* DVD Video function is supported via VOB / IFO (Video_TS folder).
If the drive is formatted in FAT32, DVD ISO file size cannot exceed
4GB due to file system format limitation.
** Supports iTunes encoded (m4a).
*** For audio with more than 2 channels, connect the product to
a digital home receiver. The audio is passed through the coaxial
connection (see section 3.1.3. Optical Audio (S/PDIF) Connection).
TECHNICAL NOTE: A container, such as AVI or MOV, is a file
format that defines how the data stream is stored. They contain data
that has been compressed using a codec. For a file to play properly
on your LaCinema HD Connect, both its codec and container type
must be supported.
TECHNICAL NOTE: You can download third party applications
that will help you to identify a file’s codec, container, and other in-
formation. LaCie suggests the free application Media Info.
