discs.

the DVD forum.

HD DVD (dual layer): Maximum capacity of 30 GB
A single layer single sided disc (15 GB) has
capacity of about 8 hours in 1125 line high defi nition
picture; about 48 hours in 525 line standard
defi nition picture (depending on bitrate of pre-
recorded contents).
*1GB means 1,000,000,000 bytes.
7 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
both disc types are new, such discs may not operate
properly in this player.
