NOTE: Due to differences in the format of
certain discs, it is possible that some discs may
include a mix of features that are not compatible
with the player. Similarly, although the player is
capable of a wide range of features, not all discs
include every capability of the DVD system. For
example, although the player is compatible with
multi-angle discs, that feature is only possible
when the disc is specially encoded for multi -
pleangle play. In addition, the player is capable
of playing back both Dolby Digital and DTS
soundtracks, but the number and types of tracks
available will vary from disc to disc. To make
certain that a specific feature or soundtrack
option is available, please check the options
noted on the disc jacket.
■ Playback capability for CD-R, CD-RW, WMA,
JPEG, MP3, DivX, VCD/SVCD, DVD-R, DVD+R,
DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs may vary due to
variations in the quality of the disc and the
recorder used to create the disc.
■ The player is compatible with most discs
recorded with files encoded using MP3 or
Windows Media 8, as well as JPEG still
images. However, note that variations in the
encoder or codec used and the bit rate of the
encoding may affect the ability to play back a
specific disc. As a result, we cannot guarantee
complete compatibility with all encoders and
versions of the codecs. For best results, we rec-
ommend that MP3 files be encoded at bit
rates ranging between 32kbps and 320kbps.
WMA files should be encoded at bit rates
between 64kbps and 320kbps. Although the
player is capable of playing some WMA 9 files,
not all features of version 9 are supported.
JPEG files should contain no more than 5
megapixels, and the file size should be no
larger than 5Mb.
■ SACD discs are available in SACD-only and
hybrid formats. Hybrid discs contain a conven-
tional CD-DA (red book) layer, in addition to
the high-density SACD layer, that enables the
disc to be backwards compatible with conven-
tional optical disc players. The DVD 49 is capa-
ble of playing both types of SACD discs. When
a hybrid disc is loaded, the DVD 49 will
default to playing the SACD layer.
■ SACD discs are also available in either two-
channel or multichannel formats. The DVD 49
will play either format correctly, with multi-
channel materials being outputted through
the 6-Channel Outputs
6.
The Player will NOT play the following:
• DVD discs with a Region Code other than 2
• DVD-ROM data discs
• DVD-RAM discs
• CD-I discs
• CD-G discs
• SVCD discs
• Kodak Photo CD
™ discs (Kodak Picture CD
discs, available to consumers, may be viewed.
• Discs intended for use in video game consoles.
• Discs recorded in the “VR” mode or at any
speed other than “SP”.
• High-definition optical discs such as WMVHD,
HD-DVD and Blu-ray.
