Pop-up menu (page 28)

 

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.

 

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 9)

 

Code identifying a geographic region of compatibility

 

for a BD/DVD.

 

Resume playback (page 27)

 

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 (pages 31, 32, 34)

 

This returns to the start of the chapter (or track) being

 

played, or skips to the next chapter (or track).

 

Subtitles (pages 36–38)

 

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.

 

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 37, 38)

 

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 28)

 

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 (pages 37, 38)

 

These numbers are assigned to the tracks which are

 

recorded on audio CDs. They enable specific tracks to

 

be located quickly.
