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 DVD 20. Similarly, although the DVD 20
is capable of a wide range of features, not all
discs include every capability of the DVD system.
For example, although the DVD 20 is compatible
with multi-angle discs, that feature is only possi-
ble when the disc is specially encoded for multi-
ple-angle play. In addition, the DVD 20 is capa-
ble 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 cer-
tain that a specific feature or soundtrack option
is available, please check the options noted on
the disc jacket.

■ Playback capability for CD-R and CD-RW

discs may vary due to variations in the quality
of the disc and the recorder used to create
the disc.
