Memorex MVBD2520 user manual Features, BD-ROM Playback

FEATURES

This unit has many features, some are outlined below. Please read the owner’s manual to take full advantage of all the features this unit has to offer.

•BD-ROM Playback

BD-ROM is a next generation optical disc format in the HD era. Featuring massive storage capacity of 25 to 50 GB (five times larger than a DVD) and a high-speed transfer rate of up to 54 Mbps, this format offers not only uncompromised HD quality video*†, but also enables rich bonus content on a single disc and HD quality

audio up to 8ch, and interactive operability.

* A compatible HD display device is necessary to enjoy the same quality.

† Some discs allow viewing only with an HDMI connection.

•24p True Cinema

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.

•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. Java and all Java-based trademarks and logos are trademarks or registered trademarks of Sun Microsystems, Inc. in the U.S. and other countries.

•BD-Live

Some BD-ROM discs labelled, “BD-Live” contain interactive information, trivia games, etc. The player must be connected to the internet as described later in this manual.

•Firmware Update

Firmware is software in the player that controls the unit’s microprocessor. The software (firmware) can be downloaded from www.memorex.com and then copied to a CD or DVD. The firmware can be updated from the CD/DVD only. We recommend updating to the latest firmware to enhance the product’s operation and/or add new features.

•HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) digital interface

When connected to an HDMI-equipped display device using a single HDMI cord, the player can output both SD to HD video and multi-channel audio signals, in digital form without degradation. The HDMI specification supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), a copy protection technology that incorporates coding technology for digital video signals.
