Notes

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

Some BD-REs/BD-Rs, 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.

• Note about 8 cm BD-REs/8 cm BD-Rs

Some 8 cm BD-REs/8 cm BD-Rs cannot be played on this player.

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.

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.

Support of “Dolby TrueHD” and “DTS-HD” —

7.1 Channel Surround Sound

The player supports the bitstream output functionality of Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio bitstream via HDMI. It also supports the decoding functionality of Dolby TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus to Linear PCM via HDMI.

,continued

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.

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.

x.v.Color compatibility

This player supports playback of video contents on discs recorded with “x.v.Color” technology. To watch this video content with the “x.v.Color” space, a TV or other display device supporting both video image reproduction using “x.v.Color” standard and capability of manual switching of its color space setting is required. Please consult your owner’s manual of your display device for further information.

◆About x.v.Color

– x.v.Color is a more familiar term for the xvYCC standard

proposed by Sony, and is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

– xvYCC is an international standard for color space in video.

This standard can express a wider color range than the currently used broadcast standard.

Notes about the HDMI OUT jack

• When you connect the player to an AV amplifier (receiver) using an HDMI cord, you will need to do one of the following: – Connect the AV amplifier (receiver) to a TV with the HDMI

cord.

– Connect the player to the TV with a video cord other than an

HDMI cord (component video cord, S VIDEO cord, or video cord).

• When connecting to the HDMI OUT jack, carefully align the HDMI connector with the jack. Do not bend or apply pressure to the HDMI cord.

• If you change the component connected to the HDMI OUT jack, change “Audio (HDMI)” in “Audio Setup” to match the new component (page 47). The player stores the HDMI related settings for up to five components.

• The HDMI connection is compatible with 2ch Linear PCM signals (48 to 192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit), and 6 to 8ch Linear PCM signals (48 to 96 kHz, 16/20/24 bit), in addition to Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS (include DTS-ES, DTS96/24) and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio bitstream.

Note

If you connect a component that does not conform to the selected audio signal, a loud noise (or no sound) will come out from the speakers, which could damage your ears or speakers.
