DVD-RW/+RW (page 4)
A DVD+/-RW is a recordable and rewritable DVD. The re-
recordable feature makes editing possible. The DVD+/-RW
has two different formats: VR format and Video format. DVDs
created in Video format have the same format as a DVD
video, while discs created in VR (Video Recording) format
allow the contents to be programed or edited.
HDMI (page 9)
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an interface
that supports both video and audio on a single digital
connection. The HDMI connection carries standard to high
definition video signals and multi-channel audio signals to
AV components such as HDMI equipped TVs, in digital form
without degradation.
Interlace format
Interlace format shows every other line of an image as a
single “field” and is the standard method for displaying
images on television. The even numbered field shows the
even numbered lines of an image, and the odd numbered
field shows the odd numbered lines of an image.
JPEG (pages 6, 17)
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a still image data
compression format and is used in most of digital cameras.
Letter Box (LB 4:3) (page 20)
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 Sound
Linear 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-2
MPEG-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 18, 19)
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 Audio
This 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 20)
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
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 14)
An enhanced menu operation available on BD video discs.
The pop-up menu appears when POPUP MENU/MENU
is pressed during playback, and can be operated while
playback is in progress.
Progressive format
Compared to the Interlace format that alternately shows
every other line of an image (field) 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 fields 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
Code identifying a geographic region of compatibility for a
BD/DVD.
Resume playback (pages 14, 19)
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 17)
This returns to the start of the chapter (or track) being played,
or skips to the next chapter (or track).
Subtitles (pages 18, 19)
These are the lines of text appearing at the bottom of the
screen which translate or transcribe the dialog. They are
recorded on many DVD and BD video discs.
Time number
This indicates the play time which has elapsed from the start
of a disc or a title. It can be used to find a specific scene
quickly. (It may not work with some discs.)
Title number
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 14)
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 number (page 19)
These numbers are assigned to the tracks which are
recorded on audio CDs. They enable specific tracks to be
located quickly.
x.v.Color
x.v.Color reproduces a greater range of color than before,
showing almost all of the colors that the human eye can
detect. (Applicable for JPEG files only with this system)
