su

pports 100BASE-TX.

Interactive audio

The audio signals

recorded in the titles of BD-ROMs. They include

fo

r example the clicking sound made when the menu screen is

o

perated.

Interlaced scan

With this method, one

picture is displayed by scanning it twice.

The odd lines a

re displayed in the first pass, the even lines are

dis

played in the second, to form a single picture (frame).

Inte

rlaced scan is indicated in this player and operating

inst

ructions by an “i” after the resolution value (for example, 576i).

IP address

An add

ress that identifies a computer or other device connected

to the Inte

rnet or local area network. It is represented a number

in fou

r sections.

Linear PCM

This is

referred as the audio signals that are not compressed.

MAC (Media Access Control) address

A ha

rdware identification number assigned specifically to the

netwo

rk device (LAN card, etc.).

rds used to encode video and

su

perimposed on the primary video.

Port number

This is a sub-add

ress provided below the IP address for

simultaneously connecting to multi

ple parties during Internet

communications.

Progressive scan

With this method, one

picture is consisted of a single picture,

without dividing it in two

pictures. Progressive scan provides

clea

r pictures with no flicker, in particular for still pictures that

contain much text, g

raphics, or horizontal lines. Progressive scan

is indicated in this

player and operating instructions by a “p” after

the

resolution value (for example, 576p).

Proxy server

This is a

relay server for ensuring fast access and safe

communications when connecting to the Inte

rnet from an

inte

rnal network.

Region number

See About region numbers on

page 9.

Secondary audio

Some BD-ROMs include sub audio st

reams mixed with the main

audio st

ream. These sub audio streams are called “secondary

audio”. On some discs this seconda

ry audio is recorded as the

audio fo

r the secondary video.

Secondary video

Some BD-ROMs include sub videos su

perimposed on the main

videos using the Pictu

re-in-Picture function. These sub videos are

called “seconda

ry video”.

Subnet mask

This is used to identify which

part of the IP address corresponds

to the subnet (a se

parately managed network). The subnet mask

is ex

pressed as “255.255.255.0”.

USB(Universal Serial Bus)
