The CVR700 will also play most DVD-
Video, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R or
DVD+RW blank discs, but we cannot guar-
antee complete playback compatibility of
DVD-recordable discs due to the wide
variation in recorders and blank discs.

12cm (5") 8cm (3") 8cm (3")
12cm (5") 12cm (5")
NOTE: Playback of CD-R or CD-RW discs
created on a computer requires proper
formatting and finalization of the disc for
audio playback. Some computers and/or
software programs may not be capable of
creating compatible discs.
DVD-Video Disc Compatibility:
• 8cm (3") or 12cm (5") discs
• Single-sided or double-sided discs

more titles, which may be further sub-
divided into chapters.

5 megapixels, file size up to 5mb)
• Linear PCM discs are generally divided
into tracks like an audio CD. MP3,
WMA and JPEG discs (or discs that
contain more than one of these for-
mats) are divided into files, which may
be organized into folders, depending on
how the disc was created.

® Photo CD discs (Kodak Picture
CD discs, which are available to con-
sumers, contain files in the JPEG for-
mat which may be viewed using the
CVR700.)
NOTE: Due to differences in the format-
ting of certain discs, it is possible that
some discs may include features that
are not compatible with the CVR700.
Similarly, although the CVR700 is capable
of a wide range of features, not all discs
include every capability of the DVD sys-
tem. For example, although the CVR700 is
compatible with multi-angle discs, that
feature is only possible when the disc is
specially encoded for multiple-angle play.
In addition, the CVR700 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 fea-
ture or soundtrack option is available,
please check the options noted on the
disc jacket.
• Playback capability for CD- or DVD-
recordable discs may vary due to varia-
tions in the quality of the disc and the
recorder used to create the disc.
• The CVR700 is compatible with most
discs recorded with files encoded using
MP3 or Windows Media 9, 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 CVR700’s 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 recommend that
MP3 files be encoded at bit rates rang-
ing between 32kbps and 320kbps.
WMA files should be encoded at bit
rates between 16kbps and 192kbps.
JPEG files should contain no more than
5 megapixels, and the file size should
be no larger than 5Mb.
Note on DVD-Audio Discs: Due to the
newness of this format and some author-
ing issues, it is possible that some DVD-
Audio discs will not play, or that all fea-
tures and menus may not be available.
Note that in many cases, in order to
access the disc menu, instead of pressing
the Menu Button
j , it is neces-
sary to press the Title Button y or the
Audio Button
U. In addition, many
DVD-Audio discs provide two menus: a
DVD-Audio menu and a DVD-Video menu
intended for use on older players that do
not support the DVD-Audio format. If you
wish to view the DVD-Video menu and
access surround modes and other fea-
tures only available through that menu
(such as Dolby Digital 5.1 or PCM audio
tracks), you will need to temporarily dis-
able the CVR700’s DVD-Audio capability
using the DVD Setup menu (see Fig. 31).
