■About Disc Contents

BD Video

Enjoy BD-specific functions including BONUSVIEW (BD-ROM Profile 1 Version 1.1), such as picture-in-picture, and BD-LIVE (page 19). For the BD video discs compatible with BONUSVIEW/BD-LIVE, you can enjoy additional contents by copying the data from the discs or downloading it via the Internet. For instance, this function is capable of playing the original movie as the primary video while playing video commentary from the film director on a small screen as a secondary video.

Note:

●The available functions differ depending on the disc.

Title, Chapter andTrack

●Blu-ray discs and DVDs are divided into “Titles” and “Chapters”. If the disc has more than one movie on it, each movie would be a separate “Title”. “Chapters”, on the other hand, are subdivisions of titles. (See Example 1.)

●Audio CDs are divided into “Tracks”. You can think of a “Track” as one tune on an Audio CD. (See Example 2.)

Example 1: Blu-ray disc or DVD

Title 1		Title 2
Chapter 1	Chapter 2 Chapter 3	Chapter 1

Example 2: Audio CD

Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4
