PRECAUTIONS  
Precautions on viewing stereoscopic 3D images  
• Do not view stereoscopic 3D images if you have a history of photosensitivity, heart disease or poor health. This may  
cause the symptoms to worsen.  
• If you experience any health problems such as fatigue and discomfort while viewing stereoscopic 3D images, immediately  
discontinue viewing. Continuing viewing after symptoms appear may cause health risks. Take a break until the symptoms  
have completely disappeared.  
• Ages of 5–6 or over are recommended for viewing stereoscopic 3D images. Symptoms such as fatigue and discomfort  
are difficult to determine in young children, therefore they may suddenly become ill. When viewing 3D images with  
children, please watch for eye strain symptoms.  
• When viewing stereoscopic 3D images, take a moderate break after watching one title. Viewing for extended periods may  
cause visual strain.  
Precautions when cleaning this product  
• Turn off the main power and unplug the AC cord from the wall outlet before handling.  
• To clean the outer cabinet, periodically wipe it with a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.).  
• For severe dirt, soak a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.) in some neutral detergent diluted with water, wring the cloth out  
thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then wipe again with a soft, dry cloth.  
• Do not use chemicals or a chemically treated cloth for cleaning. It may damage the cabinet finish.  
Notes on using Wireless LAN  
• When this player is connected to a wireless LAN network, transmissions between the wireless LAN components inside  
this player and a wireless LAN compatible broadband router (commercially available) are carried out.  
Precautions on using Wireless LAN  
• The following devices, radio stations, etc. use the same frequency bands. Do not use wireless LAN near them.  
Manufacturing/scientific/diagnostic equipment such as pacemakers, etc.  
Specified low power radio stations (radio stations that do not require a license)  
If this player is used near these devices, there is a possibility that radio wave interference may occur. Therefore  
transmission may not be possible or speed may be reduced.  
• Mobile phones, radios, etc. use different radio frequency bands from wireless LAN, so there will not be any effect on the  
transmissions of these devices or wireless LAN if this player is used near them.  
However, if a wireless LAN product is placed near one of these devices, audio or video noise may occur due to the  
electromagnetic waves that emit from wireless LAN products.  
• Radio waves will pass through the wood, glass, etc. used in standard housing, however they will not pass through  
reinforcing bars, metal, concrete, etc. Radio waves will not pass through walls and floors if these materials are used.

layer single sided DVD holds up to 4.7 GB; a double  
layer single-sided DVD, 8.5 GB; a single layer double-  
sided DVD, 9.4 GB; double-layer double-sided DVD, 17  
GB. The MPEG 2 format was adopted for efficient video  
data compression. It is a variable rate technology that  
encodes the data to according to the status of the video  
for reproducing high-quality images. Audio information  
is recorded in a multi-channel format such as Dolby  
Digital, allowing for a realistic audio presence.

MPEG-2  
A DVD+/-R is a recordable, write-once DVD. Since  
contents can be recorded and cannot be overwritten,  
a DVD+/-R can be used to archive data or for storing  
and distributing video material. The DVD+/-R 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.  
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 36–38)  
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.)  
DVD+/-RW (pages 9, 27)  
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.  
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.)  
HDMI (page 18)  
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an

Glossary  
Parental control (page 41)  
x.v.Color  
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.  
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)  
Pop-up menu (page 28)  
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.  
Region code (page 9)  
Code identifying a geographic region of compatibility  
for a BD/DVD.  
Resume playback (page 27)  
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.

played, or skips to the next chapter (or track).

the screen which translate or transcribe the dialog.  
They are recorded on many DVD and BD video discs.

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.)

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.

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 (pages 37, 38)  
These numbers are assigned to the tracks which are  
recorded on audio CDs. They enable specific tracks to  
be located quickly.
