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 25. Similarly, although the DVD 25
is capable of a wide range of features, not all
discs include every capability of the DVD system.
For example, although the DVD 25 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 25 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.

The ”firmware” controlling the functionality of
the Harman Kardon DVD 25 is fully upgradeable.
In the event of future improvements to its
operations and features, it will be possible to
download firmware upgrades from
www.harmankardon.com. All you have to do is
create a CD-R with the data and insert it in the
DVD 25 for an automatic upgrade.
