JBL DVD280 Packing List, Audio CD Compatibility, CD-R/RW Compatibility, VCD/SVCD Compatibility

Audio CD Compatibility

•8cm (3") or 12cm (5") discs

•Linear PCM digital audio

•Audio CDs are divided into tracks

CD-R/RW Compatibility

•12cm (5") discs

•Linear PCM, MP3 (32kbps – 320kbps) or Windows Media® WMA (16kbps – 192kbps) digital audio

•May contain JPEG still images (up to 5 megapixels, file size up to 5Mb)

•Linear PCM discs are generally divided into tracks like an audio CD. MP3, WMA and JPEG discs (or discs that contain more than one of these formats) are divided into files, which may be organized into folders, depending on how the disc was created.

VCD/SVCD Compatibility

•12cm (5") discs

•Linear PCM, MP1 (MPEG-1, Layer 1), MP3 (MPEG-1, Layer 3) digital audio

•MPEG-1 digital video

•May contain JPEG still images (Video CD Version 2.0).

•Some discs may contain menus and chapters, while other discs simply contain tracks. Version 2.0 discs may offer interactive playback control (PBC).

However, the DVD280 will NOT play the following:

•DVD-Audio discs, unless the disc contains Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG or Linear PCM digital audio tracks

•DVD-Video discs with a Region Code other than that indicated on the rear panel

•DVD-ROM data discs

•DVD-RAM discs

•CD-I discs

•CD-G discs

•Kodak® Photo CD discs

NOTE: Due to differences in the for- matting of certain discs, it is possible that some discs may include features that are not compatible with the DVD280. Similarly, although the DVD280 is capable of a wide range of features, not all discs include every capability of the DVD system. For example, although the DVD280 is compatible with multi-angle discs, that feature is only possible when the disc is specially encoded for multiple- angle play. In addition, the DVD280 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 and the correct setting of the Digital Output Format in the Audio Sub- menu to “Original” (see page 25).

•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.

•The DVD280 is compatible with most discs recorded with files encoded using MP3 or Windows Media 9, 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 DVD280’s ability to play back a specific disc. As a result, we cannot guarantee complete compatibility with all encoders and versions of the codecs. For best results, we recom- mend that MP3 files be encoded at bit rates ranging between 32kbps and 320kbps. WMA files should be encoded at bit rates between 16kbps and 192kbps. JPEG files should contain no more than 5 megapixels, and the file size should be no larger than 5Mb.

Upgradeability via Internet

The “firmware” controlling the func- tionality of the JBL DVD280 is fully upgradeable. In the event of future improvements to its operations and features, it will be possible to down- load firmware upgrades from www.jbl.com. Simply copy the down- loaded file onto a CD-R, and insert it into the DVD280 for an automatic upgrade.
