the output can be switched to 1080p, 1080i or 720p HD
video.

the HDMI logo (as shown on the cover).

Media Care
RAM Use cartridges to protect them from scratches and dirt.
Holding a disc or card
Handle discs by the edges to avoid inadvertently scratching or getting
oil from your fingers on the disc. Do not touch the signal surface of
discs (the shiny side) or the terminal surface (the metal part) of SD
cards.
Cleaning discs
Discs are not indestructible and occasionally dirt or condensation
may appear. Clean by gently wiping with a soft, dry lint-free cloth in a
straight line from the center of the disc to the edge of the disc.
Return discs to their cases and SD cards to their cartridges when not
in use; this helps to protect against scratches and dirt.
Storing media
Do not place or store discs and cards in the following locations:
Direct sunlight
Very dusty or humid areas
Near a heat source
Places that undergo extreme shifts in temperature (condensation
can occur)
Where static electricity or electromagnetic waves occur
Keep the Memory Card out of reach of children to prevent
swallowing.
Discs to avoid
Discs that are not perfectly circular in shape
Warped discs, which may not balance properly in your unit, causing
improper operation or damage to the unit
Cracked discs
Discs with exposed adhesive (from removed stickers or labels, such
as may occur with rental discs or improperly cared-for discs that
were previously labeled or re-labeled)
