Notes

• Notes about DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs, or CD-Rs/ CD-RWs

Some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs, or CD-Rs/ CD-RWs cannot be played on this player due to the recording quality or physical condition of the disc, or the characteristics of the recording device and authoring software. The DVD disc will not play if it has not been correctly finalized. For more information, refer to the operating instructions for the recording device. Note that some playback functions may not work with some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, even if they have been correctly finalized. In this case, view the disc by normal playback.

• Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies

This product is designed to playback discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are being marketed by some record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard and may not be playable by this product.

• Note on DualDiscs

A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD recorded material on one side with digital audio material on the other side. However, since the audio material side does not conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback on this product is not guaranteed.

• Note about double-layer DVDs

The playback pictures and sound may be momentarily interrupted when the layers switch.

AVCHD format

This player can play AVCHD format discs.

What is the AVCHD format?

The AVCHD format is a high definition digital video camera format used to record SD (standard definition) or HD (high definition) signals of either the 1080i specification*1 or the 720p specification* coding technology. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is adopted to compress video data, and the Dolby Digital or Linear PCM system is used to compress audio data. The MPEG-4 AVC/ H.264 format is capable of compressing images at higher efficiency than that of the conventional image compressing format. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format enables a high definition (HD) video signal shot on a digital video camera recorder to be recorded on DVD discs, in the same way as it would be for a standard definition (SD) television signal.

“AVCHD” and the AVCHD logo are trademarks of Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. and Sony Corporation.

A high definition specification which utilizes 1080 effective scanning lines and the interlace system.

A high definition specification which utilizes 720 effective scanning

lines and the progressive system.

Notes

• Some AVCHD format discs may not play, depending on the recording condition.

• The AVCHD format disc will not play if it has not been correctly finalized.

BD-ROM playback

BD-ROM is a next generation optical disc format in the HD era. Featuring massive storage capacity of 25 to 50 GB (five times larger than a DVD) and a high-speed transfer rate of up to 54 Mbps, the format offers not only uncompromised HD quality

1*2

video*

, but also enables rich bonus content on a single disc

and HD quality audio up to 8ch, and interactive operability.

*1A compatible HD display device is necessary to enjoy the same

quality.

Some discs allow viewing only with an HDMI connection.

24p True Cinema

Movies shot with a film camera consist of 24 frames per second. Since conventional televisions (both CRT and flat panels) display frames either at 1/60 or 1/50 second intervals, the 24 frames do not appear at an even pace. When connected to a TV with 24p capabilities, the player displays each frame at 1/24 second intervals — the same interval originally shot with the film camera, thus faithfully reproducing the original cinema image.

HDMI Control (‘BRAVIA’ Theatre Sync)

‘BRAVIA’ Theatre Sync Function makes operations simple by connecting Sony components that are compatible with the HDMI Control function with an HDMI cord (not supplied).

BD-J application

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

Java and all Java-based trademarks and logos are trademarks or registered trademarks of Sun Microsystems, Inc. in the U.S. and other countries. Esmertec and Jbed are trademarks or registered trademarks of Esmertec AG. © 2000-2007 Esmertec AG

* This player does not support downloadable BD-J content.

Support of uncompressed multi-channel Linear PCM

In combination with a compatible AV amplifier, the player can output up to 8ch Linear PCM surround sound*. With a noncompatible amplifier, the player can output 5.1ch analog signals from its 5.1CH OUTPUT jack for high quality audio enjoyment.

* Note that the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack does not

output 8ch signals. You will need an HDMI cord and an HDMIcompatible device that support 8ch signals.

AVCHD format disc playback

The player supports AVCHD format files–high definition recordings made on AVCHD-compatible camcorders. Your high definition personal archive is readily playable in HD quality.

Page 8

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) digital interface

When connected to an HDMI-equipped display device using a single HDMI cord, the player can output both SD to HD video and multi-channel audio signals, in digital form without degradation. The HDMI specification supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), a copy protection technology that incorporates coding technology for digital video signals.

Library function for recorded files (For JPEG image, MP3 audio, MPEG-2 PS movie files only)

With DATA DVDs created on other DVD devices, three separate movie/music/photo Title List-browsers allow for easy sorting, searching and playback including a slideshow.

Glossary

AACS

“Advanced Access Content System” is a specification for managing digital entertainment contents stored on the next generation of prerecorded and recorded optical media. The specification enables consumers to enjoy digital entertainment content, including high-definition content.

AVCHD (page 6)

The AVCHD format is a high definition digital video camera format used to record SD (standard definition) or HD (high definition) signals of either the 1080i specification*1 or the 720p specification* data compression coding technology. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is adopted to compress video data, and the Dolby Digital or Linear PCM is used to compress audio data. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is capable of compressing images at higher efficiency than that of the conventional image compression format. The MPEG-4 AVC/ H.264 format enables a high definition (HD) video signal shot on a digital video camera recorder to be recorded on DVDs in the same way as for a standard definition (SD) television signal.

*1A high definition specification that

utilizes1080 effective scanning lines and the interlace format.

A high definition specification that utilizes

720 effective scanning lines and the progressive format.

BD-J application

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

BD-R

BD-R (Blu-ray Disc Recordable) is a recordable, write-once Blu-ray Disc, available in the same capacities as the BD below. Since contents can be recorded and cannot be overwritten, a BD-R can be used to archive valuable data or storing and distributing video material.

on DVDs, using efficient

BD-ROM (page 5)

BD-ROMs (Blu-ray Disc Read-Only Memory) are commercially produced discs and are available in the same capacities as the BD below. Other than conventional movie and video contents, these discs have enhanced features such as interactive content, menu operations using pop-up menus (see below), selection of subtitle display, and slideshow. Although a BD-ROM may contain any form of data, most BD ROM discs will contain movies in High Definition format, for playback on Bluray Disc players.

