coding technology. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is adopted  
to compress video data, and the Dolby Digital or Linear PCM  
system is used to compress audio data. The MPEG-4 AVC/  
H.264 format is capable of compressing images at higher  
efficiency than that of the conventional image compressing  
format. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format enables a high  
definition (HD) video signal shot on a digital video camera  
recorder to be recorded on DVD discs, in the same way as it  
would be for a standard definition (SD) television signal.  
• HD layer on Super Audio CDs.  
Also, the player cannot play the following discs:  
• A BD-ROM/DVD VIDEO with a different region code.  
• A disc recorded in a color system other than NTSC, such as

• A disc that has a non-standard shape (e.g., card, heart).  
• A disc with paper or stickers on it.  
• A disc that has the adhesive of cellophane tape or a sticker still  
left on it.

by normal playback.  
Notes  
• Some AVCHD format discs may not play, depending on the recording  
condition.  
• The AVCHD format disc will not play if it has not been correctly  
finalized.  
• Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies  
This product is designed to playback discs that conform to the

CD standard and may not be playable by this product.  
• Note on DualDiscs  
A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD  
recorded material on one side with digital audio material on the  
other side.  
However, since the audio material side does not conform to the  
Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback on this product is not  
guaranteed.

Note on playback operations of BDs/  
DVDs  
Some playback operations of BDs/DVDs may be intentionally  
set by software producers. Since this player plays BDs/DVDs  
according to the disc contents the software producers designed,  
some playback features may not be available. Also, refer to the  
instructions supplied with the BDs/DVDs.  
Movies shot with a film camera consist of 24 frames per second.  
Since conventional televisions (both CRT and flat panels)  
display frames either at 1/60 or 1/50 second intervals, the 24  
frames do not appear at an even pace.  
When connected to a TV with 24p capabilities, the player  
displays each frame at 1/24 second intervals — the same interval  
originally shot with the film camera, thus faithfully reproducing  
the original cinema image.  
HDMI Control (‘BRAVIA’ Theatre Sync)  
‘BRAVIA’ Theatre Sync Function makes operations simple by  
connecting Sony components that are compatible with the  
HDMI Control function with an HDMI cord.

This product incorporates copyright protection technology that  
is protected by U.S. patents and other intellectual property rights.  
Use of this copyright protection technology must be authorized  
by Macrovision, and is intended for home and other limited  
viewing uses only unless otherwise authorized by Macrovision.

consult your nearest Sony dealer (For customers in the USA  
only).  
Additional  
Information  
Power  
The power does not turn on.

Picture  
There is no picture/picture noise appears.  
, Re-connect the connecting cord securely.  
, The connecting cords are damaged.  
, Check the connection to your TV (page 10) and switch the  
input selector on your TV so that the signal from the player  
appears on the TV screen.  
, The disc is dirty or flawed.  
, If the picture output from your player goes through your  
VCR to get to your TV or if you are connected to a  
combination TV/VIDEO player, the copy-protection signal  
applied to some BD/DVD programs could affect picture  
quality. If you still experience problems even when you  
connect your player directly to your TV, try connecting your  
player to your TV’s S VIDEO input (page 10).  
, The player is connected to an input device that is not HDCP-  
compliant (the HDMI indicator on the front panel does not  
light up). See page 11.  
, If the HDMI OUT jack or the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT  
jacks are used for video output, changing the output  
resolution may solve the problem (page 46). Press VIDEO  
FORMAT repeatedly until the picture appears correctly.  
, Depending on the disc, the picture quality may be poor when  
the VIDEO FORMAT setting is set to other than “480i,”  
even when the player is connected to a progressive or HD  
TV using a component cord or an HDMI cord. If this  
happens, press VIDEO FORMAT repeatedly to switch to  
“480i.”  
, When playing a double-layer DVD, the video and audio may  
be momentarily interrupted at the point where the layers  
switch.

