Important notes about HD DVD
HD DVD with high-definition content required for HD viewing. Viewing high-definition content and up- converting DVD content may require an HDCP capable DVI or HDMI input on your display device. Up- conversion of DVD content will result in near HD picture quality. Firmware update may be required for some interactive features depending on content, which may also require an always-on broadband internet connection. Some features may require additional bandwidth. Some recordable media may not be supported. Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD and DTS support for up to 5.1 channels (DTS HD support for DTS core only) MP3/WMA audio files not supported. HDMI audio support for PCM only. Because HD DVD is a new format that makes use of new technologies, certain disc, digital connection and other compatibility and/or performance issues are possible. This may, in rare cases, include disc freezing while accessing certain disc features or functions, or certain parts of the disc not playing back or operating as fully intended. Some features subject to delayed availability.
