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 multi- pleangle play. In addition, the DVD is capable of playing back both Dolby Digital and DTS sound- tracks, 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 DVD 28 is compatible with most discs recorded with files encoded using MP3 or Windows Media 8, 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 DVD 28’s ability to play back a specific disc. As a result, we can- not 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 DVD 28 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.

The DVD 28 will NOT play the following:

•DVD discs with a Region Code other than 2

•DVD-ROM data discs

•DVD-RAM discs

•CD-I discs

•CD-G discs

•SVCD discs

•Kodak Photo CD™ discs (Kodak Picture CD discs, available to consumers, may be viewed using the DVD 28).

•Discs intended for use in video game consoles

•Discs recorded in the “VR” mode or at any speed other than “SP”

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