Program or any portion of it, thus forming a  
work based on the Program, and copy and

The source code for a work means the  
preferred form of the work for making  
modifications to it. For an executable work,  
complete source code means all the source  
code for all modules it contains, plus any  
associated interface definition files, plus the  
scripts used to control compilation and  
installation of the executable.  
However, as a special exception, the source  
code distributed need not include anything  
that is normally distributed (in either source  
or binary form) with the major components  
(compiler, kernel, and so on) of the  
operating system on which the executable

receive source code or can get it if you want it,  
that you can change the software or use pieces of  
it in new free programs; and that you know you  
can do these things.

rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These  
restrictions translate to certain responsibilities  
for you if you distribute copies of the software, or  
if you modify it.  
For example, if you distribute copies of such a  
program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must  
give the recipients all the rights that you have.  
You must make sure that they, too, receive or can  
get the source code. And you must show them  
these terms so they know their rights.  
We protect your rights with two steps: (1)  
copyright the software, and (2) offer you this  
license which gives you legal permission to  
copy, distribute and/or modify the software.  
Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we  
want to make certain that everyone understands  
that there is no warranty for this free software. If  
the software is modified by someone else and  
passed on, we want its recipients to know that  
what they have is not the original, so that any  
problems introduced by others will not reflect on  
the original authors’ reputations.

contradict the conditions of this License,  
they do not excuse you from the conditions  
of this License. If you cannot distribute so as

other than ‘show w’ and ‘show c’; they could  
even be mouse-clicks or menu items-whatever  
suits your program.  
You should also get your employer (if you work  
as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign  
a “copyright disclaimer” for the program, if  
necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

implemented by public license practices.  
Many people have made generous  
contributions to the wide range of software  
distributed through that system in reliance  
on consistent application of that system; it is  
up to the author/donor to decide if he or she  
is willing to distribute software through any  
other system and a licensee cannot impose  
that choice.  
This section is intended to make thoroughly  
clear what is believed to be a consequence  
of the rest of this License.  
This General Public License does not permit  
incorporating your program into proprietary  
programs. If your program is a subroutine

permit linking proprietary applications with the

Preamble  
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS  
The licenses for most software are designed to  
take away your freedom to share and change it.  
By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses  
are intended to guarantee your freedom to share  
and change free software-to make sure the  
software is free for all its users. This license, the  
Lesser General Public License, applies to some  
specially designated software packages-typically  
libraries-of the Free Software Foundation and  
other authors who decide to use it. You can use it  
too, but we suggest you first think carefully about  
whether this license or the ordinary General  
Public License is the better strategy to use in any  
particular case, based on the explanations below.  
When we speak of free software, we are referring  
to freedom of use, not price. Our General Public  
Licenses are designed to make sure that you have  
the freedom to distribute copies of free software  
(and charge for this service if you wish); that you  
receive source code or can get it if you want it;  
that you can change the software and use pieces  
of it in new free programs; and that you are  
informed that you can do these things.  
How to Apply These Terms to Your  
New Programs  
If you develop a new program, and you want it to  
be of the greatest possible use to the public, the  
best way to achieve this is to make it free  
software which everyone can redistribute and  
change under these terms.  
To do so, attach the following notices to the  
program. It is safest to attach them to the start of  
each source file to most effectively convey the  
exclusion of warranty; and each file should have  
at least the “copyright” line and a pointer to  
where the full notice is found.  
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program  
is restricted in certain countries either by  
patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the  
original copyright holder who places the  
Program under this License may add an  
explicit geographical distribution limitation  
excluding those countries, so that  
distribution is permitted only in or among  
countries not thus excluded. In such case,  
this License incorporates the limitation as if  
written in the body of this License.  
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish  
revised and/or new versions of the General  
Public License from time to time. Such new  
versions will be similar in spirit to the  
present version, but may differ in detail to  
address new problems or concerns.

