Checking the Play Information (ADVANCED)

You can check information such as the bit rate or the disc layer that is being played. While playing a disc, an approximate bit rate of the playback picture is always displayed as Mbps (Mega bit per second) and the audio as kbps (kilo bit per second).

Bit rate refers to the amount of video/audio data per second in a disc. The higher the bit rate, the larger the amount of data. When the bit rate level is high, there is a large 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 79 (DVD).
