About the HD DVD
HD DVD is a new standard which makes use of new technologies. As
such, there is a possibility of problems occurring related to connection,
compatibility or operation with some discs and other digital devices. The
HD DVD-ROM logo signifies that this drive complies with the HD DVD
physical standard, and does not signify compliance with the HD DVD
Video standard. This device does not support advanced features of the
HD DVD Video standard as defined by the DVD Forum, including picture-
in-picture and network download features. Screen movement may not
be smooth, and performance may be lowered with some HD DVD
content.
Playback of high bit rate content may cause frame dropping, audio
skipping or decrease in computer performance.
Viewing of HD DVD content on an external display requires an HDCP
TM
capable HDMI or DVI input on the external display.
Make sure to connect the computer's AC adaptor when playing an HD
DVD.
CPU power is concentrated on HD DVD playback when playing an HD
DVD, so make sure to exit all other applications.
