Verbatim Blue Ray Disc Player User Manual

Blu-ray Technology  
What is Blu-ray?  
Blu-ray discs (BD) get their name from a combination of the words blue and optical ray. The format was developed  
by the Blu-ray Discs Association (BDA), which is made up of a group of leading consumer electronics, major film  
studios and PC companies, including our parent company, Mitsubishi Kagaku Media. Verbatim, as a subsidiary of  
MKM, has therefore, first hand access to the latest in Blu-ray technology.  
Our Research and Development team enables us to be at the forefront of Blue Laser Technology and and we are  
currently looking into producing 6x speed discs and quad-layer 100GB capacity discs.  
The Blu-ray disc’s higher storage capacity is enabled by a blue laser that has a shorter wavelength than the standard  
red laser used in CD (780nm) and DVD (650nm) technology. Blu-ray disc utilises a blue laser with a wavelength of only  
405nm combined with a strong lens system with a numerical aperture of 0.85. This results in a ultra-small laser spot  
which allows writing smaller data pits which increases the amount of data on the disc. Due to the small data entry spot  
on the disc surface hard coating is needed on Blu-ray discs.

Hard Coat surface  
Some discs are handled extensively, for example,  
8cm discs that are constantly placed in and out of  
the Camcorder in external environments. To protect  
from potential damage, all Verbatim Blu-ray discs  
from fingerprints, dust, scratches, static and water.

a disc comparison for typical scratch resistance.
