NOTE: Due to differences in the format of certain discs, it is possi- ble that some discs may include a mix of features that are not com- patible 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 multipleangle play. In addition, the DVD 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 capability for CD-R, CD-RW, WMA, JPEG, MP3, DivX, VCD/SVCD, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs may vary due to variations in the quality of the disc and the recorder used to create the disc.

The CS3/CS5 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 CS’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 recommend that MP3 files be encoded at bit rates ranging between 32kbps and 320kbps. WMA files should be encoded at bit rates between 64kbps and 320kbps. Although the CS system is capable of playing some WMA 9 files, not all features of version 9 are supported. 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 functionality of the JBL CS system is fully upgradeable. In the event of future improvements to its operations and features, it will be possible to download firmware upgrades from www.jbl.com. All you have to do is create a CD-R with the data and insert it in the DVD for an automatic upgrade.
