Linear PCM  
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.)

Subtitle languages  
NOTE  
This indicates the kind of subtitles.  
• The available functions differ depending on the disc.  
Screen aspect ratio  
Movies are shot in a variety of screen modes.  
Title, Chapter and Track  
Camera angle  
Recorded onto some BD/DVD discs are scenes which  
have been simultaneously shot from a number of  
different angles (the same scene is shot from the front,  
from the left side, from the right side, etc.).  
• Blu-ray discs and DVDs are divided into “Titles” and  
“Chapters”. If the disc has more than one movie on it, each  
movie would be a separate “Title”. “Chapters”, on the other  
hand, are subdivisions of titles. (See Example 1.)  
• Audio CDs are divided into “Tracks”. You can think of a  
Track” as one tune on an Audio CD. (See Example 2.)

following conditions:  
− Immediately after a heater has been turned on.  
− In a steamy or very humid room.  
− When the Player is suddenly moved from a cold  
environment to a warm one.  
When condensation forms:  
• It becomes difficult for the Player to read the signals  
on the disc and prevents the Player from operating  
properly.  
To remove condensation:  
Take out the disc and leave the Player with the power  
off until the condensation disappears. Using the Player  
when there is condensation may cause malfunction.

remain lit for a short period. This is normal and is not a malfunction.  
To Reset this Player  
• If this Player receives strong interference from a source such as excessive static electricity, strong external noise, malfunction  
of power supply, or voltage caused by lightning during use or a wrong operation is sent to the Player, errors like the Player not  
accepting an operation may occur. Press and hold B on the Player until “

a few moments for the system processing to finish before the Player is ready for use. During the system processing, the  
BD/DVD/CD mode indicator on the front panel display of the Player will blink. Once the system processing has finished, the  
indicator will finish blinking and then light up normally. You can operate the Player when the BD/DVD/CD mode indicator is lit.  
• Since all settings including the language setting stored in memory are also reset when a reset has been performed, they must  
be set again.  
• When the problem persists even after performing a reset, unplug the AC cord and plug it in again. If this does not solve the  
problem, contact the nearest service centre approved by SHARP.

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 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.
