Supported Discs

The DVD receiver supports the following discs.

• Some audio CDs feature copy protection that doesn’t

conform to the official CD standard. Since these are
nonstandard discs, they may not play properly in the
DVD receiver.

recorded in Video CD format, audio CD format, or
ISO 9660 Level 1 or 2 format with MP3, WMA, and
JPEG files. It also supports DVD-R and DVD-RW
discs recorded in DVD-Video format. However, some
CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, and DVD-RW discs may not
work properly for any of the following reasons:
incomplete disc finalization, disc burner characteris-
tics, disc characteristics, the disc is damaged or dirty.
See the manual supplied with your disc burner for
more information. Condensation or dirt on the optical
pickup lens can also affect playback.

• The DVD receiver supports 8 cm and 12 cm discs.
• The DVD receiver does not support disc types not
