BIT RATE

When playing MPEG audio sound tracks

Bit rate refers to the amount of video/audio
data per second in a disc. When the bit rate
level is high, there is a large 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 system
indicates which layer is being read (“Layer
0” or “Layer 1”).
For details on the layers, see page 73
(DVD).

Checking the Play
Information

(ADVANCED)

You can check information such as the bit
rate or the disc layer that is being played.
While playing a disc, an approximate bit
rate of the playback picture is always
displayed as Mbps (Mega bit per second)
and the audio as kbps (kilo bit per second).
