Blu-ray Disc Features

Blu-ray 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. Blu-ray Discs also support the highest quality HD video available in the industry (up to 1920 x 1080 at 40 Mbit/sec) - Large capacity means no compromise on video quality. Further more, a Blu-ray Disc has the same familiar size and look as DVD.

* 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

- 1920 x 1080 HD

- 1280 x 720 HD

For High-Definition Playback

To view high-definition contents in BD discs, an HDTV (High Definition Television) is required. Some discs may require using the player's HDMI OUT to view high-definition content.The ability to view high-definition content on BD discs may be limited depending on the resolution of your TV.

Graphic planes

Two individual, full HD resolution (1920x1080) video layers are available, on top of the HD video layer. One layer is assigned to video-related graphics (like subtitles), and the other layer is assigned to interactive elements, such as buttons or menus. Various wipes, fades and scroll effects may be available on both layers.
