By pressing DISPLAY/FILE repeatedly, you
can display either “BIT RATE” or “LAYER,”
whichever was selected in “ADVANCED.”

BIT RATE

Bit rate refers to the amount of video/audio
data per second in a disc. While playing a
disc, an approximate bit rate of the playback
picture is displayed as Mbps (Mega bit per
second) and the audio as kbps (kilo bit per
second). The higher the bit rate, the larger the
amount of data. However, this does not
always mean that you can get higher quality
pictures or sounds.

LAYER

Indicates the approximate point where the
disc is playing.
If it is a dual-layer DVD, the player indicates
which layer is being read (“Layer 0” or
“Layer 1”).
For details on the layers, see page 98 (DVD
VIDEO).
