NOTE: Playback of CD-R or CD-RW discs created on a computer requires proper formatting and finalization of the disc for audio playback. Some computers and/or software programs may not be capable of creating compatible discs.

•SVCD discs

•Kodak® Photo CD discs (Kodak Picture CD discs, which are available to con- sumers, contain files in the JPEG for- mat which may be viewed using the CVR700.)

NOTE: Due to differences in the format- ting of certain discs, it is possible that some discs may include features that are not compatible with the CVR700. Similarly, although the CVR700 is capable of a wide range of features, not all discs include every capability of the DVD sys- tem. For example, although the CVR700 is compatible with multi-angle discs, that feature is only possible when the disc is specially encoded for multiple-angle play. In addition, the CVR700 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 fea-

ture or soundtrack option is available, please check the options noted on the disc jacket.

•Playback capability for CD- or DVD- recordable discs may vary due to varia- tions in the quality of the disc and the recorder used to create the disc.

•The CVR700 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 CVR700’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 rang- ing between 32kbps and 320kbps. WMA files should be encoded at bit rates between 16kbps and 192kbps. JPEG files should contain no more than 5 megapixels, and the file size should be no larger than 5Mb.

Note on DVD-Audio Discs: Due to the newness of this format and some author- ing issues, it is possible that some DVD- Audio discs will not play, or that all fea- tures and menus may not be available. Note that in many cases, in order to access the disc menu, instead of pressing the Menu Button j 38 , it is neces- sary to press the Title Button yor the Audio Button U. In addition, many DVD-Audio discs provide two menus: a DVD-Audio menu and a DVD-Video menu intended for use on older players that do not support the DVD-Audio format. If you wish to view the DVD-Video menu and access surround modes and other fea- tures only available through that menu (such as Dolby Digital 5.1 or PCM audio tracks), you will need to temporarily dis- able the CVR700’s DVD-Audio capability using the DVD Setup menu (see Fig. 31).
