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.

Upgradeability via Internet

The ”firmware” controlling the functionality of the Harman Kardon DVD is fully upgradeable. In the event of future improvements to its operations and features, it will be possible to download firmware upgrades from www.harmankardon.com/International/

All you have to do is create a CD-R with the data and insert it in the DVD for an automatic upgrade.
