Similarly, although the DVD iscapable of a wide range of features, not all discsinclude every capability of the DVD system. Forexample, although the DVD is compatible withmulti-angle discs, that feature is only possiblewhen the disc is specially encoded for multi-pleangle play. In addition, the DVD is capable ofplaying back both Dolby Digital and DTS sound-tracks, but the number and types of tracksavailable will vary from disc to disc.

However, note that variations in theencoder or codec used and the bit rate of theencoding may affect the HS's ability to playback a specific disc. As a result, we cannotguarantee complete compatibility with allencoders and versions of the codecs. For bestresults, we recommend that MP3 files beencoded at bit rates ranging between 32kbpsand 320kbps. WMA files should be encodedat bit rates between 64kbps and 320kbps.Although the HS systems is capable of playingsome WMA 9 files, not all features of version9 are supported. JPEG files should contain nomore than 5 megapixels, and the file sizeshould be no larger than 5Mb.Upgradeability via InternetThe ”firmware” controlling the functionality ofthe Harman Kardon HS system is fully upgrade-able.
