Connections and Setup
Types of Discs Your HD DVD player will Play
• HD DVD video discs – because this is a new format, disc compatibility issues are possible. If you experi-
ence a disc compatibility problem, contact RCA Customer Support.
Note: Some content providers may use an Image Constraint Token (ICT) for HD DVD movie titles played
through an analog connection. An ICT constrains the picture to half the resolution of a full HD picture. If
an ICT is used, the content provider is required to put a warning label on the disc to let consumers know of
the limitation.
