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 finalised.  
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.  
Video Output Resolution  
Output resolution differs depending on the “Output Video Format” setting in the “Video

– when you play a DVD that contains MPEG  
Audio.  
Since communication via the wireless LAN  
function is established by radio waves, the  
wireless signal may be susceptible to  
interception. To protect wireless  
communication, this player supports various  
security functions. Be sure to correctly  
configure the security settings in accordance  
with your network environment.  
No Security  
Although you can easily make settings,  
anyone can intercept wireless  
communication or intrude into your wireless  
network, even without any sophisticated  
tools. Keep in mind that there is a risk of  
unauthorized access or interception of data.  
WEP  
WEP applies security to communications to  
prevent outsiders from intercepting  
communications or intruding into your  
wireless network. WEP is a legacy security  
technology that enables older devices, which  
do not support TKIP/AES, to be connected.  
WPA-PSK (TKIP)  
TKIP is a security technology developed to  
correct for the deficiencies of WEP. TKIP  
assures a higher security level than WEP.  
WPA-PSK (AES), WPA2-PSK (AES)  
AES is a security technology that uses an  
advanced security method that is distinct  
from WEP and TKIP.  
AES assures a higher security level than  
WEP or TKIP.

Glossary  
AACS  
“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.  
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  
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.  
*1  
A high definition specification that utilises 1080  
effective scanning lines and the interlace format.  
A high definition specification that utilises 720  
*2  
effective scanning lines and the progressive  
format.  
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 (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.  
,continued  
83  
       
Dolby Digital Plus (page 77)  
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.  
Developed as an extension to Dolby Digital,  
the audio coding technology supports 7.1  
multi-channel surround sound.  
Dolby TrueHD (page 77)  
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.  
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 contents, these discs have  
enhanced features such as interactive content,  
menu operations using pop-up menus,  
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.  
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio (page 77)  
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).  
DTS-HD Master Audio (page 77)  
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.  
Blu-ray Disc (BD) (page 74)  
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.  
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia  
Interface) (page 17)  
Deep Colour (page 53)  
These are video signals for which the colour  
depth of signals passing through an HDMI  
jack have been enhanced. With a Non-Deep  
Colour-compatible player, the number of  
colours 1 pixel can express is 8 bits per  
component video signal (Y, PB/CB, PR/CR)  
(24 bits/16,777,216 colours). However, with  
a Deep Colour-compatible player, 1 pixel can  
express more bits, such as 12 bits per  
component video signal (Y, PB/CB, PR/CR)  
(36 bits). With more bits, the gradation of  
colour depth can be expressed more finely,  
and continuous colour changes will be  
displayed more smoothly.  
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 contents for HDMI.  
HD Reality Enhancer (HDMI) (page 41, 45)  
Sony-developed technology provides real-  
time parsing pixel-by-pixel, performs  
optimum smoothing, clarifies details,  
removes noise and achieves smoother  
gradation in video signals during playback.  
DLNA (page 47, 66)  
The “Digital Living Network Alliance” is a  
non-profit organization that formulates  
DLNA Interoperability Guidelines for  
sharing digital content via a network.  
For details, visit the following website:  
LTH (Low to High) (page 75)  
LTH is a recording system that supports  
organic pigment type BD-R.

PhotoTV HD (page 46)  
24p True Cinema (page 52)  
Movies shot with a film camera consist of 24  
frames per second.  
“PhotoTV HD” allows for a highly-detailed  
pictures, and photo-like expression of subtle  
textures and colours. 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.  
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.  
Pop-up menu (page 38)  
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.  
Super Bit Mapping (page 53)  
It is possible to achieve smoother gradation  
by putting 14 bits of information into an 8-bit  
video signal. This Sony-developed  
technology takes into account human vision  
characteristics.  
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (page 27, 33)  
The Wi-Fi Protected Setup specification  
easily sets the security of wireless home  
networks.  
There are 2 ways to use the Wi-Fi Protected  
Setup function:  
– The Push Button Configuration method,  
using the WPS button on the wireless LAN  
router (access point)  
– The PIN method, using a PIN code  
x.v.Colour is a familiar term for the xvYCC  
standard proposed by Sony.  
xvYCC is an international standard for colour  
space in video.  
This standard can express a wider colour  
range than the currently used broadcast  
standard.
