• Keep the external memory away from small
children to prevent them from accidentally
swallowing the external memory.
• Do not apply too much pressure to the external
memory in the slot, as it may cause a malfunction.
• We recommend use of the Sony USM2GL

front panel display when turning the player
on.
• Do not connect anything other than a USB flash
memory to the EXT slot.
• To avoid data corruption or damage to the
external memory, turn the player off when
inserting or removing the external memory.

What is the AVCHD format?
• 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.
The AVCHD format is a high-definition digital
video camera format used to record SD (standard
definition) or HD (high definition) signals of either
*1
the 1080i specification or the 720p
*2
specification on DVDs, using efficient data
compression 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.

BD-RE (page 62)
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.
Glossary
AACS
“Advanced Access Content System” is a
specification for managing digital
entertainment content stored on the next
generation of prerecorded and recorded
optical media. The specification enables
consumers to enjoy digital entertainment
content, including high-definition content.
BD-ROM (page 62)
BD-ROMs (Blu-ray Disc Read-Only
Memory) are commercially produced discs
and are available in the same capacities as the
BD below. Other than conventional movie
and video content, these discs have enhanced
features such as interactive content, menu
operations using the pop-up menu, selection
of subtitle display, and slideshow. Although a
BD-ROM may contain any form of data,
most BD-ROM discs will contain movies in
High Definition format, for playback on Blu-
ray Disc/DVD players.
AVCHD (page 64)
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 1080i
*1
*2
specification or the 720p specification on
DVDs, using efficient 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
Blu-ray Disc (BD) (page 62)
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.
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 signal.
BRAVIA Internet Video (page 35)
BRAVIA Internet Video delivers streaming
video, audio, or other Internet content to the
device, creating a TV viewing experience
using content from the Internet.
*1
A high definition specification that utilizes 1080
effective scanning lines and the interlace format.
A high definition specification that utilizes 720
*2
effective scanning lines and the progressive
format.
Deep Color (page 46)
These are video signals for which the color
depth of signals passing through an HDMI
jack have been enhanced. With a Non-Deep
Color-compatible player, the number of
colors 1 pixel can express is 8 bits per
component video signal (Y, PB, PR) (24 bits/
16,777,216 colors). However, with a Deep
Color-compatible player, 1 pixel can express
more bits, such as 12 bits per component
video signal (Y, PB, PR) (36 bits). With more
bits, the gradation of color depth can be
expressed more finely, and continuous color
changes will be displayed more smoothly.
BD-J application
The BD-ROM format supports Java for
interactive functions.
“BD-J” offers content providers almost
unlimited functionality when creating
interactive BD-ROM titles.
BD-R (page 62)
BD-R (Blu-ray Disc Recordable) is a
recordable, write-once Blu-ray Disc,
available in the same capacities as the BD
below. Since content can be recorded and
cannot be overwritten, a BD-R can be used to
archive valuable data or storing and
distributing video material.

Dolby Digital Plus
PhotoTV HD (page 39)
Developed as an extension to Dolby Digital,
the audio coding technology supports 7.1
multi-channel surround sound.
“PhotoTV HD” allows for a highly-detailed
pictures, and photo-like expression of subtle
textures and colors. By connecting Sony
“PhotoTV HD” compatible devices using an
HDMI cable, whole new world of photos can
be enjoyed in breathtaking Full HD quality.
For instance, the delicate texture of the
human skin, flowers, sand and waves can
now be displayed on a large screen in
beautiful photo-like quality.
Dolby TrueHD
Dolby TrueHD is a lossless coding
technology that supports up to 8 channels of
multi-channel surround sound for the next
generation optical discs. The reproduced
sound is true to the original source bit-for-bit.
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio
Developed as an extension to DTS Digital
Surround format. It supports a maximum
sampling frequency of 96 kHz, and 7.1 multi-
channel surround.
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio has a
maximum transmission rate of 6 Mbps, with
lossy compression (Lossy).
Pop-up menu (page 32)
An enhanced menu operation available on
BD-ROMs. The pop-up menu appears when
POP UP/MENU is pressed during playback,
and can be operated while playback is in
progress.
x.v.Color (page 46)
x.v.Color is a familiar term for the xvYCC
standard proposed by Sony.
DTS-HD Master Audio
DTS-HD Master Audio has a maximum
transmission rate of 24.5 Mbps, and uses
lossless compression (Lossless), and DTS-
HD Master Audio corresponds to a maximum
sampling frequency of 192 kHz, and
maximum of 7.1ch.
xvYCC is an international standard for color
space in video.
This standard can express a wider color range
than the currently used broadcast standard.
24p True Cinema (page 45)
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 (High-Definition Multimedia
Interface) (page 15)
HDMI is an interface that supports both video
and audio on a single digital connection. The
HDMI connection carries standard- to high-
definition video signals and multi-channel
audio signals to AV components such as
HDMI equipped TVs, in digital form without
degradation.
The HDMI specification supports HDCP
(High-bandwidth Digital Contents
Protection), a copy protection technology for
digital entertainment content for HDMI.
LTH (Low to High) (page 63)
LTH is a recording system that supports
organic pigment type BD-R.
