Disc Formats
The DVD player is capable of playing the following types
of discs (12 cm or 8 cm diameter):
•DVD-Video discs (MPEG-2 video compression) (see
notes about DVD Region Codes)
•Audio Compact Discs (CDs)
•CD Data discs with MP3 and WMA compressed audio
format files
•Video CDs (MPEG-1 video compression)
DVD Region Codes
The DVD player and many DVD discs are coded by
geographic region. These region codes must match in
order for the disc to play. If the region code for the DVD
disc does not match the region code for the player, the
disc will stop playing and a warning will be displayed.
DVD Audio Support
When a DVD-Audio disc is inserted in the DVD player,
the DVD-Audio title on the disc is played by default
(most DVD-Audio discs also have a Video title, but the
Video title is ignored). All multi-channel program mate-
rial is automatically mixed down to two channels, which
may result in a lowered apparent volume level. If you
increase the volume level to account for this change in
level, remember to lower the volume before changing the
disc or to another mode.
Recorded Discs
The DVD player will play CD-R and CD-RW discs
recorded in CD-Audio or Video-CD format, or as a
CD-ROM containing MP3 or WMA files. The player will
also play DVD-Video content recorded to a DVD-R,
DVD-RW and DVD-ROM discs.
