Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high volume.
Hearing experts advise against continuous extended play.

If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce v olume or
discontinue use.

Do not us e wh il e o pe rat in g a mot o rize d v eh ic le . It may crea t e
a traffic hazard and is ill egal in many areas.

You shoul d use extreme caution or tempora rily discontinue
use in potential ly hazardous situations.

Even if your headphones or earphones are the open-air type
design ed to let you hear outside sounds, don’t turn up the

TM

volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort

level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds
“normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level
BEFORE your heari ng adapts.
T o establish a safe level:

≥ Start your volume control at a low setting.
≥ Sl owly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably

and clear ly, and with ou t dis t o rt io n.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

≥ Leave it there.

≥A frame still shows two fields, so there may be some blurring,

but picture quality is generally better.

≥A field still shows less picture information so it may be

rougher, but there is no blurring.

Gateway

IP address of the electronic device providing Internet access.
Usually called a router IP address. ( e.g., 192.168.0.1)

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI is a digital interface for consumer electronic products.

when, for example, connected to the Internet. When using a

of audi o quality.

Pan&Scan/Letterbox

In gen eral , DV D- Vi de o are pr o duced w i th th e in tent i on tha t t he y
be viewed on a widescreen television (16:9 aspect ratio), so
images often don’t fit regular (4:3 aspect ratio) televisions. Two
styles of picture, “Pan & Scan” and “Letterbox”, deal with this
problem.

Pan&Scan: The sides are cut off so the

pictu r e fil ls th e sc re en.

Letter bo x: Black ban ds ap pe ar a t the to p

and bottom of the picture so
the picture itself appears in an
aspect ratio of 16:9.

This is o ne f or ma t fo r conv er t ing an al og au di o in to d ig it al au di o,
enabling you to enjoy digital audio with no hassle.

Picture-in-picture

This is a function of BD-Video that plays the primary video and

Router

Distinguishes the IP address assigned to each device, such as
the PC, and relays the flow of data within the network.

Sampling freque ncy

Sampling is the process of converting the heights of soun d
wave (a nalog sig nal) samples taken at set periods into digits
(digital encoding). Sampling frequency is the number of
sampl es taken per second, so larger numbers mean mor e
faithful reproduction of the original sound.

Subnet ma sk

Enables efficient network use. A set of numbers which identify
which part of the IP address allocated to every device
connected to the router is the network portion.

1080i (1125i)

In one high definition image, 1080 (1125) alternating scan lines
pass to crea t e an inte r la ce d im ag e. Becaus e 10 80 i ( 1125i)

1080p (1125p)

In one high definition image, 1080 (1125) scan lines pass at the

video does not alternate scan lines like interlace, there is a
minimal amount of screen flicker.
* This unit can only outp ut 1080/24p.

24p

This is a progressive image recorded at a rate of 24 frames per
