Step 3: Inserting the External Memory

To enjoy additional content (such as BonusView/BD-Live) on certain Blu-ray Disc titles, you will need to use external memory. Insert the external memory device (1 GB or larger USB flash memory, such as Sony USM1GH) into the EXT slot as your local storage.

Insert the external memory in the V direction into the EXT slot as far as it will go.

Check that the EXT indicator lights up in the front panel display when turning the player on.

Rear of the player

Sony USM1GH (not supplied)

With the terminal side up

• Do not connect anything other than a USB flash memory, such as an HDD, etc., to the EXT slot.

• Insert the external memory straight. If you force the external memory into the slot, this will cause damage to both the external memory and the player.

• Keep the external memory away from small children to prevent them from accidentally swallowing the external memory.

• Do not apply too much pressure to the external memory in the slot, as it may cause a malfunction.

• We recommend use of the Sony USM1GH available as of April 2008.

• Other USB flash devices may support this function. However we cannot guarantee compatibility with all USB flash memories.

• When inserting a USB flash memory other than Sony USM1GH, check the insertion direction before inserting it.

• Depending on the USB flash memory, it may stick out from the EXT slot. Do not force into the slot or apply pressure to the protruding portion of the USB flash memory.

• To avoid data corruption or damage to the external memory, turn the player off when inserting or removing the external memory.

• When the EXT indicator does not light up, turn the player off, remove and re-insert the external memory, then turn the player on again.

• Do not insert the external memory that contains photo or music files to avoid corrupting the external memory data.

About playback of discs recorded in 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 specification compression 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.

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.

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 61)

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 DVDs, using efficient 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.

A high definition specification that utilises 1080 effective scanning lines and the interlace format.

A high definition specification that utilises 720 effective scanning lines and the progressive format.

or the 720p specification*2 on

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 (page 59)

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.

BD-RE (page 59)

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 time-shifting applications possible.

BD-ROM (page 59)

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, 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 Blu-ray Disc/DVD players.

Blu-ray Disc (BD) (page 59)

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.

Dolby Digital Plus (page 63)

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

Page 69

Dolby TrueHD (page 63)

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.

Pop-up menu (page 32)

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

DTS-HD High Resolution Audio (page 63)

DTS-HD Master Audio (page 63)

DTS-HD Master Audio has a maximum transmission rate of 24.5 Mbps, and uses lossless compression (Lossless), and DTSHD Master Audio corresponds to a maximum sampling frequency of 192 kHz, and maximum of 7.1ch.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) (page 15)

HDMI is an interface that supports both video and audio on a single digital connection. The HDMI connection carries standard- to highdefinition 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.

x.v.Colour (page 44)

x.v.Colour is a familiar term for the xvYCC standard proposed by Sony. xvYCC is an international standard for Colour space in video. This standard can express a wider colour range than the currently used broadcast standard.

24p True Cinema (page 43)

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.