This program is free software; you can  
redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of  
the GNU General Public License as published by  
the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of  
the License, or (at your option) any later version.  
This program is distributed in the hope that it will  
be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY;  
without even the implied warranty of  
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A  
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU  
General Public License for more details.  
You should have received a copy of the GNU  
General Public License along with this program;  
if not, write to the Free Software Foundation,  
Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA  
02111-1307, USA.  
Each version is given a distinguishing  
version number. If the Program specifies a  
version number of this License which  
applies to it and “any later version”, you  
have the option of following the terms and  
conditions either of that version or of any  
later version published by the Free Software  
Foundation. If the Program does not specify  
a version number of this License, you may  
choose any version ever published by the  
Free Software Foundation.  
To protect your rights, we need to make  
restrictions that forbid distributors to deny you  
these rights or to ask you to surrender these  
rights. These restrictions translate to certain  
responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of  
the library or if you modify it.  
For example, if you distribute copies of the  
library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give  
the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You  
must make sure that they, too, receive or can get  
the source code. If you link other code with the  
library, you must provide complete object files to  
the recipients, so that they can relink them with  
the library after making changes to the library

Program into other free programs whose  
distribution conditions are different, write to  
the author to ask for permission. For

reasonably considered independent and  
separate works in themselves, then this  
License, and its terms, do not apply to those  
sections when you distribute them as  
separate works. But when you distribute the  
same sections as part of a whole which is a  
work based on the Library, the distribution  
of the whole must be on the terms of this  
license, whose permissions for other  
licensees extend to the entire whole, and  
thus to each and every part regardless of  
who wrote it.  
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to  
claim rights or contest your rights to work  
written entirely by you; rather, the intent is  
to exercise the right to control the  
distribution of derivative or collective  
works based on the Library. In addition,  
mere aggregation of another work not based  
on the Library with the Library (or with a  
work based on the Library) on a volume of a  
storage or distribution medium does not  
bring the other work under the scope of this  
License.  
We protect your rights with a two-step method:  
(1) we copyright the library, and (2) we offer you  
this license, which gives you legal permission to  
copy, distribute and/or modify the library.  
To protect each distributor, we want to make it  
very clear that there is no warranty for the free  
library. Also, if the library is modified by  
someone else and passed on, the recipients  
should know that what they have is not the  
original version, so that the original author’s  
reputation will not be affected by problems that  
might be introduced by others.  
Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to  
the existence of any free program. We wish to  
make sure that a company cannot effectively  
restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a  
restrictive license from a patent holder.  
Therefore, we insist that any patent license  
obtained for a version of the library must be  
consistent with the full freedom of use specified  
in this license. Most GNU software, including  
some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU  
General Public License. This license, the GNU  
Lesser General Public License, applies to certain  
designated libraries, and is quite different from  
the ordinary General Public License. We use this  
license for certain libraries in order to permit  
linking those libraries into non-free programs.  
When a program is linked with a library, whether  
statically or using a shared library, the  
combination of the two is legally speaking a  
combined work, a derivative of the original  
library. The ordinary General Public License  
therefore permits such linking only if the entire  
combination fits its criteria of freedom. The  
Lesser General Public License permits more lax  
criteria for linking other code with the library.  
We call this license the “Lesser” General Public  
License because it does Less to protect the user’s  
freedom than the ordinary General Public  
License. It also provides other free software  
developers Less of an advantage over competing  
non-free programs. These disadvantages are the  
reason we use the ordinary General Public  
License for many libraries. However, the Lesser  
license provides advantages in certain special  
circumstances.  
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a  
special need to encourage the widest possible use  
of a certain library, so that it becomes a de facto  
standard. To achieve this, non-free programs  
must be allowed to use the library.  
A more frequent case is that a free library does  
the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In  
this case, there is little to gain by limiting the free  
library to free software only, so we use the Lesser  
General Public License.  
In other cases, permission to use a particular  
library in non-free programs enables a greater  
number of people to use a large body of free  
software. For example, permission to use the  
GNU C Library in non-free programs enables  
many more people to use the whole GNU  
operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/  
Linux operating system.  
Although the Lesser General Public License is  
Less protective of the users’ freedom, it does  
ensure that the user of a program that is linked  