Blu-ray Disc (BD) (page 5)

A disc format developed for recording/ playing high-definition (HD) video (for HDTV, etc.), and for storing large amounts of data. A single layer Blu-ray Disc holds up to 25 GB, and a dual-layer Blu-ray Disc holds up to 50 GB of data.

Chapter (page 25)

Sections of a picture or a music feature that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of several chapters. Depending on the disc, no chapters may be recorded.

Dolby Digital (page 47)

Digital audio compression technology developed by Dolby Laboratories. This technology conforms to multi-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. Dolby Digital provides the same discrete channels of high quality digital audio found in “Dolby Digital” theatre surround sound systems. Good channel separation is realized because all of the channel data is recorded discretely and little deterioration occurs because all channel data processing is digital.

Dolby Digital Plus (page 48)

Developed as an extension to Dolby Digital, the audio coding technology supports 7.1 multi-channel surround sound.

Dolby Surround (Pro Logic)

(page 47)

Audio signal processing technology that Dolby Laboratories developed for surround sound. When the input signal contains a surround component, the Pro Logic process outputs the front, centre and rear signals. The rear channel is monaural.

Dolby TrueHD (page 48)

Dolby TrueHD is a lossless coding technology that supports up to 8 channels of multi-channel surround sound for the next generation optical discs. The reproduced sound is true to the original source bit-for-bit.

DTS (page 47)

Digital audio compression technology that DTS, Inc. developed. This technology conforms to multi-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides the same discrete channels of high quality digital audio. Good channel separation is realized because all of the channel data is recorded discretely and little deterioration occurs because all channel data processing is digital.

DTS-HD (page 48)

DTS-HD is an extended format of the Coherent Acoustics audio coding system, which also encompasses DTS Digital Surround, DTS-ES, and DTS 96/

24. DTS-HD is highly flexible in supporting the number of discrete surround sound channels. While 7.1ch surround sound is planned for Blu-ray Discs, the audio signals can be downmixed to 5.1 or 2 channels for backward compatibility, and the reproduced audio quality can either be at the bit rate of DTS Digital Surround or the lossless mode.

DVD VIDEO (page 5)

A disc format that contains up to eight hours of moving pictures on a disc the same diameter as a CD. A single-layer single sided DVD holds up to 4.7 GB; a double layer single-sided DVD, 8.5 GB; a single layer double-sided DVD, 9.4 GB; double-layer double-sided DVD, 17 GB. The MPEG 2 format is adopted for the efficient video data compression. The variable rate coding technology that changes the data to be allocated according to the status of the picture is adopted for reproducing high-quality pictures. Audio information is recorded in a multi-channel format, such as Dolby Digital, allowing for a realistic audio presence.

BD-RE

BD-RE (Blu-ray Disc Rewritable) is a recordable and rewritable Blu-ray Disc, available in the same capacities as the BD below. The re-recordable feature makes extensive editing and timeshifting applications possible.

Page 61

DVD-R (page 5)

A DVD-R is a recordable disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO. Contents can be recorded only once to a DVD-R, and will have the same format as a DVD VIDEO. The DVD-R has two different modes: VR mode and Video mode. DVDs created in Video mode have the same format as a DVD VIDEO, while discs created in VR (Video Recording) mode allow the contents to be programmed or edited.

DVD-RW (page 5)

A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO. The DVD-RW has two different modes: VR mode and Video mode. DVDs created in Video mode have the same format as a DVD VIDEO, while discs created in VR (Video Recording) mode allow the contents to be programmed or edited.

DVD+R (page 5)

A DVD+R (read “plus R”) is a recordable disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO. Contents can be recorded only once to a DVD+R, and will have the same format as a DVD VIDEO.

DVD+RW (page 5)

A DVD+RW (read “plus RW”) is a recordable and rewritable disc. DVD+RWs use a recording format that is comparable to the DVD VIDEO format.

Film-based software, Video-based software

DVDs can be classified as Film-based or Video-based software. Film-based DVDs contain the same images (24 frames per second) that are shown at movie theatres. Video-based DVDs, such as television dramas or sitcoms, display images at 25 frames/50 fields (30 frames/60 fields) per second.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI is an interface that supports both video and audio on a single digital connection. The HDMI connection carries standard to high definition video signals and multi-channel audio signals to AV components such as HDMI equipped TVs, in digital form without degradation. The HDMI specification supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection), a copy protection technology for digital entertainment contents for HDMI.

Interlace format

Interlace format shows every other line of an image as a single “field” and is the standard method for displaying images on television. The even number field shows the even numbered lines of an image, and the odd numbered field shows the odd numbered lines of an image.

MPEG-2

One of the video data compression schemes established by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG), which is adopted for DVD VIDEOs and digital broadcasts worldwide. The scheme specifies MPEG-2 PS (Program Stream) for recordable media such as a DVD VIDEO, and MPEG-2 TS (Transport Stream) for digital broadcasts and other communications.

Pop-up menu

An enhanced menu operation available on BD-ROMs. The pop-up menu appears when MENU is pressed during playback, and can be operated while playback is in progress.

Progressive format

Compared to the Interlace format that alternately shows every other line of an image (field) to create one frame, the Progressive format shows the entire image at once as a single frame. This means that while the Interlace format can show 25 or 30 frames (50-60 fields) in one second, the Progressive format can show 50-60 frames in one second. The overall picture quality increases and still images, text, and horizontal lines appear sharper.

Title (page 26)

The longest section of a picture or music feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video software, or the entire album in audio software.
