Tech/Engineering - Media / Multimedia / digital video compression for consumer electronics
English term or phrase: play advanced features
The English phrase is: "In addition to playing the video format, these electronic devices play the advanced features only available with this format."

Question: I am translating "advanced features" as "fonctionnalités avancées", but I am questioning whether or not it is right to say that the device can "lire des fonctionnalités avancées". Can you say "lire fonctionnalités" in French? Or is there a better verb to use in this context?