with the Library has the freedom and the  
wherewithal to run that program using a  
modified version of the Library.  
A “library” means a collection of software  
functions and/or data prepared so as to be  
conveniently linked with application  
programs (which use some of those  
functions and data) to form executables.  
The “Library”, below, refers to any such  
software library or work which has been  
distributed under these terms. A “work  
based on the Library” means either the  
Library or any derivative work under  
copyright law: that is to say, a work  
containing the Library or a portion of it,  
either verbatim or with modifications and/or  
translated straightforwardly into another  
language. (Hereinafter, translation is  
included without limitation in the term  
“modification”.)  
“Source code” for a work means the  
preferred form of the work for making  
modifications to it. For a library, complete  
source code means all the source code for all  
modules it contains, plus any associated  
interface definition files, plus the scripts  
used to control compilation and installation  
of the library.  
3. You may opt to apply the terms of the  
ordinary GNU General Public License  
instead of this License to a given copy of the  
Library. To do this, you must alter all the  
notices that refer to this License, so that they  
refer to the ordinary GNU General Public  
License, version 2, instead of to this  
License. (If a newer version than version 2  
of the ordinary GNU General Public  
License has appeared, then you can specify  
that version instead if you wish.) Do not  
make any other change in these notices.  
Once this change is made in a given copy, it  
is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary  
GNU General Public License applies to all  
subsequent copies and derivative works  
made from that copy. This option is useful  
when you wish to copy part of the code of  
the Library into a program that is not a  
library.  
4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or  
a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2)  
in object code or executable form under the  
terms of Sections1 and 2 above provided  
that you accompany it with the complete  
corresponding machine-readable source  
code, which must be distributed under the  
terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a  
medium customarily used for software  
interchange.  
Activities other than copying, distribution  
and modification are not covered by this  
License; they are outside its scope. The act  
of running a program using the Library is  
not restricted, and output from such a  
program is covered only if its contents  
constitute a work based on the Library  
(independent of the use of the Library in a  
tool for writing it). Whether that is true  
depends on what the Library does and what  
the program that uses the Library does.  
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim  
copies of the Library’s complete source  
code as you receive it, in any medium,  
provided that you conspicuously and  
appropriately publish on each copy an  
appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer  
of warranty; keep intact all the notices that  
refer to this License and to the absence of  
any warranty; and distribute a copy of this  
License along with the Library.  
You may charge a fee for the physical act of  
transferring a copy, and you may at your  
option offer warranty protection in  
exchange for a fee.  
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the  
Library or any portion of it, thus forming a  
work based on the Library, and copy and  
distribute such modifications or work under  
the terms of Section 1 above, provided that  
you also meet all of these conditions:  
a) The modified work must itself be a  
software library.  
If distribution of object code is made by  
offering access to copy from a designated  
place, then offering equivalent access to  
copy the source code from the same place  
satisfies the requirement to distribute the  
source code, even though third parties are  
not compelled to copy the source along with  
the object code.  
b) You must cause the files modified to  
carry prominent notices stating that you  
changed the files and the date of any  
change.  
5. A program that contains no derivative of  
any portion of the Library, but is designed to  
work with the Library by being compiled or  
linked with it, is called a “work that uses the  
Library”. Such a work, in isolation, is not a  
derivative work of the Library, and  
c) You must cause the whole of the work  
to be licensed at no charge to all third  
parties under the terms of this License.  
d) If a facility in the modified Library  
refers to a function or a table of data to  
be supplied by an application program  
that uses the facility, other than as an  
argument passed when the facility is  
invoked, then you must make a good  
faith effort to ensure that, in the event  
an application does not supply such  
function or table, the facility still  
therefore falls outside the scope of this  
License. However, linking a “work that uses  
the Library” with the Library creates an  
executable that is a derivative of the Library  
(because it contains portions of the Library),  
rather than a “work that uses the library”.  
The executable is therefore covered by this  
License. Section 6 states terms for  
The precise terms and conditions for copying,  
distribution and modification follow. Pay close  
attention to the difference between a “work based  
on the library” and a “work that uses the library”.  
The former contains code derived from the  
library, whereas the latter must be combined with  
the library in order to run.  
operates, and performs whatever part of  
its purpose remains meaningful.  
distribution of such executables.  
When a “work that uses the Library” uses  
material from a header file that is part of the  
Library, the object code for the work may be  
a derivative work of the Library even  
though the source code is not. Whether this  
is true is especially significant if the work  
can be linked without the Library, or if the  
work is itself a library. The threshold for this  
to be true is not precisely defined by law.  
If such an object file uses only numerical  
parameters, data structure layouts and

