•The DVD 47 is compatible with most discs recorded with files encoded using MP3 or Windows Media 9 (up to 320kbps), as well as JPEG still images, including Kodak® Picture CDs. However, variations in the encoder or codec used and the bit rate of the encoding may affect the capability of the DVD 47 to play a specific disc. As a result, we cannot guaran- tee complete compatibility with all encoders and codec versions.

•Most DVD-Audio discs also contain a copy of the program material recorded in the standard Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG or linear PCM formats. The DVD will play back those portions of the disc, regardless of the format of the rest of the disc.

•SACD discs are available in SACD-only and hybrid formats. Hybrid discs contain a conventional CD-DA (red book) layer, in addition to the high-density SACD layer, that enables the disc to be backwards compatible with conventional optical disc players. The DVD 47 is capable of playing both types of SACD discs. When a hybrid disc is loaded, the DVD 47 will default to playing the SACD layer.

•SACD discs are also available in either two-channel or multichannel formats. The DVD 47 will play either

format correctly, with multichannel materials being

outputted through the 6-Channel Outputs

.

•Playback of CD-R/RW and DVD±R/RW discs creat- ed on a computer requires proper formatting and finalization of the disc before playback. Some com- puters and/or software programs may not be capa- ble of creating compatible discs.

•High-definition optical discs such as WMVHD, HD-DVD and Blu-ray

NOTE: Due to differences in the formatting of certain discs, it is possible that some discs may include features that are not compatible with the DVD 47. Similarly, although the DVD 47 is capable of a wide range of features, not all discs include every capability of the DVD system. For example, although the DVD 47 is compatible with multi-angle discs, that feature is only possible when the disc is specially encoded for multi- ple-angle play. In addition, the DVD 47 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 in the Audio Submenu to “Bitstream” (see page 21).

•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 DVD 47 is compatible with most discs recorded with files encoded using MP3 or Windows Media 9 (up to 320kbps), as well as JPEG still images.
