It also supports DVD-R and DVD-RW discs recorded in DVD-Video format. However, some CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, and DVD-RW discs may not work properly for any of the following reasons: incomplete disc finalization, disc burner characteristics, disc character- istics, the disc is damaged or dirty. See the manual supplied with your disc burner for more information. Condensation or dirt on the optical pickup lens can also affect playback.

•The DPC-7.4 does not support disc types not listed.

•The DPC-7.4 supports 8 cm and 12 cm discs.

•Don’t use discs with an unusual shape, such as those shown below, because you may damage the DPC-7.4.

Unsupported DVD Features

The DVD standard offers many special features,

including multiple soundtracks, subtitles, camera angles, and so on. However, not all discs employ all of

these features. When you attempt to use a feature that is not used by the current disc, for example, you press the remote control- ler’s [AUDIO] button while playing a disc with only one soundtrack, this icon will appear onscreen, indicating that the feature is not supported by the current disc.

Similarly, if a disc uses features that are not supported by the DPC-7.4, for example, special interactive menu functions, this icon will appear onscreen, indicating that the feature is not supported by the DPC-7.4.
