About playback of discs recorded in

AVCHD format

This player can play AVCHD format discs.

What is the AVCHD format?

The AVCHD format is a high-definition digital

video camera format used to record SD (standard

definition) or HD (high definition) signals of either

the 1080i specification*1 or the 720p

specification*2 on DVDs, using efficient data

compression coding technology. The MPEG-4

AVC/H.264 format is adopted to compress video

data, and the Dolby Digital or Linear PCM system

is used to compress audio data. The MPEG-4 AVC/

H.264 format is capable of compressing images at

higher efficiency than that of the conventional

image compressing format. The MPEG-4 AVC/

H.264 format enables a high definition (HD) video

signal shot on a digital video camera recorder to be

recorded on DVD discs, in the same way as it would

be for a standard definition (SD) television signal.

*1 A high-definition specification which utilizes

1080 effective scanning lines and the interlace

system.

*2 A high-definition specification which utilizes

720 effective scanning lines and the progressive

system.
