoft
®
Windows operating system. Content with high sample rates of 48 kHz
or more are downsampled when output through either the built-in
speakers or headphone jack.
■ This device supports AACS (Advanced Access Content System) next-
generation copy protection technology. Renewal of the AACS key
integrated into this device is required for uninterrupted enjoyment of
HD DVD. An Internet connection is required when renewing the key.
