BD/DVD region code

Your player has a region code printed on the back of the unit and only will play BD-ROM/DVD VIDEOs (playback only) labelled with identical region codes. This system is used to protect copyrights.

DVD VIDEOs labelled ALL will also play on this player.

Depending on the BD-ROM/DVD VIDEO, there may be no region code indication, even though playing the BD-ROM/DVD VIDEO is prohibited by area restrictions.

Main Features

Experience the high definition (HD) quality audio/video output and the library function of this Blu-ray Disc Player.

BD-ROM playback

BD-ROM is a next generation optical disc format in the HD era. Featuring massive storage capacity of 25 to 50 GB (five times larger than a DVD) and a high-speed transfer rate of up to 54 Mbps, the format offers not only uncompromised HD quality video*1*2, but also enables rich bonus content on a single disc and HD quality audio up to 8ch, and interactive operability.

*1 A compatible HD display device is necessary to enjoy the same quality.

*2 Some discs allow viewing only with an HDMI connection.

24p True Cinema

Movies shot with a film camera consist of 24 frames per second. Since conventional televisions (both CRT and flat panels) display frames either at 1/60 or 1/50 second intervals, the 24 frames do not appear at an even pace.

When connected to a TV with 24p capabilities, the player displays each frame at 1/24 second intervals — the same interval originally shot with the film camera, thus faithfully reproducing the original cinema image.

HDMI Control (‘BRAVIA’ Theatre Sync)

‘BRAVIA’ Theatre Sync Function makes operations simple by connecting Sony components that are compatible with the HDMI Control function with an HDMI cord (not supplied).

BD-J application

The BD-ROM format supports Java for interactive functions. “BD-J” offers content providers almost unlimited functionality when creating interactive BD-ROM titles*.

* This player does not support downloadable BD-J content.

Support of uncompressed multi-channel LinearPCM

In combination with a compatible AV amplifier, the player can output up to 8ch Linear PCM surround sound*. With a non- compatible amplifier, the player can output 5.1ch analog signals from its 5.1CH OUTPUT jack for high quality audio enjoyment.

*Note that the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack does not output 8ch signals. You will need an HDMI cord and an HDMI- compatible device that support 8ch signals.

AVCHD format disc playback

The player supports AVCHD format files–high definition recordings made on AVCHD-compatible camcorders. Your high definition personal archive is readily playable in HD quality.
