Blu-ray Disc Features

Blu-ray Discs support the highest quality HD video available in the industry - Large capacity means no compromise on video quality. The following Blu-ray Disc features are disc dependant and will vary. Appearance and navigation of features will also vary from disc to disc. Not all discs will have the features described below.

Video highlights

The BD-ROM format supports three highly advanced video codecs, including AVC, VC-1 and MPEG-2. HD video resolutions are also supported:

• 1920 x 1080 High Definition

For High-Definition Playback

To view high-definition contents on a Blu-ray Disc, you need an HDTV (High Definition Television). Some Blu-ray Discs may require you to use the player’s HDMI OUT to view high-definition content. The ability to view high-definition content on Blu-ray Discs may be limited depending on the resolution of your TV.

IMPORTANT NOTE

The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse. The value of the fuse is indicated on the pin face of the plug. If it requires replacing, a fuse approved to BS1362 of the same rating must be used. Never use the plug with the fuse cover omitted if the cover is detachable. If a replacement fuse cover is required, it must be of the same colour as the pin face of the plug. Replacement covers are available from your dealer. If the fitted plug is not suitable for the power points in your house or the cable is not long enough to reach a power point, you should obtain a suitable safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance. However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the plug. Do not connect the plug to a mains jack, as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord. To disconnect the apparatus from the mains, the plug must be pulled out from the mains socket, therefore the mains plug shall be readily operable.
