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 possible when the disc is specially encoded for multiple-angle play. In addition, the DVD 25 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 feature or soundtrack option is available, please check the options noted on the disc jacket. • Playback of DTS audio discs requires connection to a processor or receiver with a DTS decoder. • Playback capability for CD- or DVD-recordable discs may vary due to variations in the quality of the disc and the recorder used to create the disc.
