07Deep Color

This is one of the capabilities of HDMI™. The players supporting Deep Color can transmit a video signal with a color bit depth of greater than 8 bits per color component. Subtle color gradations can be reproduced when connected to a TV that supports Deep Color.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is an audio format to record the sound in up to 5.1 channels with a fraction of the amount of data as compared to linear PCM audio signals.

Dolby Digital Plus

Dolby Digital Plus is an audio format for high-definition media. Built on Dolby Digital, it combines the efficiency and flexibility to provide high quality multi-channel audio. With BD-ROMs, up to 7.1 channels of digital sound can be recorded.

Dolby TrueHD

Dolby TrueHD is an audio format using lossless coding. With BD- ROMs, up to 8 channels can be recorded at 96 kHz/24 bits, or up to 6 channels at 192 kHz/24 bits.

DRM

A technology for protecting copyrighted digital data. Digitized movies, images and music retain the same quality even when they are copied or transferred repeatedly. DRM is a technology for restricting the distribution or playback of such digital data without the authorization of the copyright holder.

DTS Digital Surround

DTS Digital Surround is an audio format to record 48 kHz/24 bits audio signals in 5.1 channels.

DTS-HD High Resolution Audio

DTS-HD High Resolution Audio is an audio format using lossy coding. It can record 7.1 channels at 96 kHz/24 bits.

DTS-HD Master Audio

DTS-HD Master Audio is an audio format using lossless coding. With BD-ROMs, 7.1 channels can be recorded at 96 kHz/24 bits, or 5.1 channels at 192 kHz/24 bits.

Dynamic range

This refers to the difference between the maximum and minimum level of the sound. The dynamic range is measured in units of decibels (dB).

When the dynamic range is compressed (Audio DRC), the minimum signal level is increased and the maximum signal level decreased. This way, the volume of loud sounds such as explosions is reduced, while the sounds with a low level, such as human voices, are easier to listen to.

Frames and fields

A frame is the unit for one of the still pictures which compose motion pictures. One frame consists of a picture of odd lines and a picture of even lines called fields in video signal with interlaced scan method (480i, 1080i, etc.).

HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)

60A technology for protecting copyrights that encrypts digital video En signals.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

Adigital interface standard for next-generation TVs expanding the DVI (Digital Video Interface) terminal used for example for computer displays. It allows transfer of non-compressed digital video and audio signals (Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Digital, DTS- HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, DTS Digital Surround, MPEG or linear PCM) with a single connector.

Interactive audio

The audio signals recorded in the titles of BD-ROMs. They include for example the clicking sound made when the menu screen is operated.

Interlaced scan

With this method, one picture is displayed by scanning it twice. The odd lines are displayed in the first pass, the even lines are displayed in the second, to form a single picture (frame). Interlaced scan is indicated in this player and operating instructions by an “i” after the resolution value (for example, 480i).

Linear PCM

This is referred as the audio signals that are not compressed, frequently used for DVD-Video discs containing musicals or music concerts. This can also be indicated “48 kHz/16 bit”, “96 kHz”, etc.

MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group)

The name of a family of standards used to encode video and audio signals in a digital compressed format. The video encoding standards include MPEG-1 Video, MPEG-2 Video, MPEG-4 Visual and MPEG-4 AVC. The audio encoding standards include MPEG-1 Audio, MPEG-2 Audio and MPEG-2 AAC.

Multi angle

Up to 9 camera angles can be recorded simultaneously on BD-ROM or DVD-Video discs, letting you watch the same scene from different angles.

Parental Lock

Playback of the contents of some BD-ROM or DVD-Video discs can be restricted, for example for discs containing scenes of violence. With BD-ROM discs, an age restriction can be set to restrict playback. Playing DVD-Video title can be restricted by setting the parental lock level.

Picture-in-Picture (P-in-P)

This is a function for superimposing a sub video on the main video. Some BD-ROMs include secondary video, which can be superimposed on the primary video.

Progressive scan

With this method, one picture is consisted of a single picture, without dividing it in two pictures. Progressive scan provides clear pictures with no flicker, in particular for still pictures that contain much text, graphics, or horizontal lines. Progressive scan is indicated in this player and operating instructions by a “p” after the resolution value (for example, 480p).

Region number

Anumber assigned to Blu-ray Disc Players, BD-ROM and DVD- Video discs according to the region in which they are sold. A disc can be played if the region numbers indicated on the disc include the number set for the player or if “ALL” is indicated.
