About Disc Contents
MPEG
Title, Chapter and Track
• 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.)
MPEG Audio gives movie theater ambience to audio
output when the Player is connected to an MPEG Audio
5.1 channel processor or amplifier.
NOTE
• Audio CDs are divided into “Tracks”. You can think of a “Track” as
one tune on an Audio CD. (See Example 2.)
• This Player supports 2-channel (L/R) audio and 5.1 ch (Multi-
channel) MPEG Audio 1/2 (only when the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
OPTICAL/COAXIAL jack is used for connection). It does not
support 7.1 channel MPEG Audio Ver.2.0.

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 6)
Code identifying a geographic region of compatibility for a
BD/DVD.
