Sharp BD-HP90U Glossary Parental control Color, Pop-up menu, Progressive format, Region code

Glossary

Parental control (page 41) x.v.Color

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.

x.v.Color reproduces a greater range of color than before, showing almost all of the colors that the human eye can detect. (Applicable for JPEG files only with this system)

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.

VUDU (page 53–54)

VUDU is an on-demand video service for renting or buying movies that can be watched instantly on TV.
