discs.
There are 2 types of HD DVD disc; one is stan-
dard content disc and the other is advanced con-
tent disc. Standard content disc is pure extension

A single layer single sided disc (15 GB) has
capacity of about maximum 8 hours in 1125 line
high definition picture; about maximum 48 hours
in 525 line standard definition picture (depending
on bitrate of pre-recorded contents).
HD DVD Twin Format Discs have both HD DVD
and DVD layers on one side. HD DVD
Combination DVD Discs have HD DVD material
on one side and standard DVD material on the
other side. Because this type of disc is a technol-

operate properly in this player.
Some titles may be played back with black "letter-
box bars" because the title is recorded with bars
by the contents provider.

outputted as a NTSC signal.
Only the multi system colour TV can receive all
signals outputted from the player.

If you have a PAL colour system TV, you will see
just distorted images when using discs recorded in
NTSC.
The multi system colour TV changes the colour
system automatically according to input signals. In

images on screen.
If you try to record a NTSC output signal from the
player with your recorder, the recorder may not
record the signal correctly.