compute square roots has a purpose that is  
entirely well-defined independent of the

requires that any application-supplied  
function or table used by this function must  
be optional: if the application does not  
supply it, the square root function must still

apply to the modified work as a whole. If

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING,  
DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION  
0. This License Agreement applies to any  
software library or other program which  
contains a notice placed by the copyright  
holder or other authorized party saying it  
may be distributed under the terms of this  
Lesser General Public License (also called

regardless of whether it is legally a  
derivative work. (Executables containing  
this object code plus portions of the Library  
will still fall under Section 6.)  
component itself accompanies the  
executable.  
It is not the purpose of this section to induce  
you to infringe any patents or other property  
right claims or to contest validity of any  
such claims; this section has the sole  
purpose of protecting the integrity of the  
free software distribution system which is  
implemented by public license practices.  
Many people have made generous  
contributions to the wide range of software  
distributed through that system in reliance  
on consistent application of that system; it is  
up to the author/donor to decide if he or she  
is willing to distribute software through any  
other system and a licensee cannot impose  
that choice.  
It may happen that this requirement  
contradicts the license restrictions of  
other proprietary libraries that do not  
normally accompany the operating  
system. Such a contradiction means  
you cannot use both them and the  
Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the  
Library, you may distribute the object code  
for the work under the terms of Section 6.  
Any executables containing that work also  
fall under Section 6, whether or not they are  
linked directly with the Library itself.  
6. As an exception to the Sections above, you  
may also combine or link a “work that uses  
the Library” with the Library to produce a  
work containing portions of the Library, and  
distribute that work under terms of your  
choice, provided that the terms permit  
modification of the work for the customer’s  
own use and reverse engineering for  
debugging such modifications.  
Library together in an executable that  
you distribute.  
7. You may place library facilities that are a  
work based on the Library side-by-side in a  
single library together with other library  
facilities not covered by this License, and  
distribute such a combined library, provided  
that the separate distribution of the work  
based on the Library and of the other library  
facilities is otherwise permitted, and  
provided that you do these two things:  
a) Accompany the combined library with  
a copy of the same work based on the  
Library, uncombined with any other  
library facilities. This must be  
This section is intended to make thoroughly  
clear what is believed to be a consequence  
of the rest of this License.  
12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library  
is restricted in certain countries either by  
patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the  
original copyright holder who places the  
Library under this License may add an  
explicit geographical distribution limitation  
excluding those countries, so that  
You must give prominent notice with each  
copy of the work that the Library is used in  
it and that the Library and its use are covered  
by this License. You must supply a copy of  
this License. If the work during execution  
displays copyright notices, you must include  
the copyright notice for the Library among  
them, as well as a reference directing the  
user to the copy of this License.  
distributed under the terms of the  
Sections above.  
b) Give prominent notice with the  
combined library of the fact that part of  
it is a work based on the Library, and  
explaining where to find the  
distribution is permitted only in or among  
countries not thus excluded. In such case,  
this License incorporates the limitation as if  
written in the body of this License.  
Also, you must do one of these things:  
a) Accompany the work with the  
complete corresponding machine-  
readable source code for the Library  
including whatever changes were used  
in the work (which must be distributed  
under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if  
the work is an executable linked with  
the Library, with the complete  
accompanying uncombined form of the  
same work.  
13. The Free Software Foundation may publish  
revised and/or new versions of the Lesser  
General Public License from time to time.  
Such new versions will be similar in spirit to  
the present version, but may differ in detail  
to address new problems or concerns.  
Each version is given a distinguishing  
version number. If the Library specifies a  
version number of this License which  
applies to it and “any later version”, you  
have the option of following the terms and  
conditions either of that version or of any  
later version published by the Free Software  
Foundation. If the Library does not specify  
a license version number, you may choose  
any version ever published by the Free  
Software Foundation.  
8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link  
with, or distribute the Library except as  
expressly provided under this License. Any  
attempt otherwise to copy, modify,  
sublicense, link with, or distribute the  
Library is void, and will automatically  
terminate your rights under this License.  
However, parties who have received copies,  
or rights, from you under this License will  
not have their licenses terminated so long as  
such parties remain in full compliance.  
9. You are not required to accept this License,  
since you have not signed it. However,  
nothing else grants you permission to  
modify or distribute the Library or its  
derivative works. These actions are  
prohibited by law if you do not accept this  
License. Therefore, by modifying or  
distributing the Library(or any work based  
on the Library), you indicate your  
machine-readable “work that uses the  
Library”, as object code and/or source  
code, so that the user can modify the  
Library and then relink to produce a  
modified executable containing the  
modified Library. (It is understood that  
the user who changes the contents of  
definitions files in the Library will not  
necessarily be able to recompile the  
application to use the modified  
14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the  
Library into other free programs whose  
distribution conditions are incompatible  
with these, write to the author to ask for  
permission. For software which is  
definitions.)  
b) Use a suitable shared library  
mechanism for linking with the  
Library. A suitable mechanism is one  
that (1) uses at run time a copy of the  
library already present on the user’s  
computer system, rather than copying  
library functions into the executable,  
and (2) will operate properly with a  
modified version of the library, if the  
user installs one, as long as the  
acceptance of this License to do so, and all  
its terms and conditions for copying,  
distributing or modifying the Library or  
works based on it.

