§1Some DVD-Audio discs contain DVD-Video content. To play DVD-Video content, select “Play as DVD-Video” (➜ page 19, Other Menu).

§2This unit is compatible with HDCD (➜ page 27, Glossary), but does not support the Peak Extend function (a function which expands the dynamic range of high level signals). (During HDCD play, “HDCD” lights on the unit’s display.)

Regarding DVD-Audio

Some multi-channel DVD-Audio will prevent down-mixing (➜ page 27, Glossary) of all or part of their contents if this is the manufacturer’s intention. When playing such discs, or such parts of the disc, unless the number of connected speakers is the same as the disc’s channel specification, audio will not be output properly (e.g. part of the audio is missing, multi-channel audio cannot be selected and audio is played in two channels). Refer to the disc’s jacket for more information.
