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. Similarly, although the DVD is
capable of a wide range of features, not all discs
include every capability of the DVD system. For
example, although the DVD is compatible with
multi-angle discs, that feature is only possible
when the disc is specially encoded for multi -
pleangle play. In addition, the DVD is capable of
playing back both Dolby Digital and DTS sound-
tracks, 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 Digital Lounge system 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 Digital Lounge
system's ability to play back a specific disc. As
a result, we cannot guarantee complete com-
patibility with all encoders and versions of the
codecs. For best results, we recommend 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 Digital
Lounge systems is capable of playing some
WMA 9 files, not all features of version 9 are
supported. JPEG Files should not be created
with the SRGB or CMYK mode.

Upgradeability via Internet

The ”firmware” controlling the functionality of
the Harman Kardon Digital Lounge system 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/International/
All you have to do is create a CD-R with the
data and insert it in the DVD for an automatic
upgrade. You can also load the upgrade on a
portable mass storage device to connect to any
of the two USB inputs.
