		+	== Limitations==
		+	The Wii hardware provides limitations as to the media playback capabilities of WiiMC. The console's drive is equipped with a DVD laser only so it is not capable of Audio CD playback. Video playback is limited by the Wii's hardware to [[480p]] or [[576i]]. Multichannel sound (5.1) is not possible as the Wii hardware has only two analogue audio output channels (2.0)