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS  
How to Apply These Terms to Your  
New Libraries  
The word 'cryptographic' can be left out if  
the rouines from the library being used are  
not cryptographic related :-).  
If you develop a new library, and you want it to  
be of the greatest possible use to the public, we  
recommend making it free software that  
everyone can redistribute and change. You can  
do so by permitting redistribution under these  
terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the  
ordinary General Public License).  
To apply these terms, attach the following  
notices to the library. It is safest to attach them to  
the start of each source file to most effectively  
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file  
should have at least the “copyright” line and a  
pointer to where the full notice is found.  
<one line to give the library’s name and an  
idea of what it does.>  
4. If you include any Windows specific code  
(or a derivative thereof) from the apps  
directory (application code) you must  
include an acknowledgement:

“Advanced Access Content System” is a  
specification for managing digital  
entertainment contents stored on the next  
generation of prerecorded and recorded  
optical media. The specification enables  
consumers to enjoy digital entertainment  
content, including high-definition  
content.  
Digital audio compression technology  
that DTS, Inc. developed. This  
technology conforms to multi-channel  
surround sound. The rear channel is  
stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer  
channel in this format. DTS provides the  
same discrete channels of high quality  
digital audio.  
Blu-ray Disc (BD) (page 5)  
Good channel separation is realized  
because all of the channel data is  
recorded discretely and little  
deterioration occurs because all channel  
data processing is digital.  
A disc format developed for recording/  
playing high-definition (HD) video (for  
HDTV, etc.), and for storing large  
amounts of data. A single layer Blu-ray  
Disc holds up to 25 GB, and a dual-layer  
Blu-ray Disc holds up to 50 GB of data.  
The AVCHD format is a high definition  
digital video camera format used to  
record SD (standard definition) or HD  
(high definition) signals of either the

