“Blu-ray Disc” is a trademark. “Blu-ray Disc,” “DVD+RW,” “DVD-RW,” “DVD+R,” “DVDR,” “DVD VIDEO,” and “CD” logos are trademarks. Supported file formats (DATA DVD only) DVD+RWs/DVD-RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD-Rs are called “DATA DVD” in this manual when the discs contain playable files. The following file formats are supported:

• JPEG format conforming to UDF (Universal Disk Format). Notes about BD-ROM compatibility This player supports BD-ROM Profile 1 only. Playback of later versions and BDs other than BD-ROM is not guaranteed. Since the Blu-ray Disc specifications are new and evolving, some discs may not play depending on the disc type and the version. The audio output differs depending on the source, connected output jack, and selected audio settings. For details, see page 48. ,continued

Examples of discs that the player cannot play The player cannot play the following discs:

• DATA CDs (CD-Rs/CD-RWs other than music CD format).
• CD-ROMs recorded in PHOTO CD format.
• Data part of CD-Extras.
• HD layer on Super Audio CDs. Also, the player cannot play the following discs:

What is the AVCHD format? 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 specification*1 or the 720p specification*2 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. Notes

• Notes about DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs, or CD-Rs/ CD-RWs Some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs, or CD-Rs/ CD-RWs cannot be played on this player due to the recording quality or physical condition of the disc, or the characteristics of the recording device and authoring software. The DVD disc will not play if it has not been correctly finalized. For more information, refer to the operating instructions for the recording device. Note that some playback functions may not work with some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, even if they have been correctly finalized. In this case, view the disc by normal playback.
• Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies This product is designed to playback discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are being marketed by some record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not 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 about double-layer DVDs The playback pictures and sound may be momentarily interrupted when the layers switch.

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. AVCHD (page 6) 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 specification*1 or the 720p specification*2 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 utilizes1080 effective scanning lines and the interlace format. *2 A high definition specification that utilizes 720 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 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. 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 timeshifting applications possible.

BD-ROM (page 5) Dolby TrueHD (page 48) 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 (see below), 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 Bluray Disc players. 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. Blu-ray Disc (BD) (page 5) 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. DTS (page 47) 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. 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. DTS-HD (page 48) Chapter (page 25) 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” theatre surround sound systems. 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. Dolby Digital Plus (page 48) Developed as an extension to Dolby Digital, the audio coding technology supports 7.1 multi-channel surround sound. Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) (page 47) 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, centre and rear signals. The rear channel is monaural. DTS-HD is an extended format of the Coherent Acoustics audio coding system, which also encompasses DTS Digital Surround, DTS-ES, and DTS 96/

24. DTS-HD is highly flexible in

supporting the number of discrete surround sound channels. While 7.1ch surround sound is planned for Blu-ray Discs, the audio signals can be 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. DVD VIDEO (page 5) 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 GB; double-layer double-sided DVD, 17 GB. The MPEG 2 format is adopted for the efficient video data compression. The variable rate coding technology that changes the data to be allocated according to the status of the picture is 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. DVD-R (page 5) 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 programmed or edited. 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. DVD-RW (page 5) A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO. The DVD-RW 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 programmed or edited. DVD+R (page 5) DVD+RW (page 5) 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. Film-based software, Video-based software DVDs can be classified as Film-based or Video-based software. Film-based DVDs contain the same images (24 frames per second) that are shown at movie theatres. Video-based DVDs, such as television dramas or sitcoms, display images at 25 frames/50 fields (30 frames/60 fields) per second. One of the video data compression schemes established by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG), which is adopted for DVD VIDEOs and digital broadcasts worldwide. The scheme specifies MPEG-2 PS (Program Stream) for recordable media such as a DVD VIDEO, and MPEG-2 TS (Transport Stream) for digital broadcasts and other communications. Pop-up menu An enhanced menu operation available on BD-ROMs. The pop-up menu appears when MENU is pressed during playback, and can be operated while playback is in progress. Progressive format 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 25 or 30 frames (50-60 fields) in one second, the Progressive format can show 50-60 frames in one second. The overall picture quality increases and still images, text, and horizontal lines appear sharper. Title (page 26) The longest section of a picture or music feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video software, or the entire album in audio software.
