Bit rate refers to the amount of video/audio data per second in a disc. While playing a disc, an approximate bit rate of the playback picture is displayed as Mbps (Mega bit per second) and the audio as kbps (kilo bit per second). The higher the bit rate, the larger the amount of data. However, this does not always mean that you can get higher quality pictures or sounds.

◆LAYER

Appears when the DVD has dual layers

Indicates the approximate point where the disc is playing.

If it is a dual-layer DVD, the player indicates which layer is being read (“Layer 0” or “Layer 1”).

For details on the layers, see page 101 (DVD VIDEO).