DTS-HD is an extended format of the  
Coherent Acoustics audio coding  
system, which also encompasses DTS  
Digital Surround, DTS-ES, and DTS 96/

supporting the number of discrete  
surround sound channels. While 7.1ch  
surround sound is planned for Blu-ray

data compression coding technology.  
The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is  
adopted to compress video data, and the  
Dolby Digital or Linear PCM is used to  
compress audio data. The MPEG-4  
AVC/H.264 format is capable of  
compressing images at higher efficiency  
than that of the conventional image  
compression format. The MPEG-4  
AVC/ H.264 format enables a high  
definition (HD) video signal shot on a  
digital video camera recorder to be  
recorded on DVDs in the same way as  
for a standard definition (SD) television  
Sections of a picture or a music feature  
that are smaller than titles. A title is  
composed of several chapters.  
Depending on the disc, no chapters may  
be recorded.  
Dolby Digital (page 47)  
Digital audio compression technology  
developed by Dolby Laboratories. This  
technology conforms to multi-channel  
surround sound. The rear channel is  
stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer  
channel in this format. Dolby Digital  
provides the same discrete channels of  
high quality digital audio found in  
“Dolby Digital” theater surround sound  
systems. Good channel separation is  
realized because all of the channel data is  
recorded discretely and little  
downmixed to 5.1 or 2 channels for  
backward compatibility, and the  
reproduced audio quality can either be at  
the bit rate of DTS Digital Surround or  
the lossless mode.

A disc format that contains up to eight  
hours of moving pictures on a disc the  
same diameter as a CD. A single-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

BD-J application  
Dolby Digital Plus (page 48)  
Developed as an extension to Dolby  
Digital, the audio coding technology  
supports 7.1 multi-channel surround  
sound.  
The BD-ROM format supports Java for  
interactive functions.  
“BD-J” offers content providers almost  
unlimited functionality when creating  
interactive BD-ROM titles.

adopted for reproducing high-quality  
pictures. Audio information is recorded  
in a multi-channel format, such as Dolby  
Digital, allowing for a realistic audio  
presence.  
Dolby Surround (Pro Logic)  
BD-R  
BD-R (Blu-ray Disc Recordable) is a  
recordable, write-once Blu-ray Disc,  
available in the same capacities as the  
BD below. Since contents can be  
recorded and cannot be overwritten, a  
BD-R can be used to archive valuable  
data or storing and distributing video  
material.  
Audio signal processing technology that  
Dolby Laboratories developed for  
surround sound. When the input signal  
contains a surround component, the Pro  
Logic process outputs the front, center  
and rear signals. The rear channel is  
monaural.  
BD-RE  
BD-RE (Blu-ray Disc Rewritable) is a  
recordable and rewritable Blu-ray Disc,  
available in the same capacities as the  
BD below. The re-recordable feature  
makes extensive editing and time-  
shifting applications possible.

Interlace format  
A DVD-R is a recordable disc that is the  
same size as a DVD VIDEO. Contents  
can be recorded only once to a DVD-R,  
and will have the same format as a DVD  
VIDEO. The DVD-R has two different  
modes: VR mode and Video mode.  
DVDs created in Video mode have the  
same format as a DVD VIDEO, while  
discs created in VR (Video Recording)  
mode allow the contents to be  
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 number field  
shows the even numbered lines of an  
image, and the odd numbered field  
shows the odd numbered lines of an  
image.

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.  
A DVD+RW (read “plus RW”) is a  
recordable and rewritable disc.  
DVD+RWs use a recording format that  
is comparable to the DVD VIDEO  
format.
