Blu-ray Disc (BD) (page 7)A disc format developed for recording/playing high-defi nition (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 number (pages 33)Sections of a movie or a music feature that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of several chapters. Some discs may only be comprised of a single chapter.

Copy guardThis function prevents copying. You cannot copy discs marked by the copyright holder with a signal which prevents copying.

Disc menu (page 26)This lets you select things like the subtitle language or audio format using a menu stored on the DVD video disc.

Dolby DigitalA sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories Inc. that gives movie theatre ambience to audio output when the product is connected to a Dolby Digital processor or amplifi er.

Dolby Digital PlusA sound system developed as an extension to Dolby Digital, this audio coding technology supports 5.1 multi-channel surround sound.

Dolby TrueHDDolby 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.

DTSThis is a digital sound system developed by DTS, Inc for use in cinemas. This system uses 6 audio channels and provides accurate sound fi eld positioning and realistic acoustics. (By connecting a DTS Digital Surround decoder, you can also listen to DTS Digital Surround sound.)

DVD video (pages 7, 25)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 was adopted for effi cient video data compression. It is a variable rate technology that encodes the data to according to the status of the video for reproducing high-quality images. Audio information is recorded in a multi-channel format such as Dolby Digital, allowing for a realistic audio presence.

DVD+/-R (pages 7, 27)A DVD+/-R is a recordable, write-once DVD. Since contents can be recorded and cannot be overwritten, a DVD+/-R can be used to archive data or for storing and distributing video material. 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 (pages 7, 27)A DVD+/-RW is a recordable and rewritable DVD. The re-recordable feature makes editing possible. 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.

HDMI (page 15)HDMI (High-Defi nition Multimedia Interface) is an interface that supports both video and audio on a single digital connection. The HDMI connection carries standard to high defi nition video signals and multi-channel audio signals to AV components such as HDMI equipped TVs, in digital form without degradation.

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

Letter Box (LB 4:3) (page 34)A screen size with black bars on the top and bottom of the image to allow viewing of wide-screen (16:9) material on a connected 4:3 TV.

Linear PCM SoundLinear PCM is a signal recording format used for Audio CDs and on some DVD and Blu-ray discs. The sound on Audio CDs is recorded at 44.1 kHz with 16 bits. (Sound is recorded between 48 kHz with 16 bits and 96 kHz with 24 bits on DVD video discs and between 48 kHz with 16 bits and 192 kHz with 24 bits on BD video discs.)

MPEG-2MPEG-2 (Moving Picture Experts Group phase 2) is one of the video data compression schemes, which is adopted for DVD videos and digital broadcasts worldwide. Some Blu-ray Discs also use high bitrate MPEG-2.

Multi Angle (pages 31, 32)This is a feature of DVD and BD video discs. In some discs, the same scene is shot from different angles, and these are stored in a single disc so you can enjoy playback from each angle. (This function can be enjoyed if the disc is recorded with multiple angles.)

Multi AudioThis is a feature of DVD and BD video discs. This function makes it possible to record different audio tracks for the same video, so you can enhance your enjoyment by switching the audio. (You can enjoy this function with discs recorded with multiple audio tracks.)

Pan Scan (PS 4:3) (page 34)A screen size that cuts off the sides of the image to allow viewing of wide-screen (16:9) material on a connected 4:3 TV.

Parental control (page 43)In some digital broadcasts and BD/DVD video discs, a control level for disc viewing is set depending on the age of the viewer. With this Player, you can set the control level for viewing such broadcasts and discs.

Pop-up menu (page 26)An enhanced menu operation available on BD video discs. The pop-up menu appears when POP-UP MENU is pressed during playback, and can be operated while playback is in progress.

Progressive formatCompared to the Interlace format that alternately shows every other line of an image (fi eld) 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 30 frames/60 fi elds in one second, the Progressive format can show 60 frames in one second. The overall picture quality increases and still images, text, and horizontal lines appear sharper.

Region code (page 7)Code identifying a geographic region of compatibility for a BD/DVD.

Remote control code (page 22)This is the type of the remote control signal for operating the Player. There are three types of remote control signals: “Remote Control No. 1” (RC-1), “Remote Control No. 2” (RC-2) and “Remote Control No. 3” (RC-3).

Resume playback (page 25)If you stop playback while it is in progress, the Player stores the stop position in memory, and this function lets you playback from that point.

Skip (page 29)This returns to the start of the chapter (or track) being played, or skips to the next chapter (or track).

Subtitles (pages 30, 32, 33)These are the lines of text appearing at the bottom of the screen which translate or transcribe the dialogue. They are recorded on many DVD and BD video discs.

Time numberThis indicates the play time which has elapsed from the start of a disc or a title. It can be used to fi nd a specifi c scene quickly. (It may not work with some discs.)

Title number (pages 32, 33)These numbers are recorded on DVD and Blu-ray discs. When a disc contains two or more movies, these movies are numbered as title 1, title 2, etc.

Top menu (page 26)In a BD/DVD video, this is the menu for selecting things like the chapter to be played back and the subtitle language. In some DVD videos, the top menu may be called the “Title Menu”.

Track numberThese numbers are assigned to the tracks which are recorded on audio CDs. They enable specifi c tracks to be located quickly.
