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
multipleangle play. In addition, the DVD 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 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 HS 350 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 HS'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 ranging between 32kbps
and 320kbps. WMA files should be encoded
at bit rates between 64kbps and 320kbps.
Although the HS systems is capable of playing
some WMA 9 files, not all features of
version 9 are supported. JPEG files should
contain no more than 5 megapixels, and the
file size should be no larger than 5Mb.
Upgradeability via Internet
The ”firmware” controlling the functionality of
the Harman Kardon HS 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/
