Notes:

 Depending on the conditions of the recording

equipment or the CD-R/RW (or DVD±R/RW) disc
itself, some CD-R/RW (or DVD±R/RW) discs can­not be played on the unit.

 Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the

labeled side or the recorded side) of a disc.

 Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (e.g., heart-

shaped or octagonal). Doing so may result in
malfunctions.

 Depending on the recording software & the final-

ization, some recorded discs (CD-R/RW or

 If you record a disc using a personal computer,

even if it is recorded in a compatible format, there
are cases in which it may not play because of the
settings of the application software used to create
the disc. (Check with the software publisher for
more detailed information.)

 This player requires discs and recordings to meet

certain technical standards in order to achieve
optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are
automatically set to these standards. There are

BD-ROM Disc Features

BD-ROM Discs can store 25 GB (single layer) or
50 GB (dual layer) on a single sided disc - about
5 to 10 times the capacity of a DVD.
BD-ROM Discs also support the highest quality HD
video available in the industry (up to 1920 x 1080) ­Large capacity means no compromise on video
quality. Furthermore, a BD-ROM disc has the same
familiar size and look as DVD.

• The following BD-ROM disc features are disc
dependent and will vary.

• Appearance and navigation of features will also
vary from disc to disc.

• Not all discs will have the features described
below.

BD-ROM, Hybrid disc have both BD-ROM and

•
DVD (or CD) layers on one side. Because this
type of disc is a technology currently in develop­ment, such discs may not operate properly in this
player.

Menu sounds

When you highlight or select a menu option, sounds
can be heard such as button clicks or a voice-over
explaining the highlighted menu choice.

Multi-page/PopUp Menus

With DVD-Video, playback is interrupted each time a
new menu screen is accessed. Due to BD-ROM
disc’s ability to preload data from the disc without
interrupting playback, a menu can consist of several
pages.
You can browse through the menu pages or select
different menu paths, while the audio and video
remain playing in the background.

Interactivity

Certain BD-ROM Discs may contain animated
menus and/or trivia games.

User Browsable Slideshows

With BD-ROM Discs, you can browse through vari­ous still pictures while the audio remains playing.

Introduction

Video highlights

The BD-ROM format for movie distribution supports
three highly advanced video codecs, including
MPEG-2, MPEG4 AVC (H.264), and SMPTE VC1.
HD video resolutions are also available:

• 1920 x 1080 HD

• 1280 x 720 HD

For High-Definition Playback

To view high-definition contents from BD-ROM discs,
an HDTV is required. Some discs may require HDMI
OUT for viewing of high-definition contents. Ability to
view high-definition contents in BD-ROM discs may
be limited depending on the resolution of your TV.

Graphic planes

Two individual, full HD resolution (1920x1080)
graphic planes (layers) are available, on top of the
HD video layer. One plane is assigned to video­related, frame accurate graphics (like subtitles), and
the other plane is assigned to interactive graphic
elements, such as buttons or menus.
For both planes, various wipes, fades and scroll
effects may be available.

Subtitles

Depending on what is contained on the BD-ROM
disc, you may be able to select different font styles,
sizes and colors for some subtitles, Subtitles may
also be animated, scrolled or faded in and out.

BD-J Interactive Capability

The BD-ROM format supports Java for interactive
functions. “BD-J” offers content providers almost
unlimited functionality when creating interactive
BD-ROM titles.

BD-ROM Disc Compatibility

This player supports BD-ROM Profile 1 version 1.0
only. Other profiles (i.e., BD-ROM Profile 1 version

Compatibility Notes

HD DVD video discs are high-density, high-capacity
discs.

There are 2 types of HD DVD disc; one is stan­dard content disc and the other is advanced con­tent disc. Standard content disc is pure extension
of DVD Video. Advanced content disc realizes
more interactivity in addition to the extension of
audio and video realized by standard disc.

The HD DVD disc standard has been approved
by the DVD forum.

HD DVD (single layer): Maximum capacity of 15 GB
HD DVD (dual layer): Maximum capacity of 30 GB
A single layer single sided disc (15 GB) has
capacity of about
high definition picture; about

maximum

8 hours in 1125 line

maximum
in 525 line standard definition picture (depending
on bitrate of pre-recorded contents).

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 this type of disc is a technol­ogy currently in development, such discs may not
operate properly in this player.

Some titles may be played back with black “letter­box bars” because the title is recorded with bars
by the contents provider.

48 hours

Because BD-ROM and HD DVD are a new for­mat, certain disc, digital connection and other
compatibility issues are possible. If you experi­ence compatibility problems, please contact an
authorized Customer Service Center.

standard DVD content may require an HDMI­capable input or HDCP-capable DVI input on
your display device.

Some BD-ROM, HD DVD and DVD discs may
restrict the use of some operation commands or
features.

Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD
capability is limited to 5.1 channels if you use
Digital Audio or HDMI connection for the audio
output of the unit.
