Introduction
Playback of HD DVD video discs
HD DVD video discs are high-density, high-capacity
discs.
7 The HD DVD disc standard has been approved
by the DVD forum.
7 HD DVD (single layer): 15 GB
HD DVD (dual layer): Maximum capacity of 30 GB
A single layer single sided disc (15 GB) has
capacity of about 8 hours in 1125 line high
defi nition picture; about 48 hours in 525 line
standard defi nition picture (depending on bitrate
of pre-recorded contents).
*1GB means 1,000,000,000 bytes.
7 HD DVD Twin Format Discs have both HD DVD
and DVD layers on one side. HD DVD Combination
DVD Discs have HD DVD material on one side and
standard DVD material on the other side. Because
both disc types are new, such discs may not
operate properly in this player.
7To view high-defi nition picture in HD DVD discs,
a 50/60 Hz compatible HDTV display (720p, 1080i,
1080p) is required.

disc features or functions, or certain parts of the
disc not playing back or operating as fully intended.
