Glossary

Linear PCM Sound

Linear PCM is a signal recording format used for Audio CDs and on some DVD and Blu-ray discs. The sound on Audio CDs is recorded at 44.1 kHz with 16 bits. (Sound is recorded between 48 kHz with 16 bits and 96 kHz with 24 bits on DVD video discs and between 48 kHz with 16 bits and 192 kHz with 24 bits on BD video discs.)

MPEG-2

MPEG-2 (Moving Picture Experts Group phase 2) is one of the video data compression schemes, which is adopted for DVD videos and digital broadcasts worldwide. Some Blu-ray Discs also use high bitrate MPEG-2.

Resume playback (page 24)

If you stop playback while it is in progress, the Player stores the stop position in memory, and this function lets you playback from that point.

Skip (page 28)

This returns to the start of the chapter (or track) being played, or skips to the next chapter (or track).

Subtitles (pages 29, 32, 33)

These are the lines of text appearing at the bottom of the screen which translate or transcribe the dialog. They are recorded on many DVD and BD video discs.

Multi Angle (pages 30, 32)

This is a feature of DVD and BD video discs. In some discs, the same scene is shot from different angles, and these are stored in a single disc so you can enjoy playback from each angle. (This function can be enjoyed if the disc is recorded with multiple angles.)

Multi Audio

This is a feature of DVD and BD video discs. This function makes it possible to record different audio tracks for the same video, so you can enhance your enjoyment by switching the audio. (You can enjoy this function with discs recorded with multiple audio tracks.)

Pan Scan (PS 4:3) (page 35)

A screen size that cuts off the sides of the image to allow viewing of wide-screen (16:9) material on a connected 4:3 TV.

Parental control (page 36)

In some digital broadcasts and BD/DVD video discs, a control level for disc viewing is set depending on the age of the viewer. With this Player, you can set the control level for viewing such broadcasts and discs.

Pop-up menu (page 25)

An enhanced menu operation available on BD video discs. The pop-up menu appears when POP-UP MENU is pressed during playback, and can be operated while playback is in progress.

Time number

This indicates the play time which has elapsed from the start of a disc or a title. It can be used to find a specific scene quickly. (It may not work with some discs.)

Title number (pages 32, 33)

These numbers are recorded on DVD and Blu-ray discs. When a disc contains two or more movies, these movies are numbered as title 1, title 2, etc.

Top menu (page 24)

In a BD/DVD video, this is the menu for selecting things like the chapter to be played back and the subtitle language. In some DVD videos, the top menu may be called the “Title Menu”.

Track number

These numbers are assigned to the tracks which are recorded on audio CDs. They enable specific tracks to be located quickly.

x.v.Color

x.v.Color reproduces a greater range of color than before, showing almost all of the colors that the human eye can detect.

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 30 frames/60 fields in one second, the Progressive format can show 60 frames in one second. The overall picture quality increases and still images, text, and horizontal lines appear sharper.

Region code (page 7)

Code identifying a geographic region of compatibility for a BD/DVD.

Remote control code (page 21)

This is the type of the remote control signal for operating the Player. There are three types of remote control signals: “Remote Control No. 1” (RC-1), “Remote Control No. 2” (RC- 2) and “Remote Control No. 3” (RC-3).
