Linear PCM is a signal recording format used for Audio CDs 
and on some DVD and Blu-ray discs. The sound on Audio 
CDs is recorded at 44.1 kHz with 16 bits. (Sound is recorded 
between 48 kHz with 16 bits and 96 kHz with 24 bits on DVD 
video discs and between 48 kHz with 16 bits and 192 kHz 
with 24 bits on BD video discs.)

MPEG-2 (Moving Picture Experts Group phase 2) is one of 
the video data compression schemes, which is adopted for 
DVD videos and digital broadcasts worldwide. Some Blu-ray 
Discs also use high bitrate MPEG-2.

This is a feature of DVD and BD video discs. In some discs, 
the same scene is shot from different angles, and these are 
stored in a single disc so you can enjoy playback from each 
angle. (This function can be enjoyed if the disc is recorded 
with multiple angles.)

This is a feature of DVD and BD video discs. This function 
makes it possible to record different audio tracks for the 
same video, so you can enhance your enjoyment by 
switching the audio. (You can enjoy this function with discs 
recorded with multiple audio tracks.)

A screen size that cuts off the sides of the image to allow 
viewing of wide-screen (16:9) material on a connected 4:3 TV.

In some digital broadcasts and BD/DVD video discs, a 
control level for disc viewing is set depending on the age of 
the viewer. With this Player, you can set the control level for 
viewing such broadcasts and discs.

An enhanced menu operation available on BD video discs. 
The pop-up menu appears when POP-UP MENU is pressed 
during playback, and can be operated while playback is in 
progress.

Compared to the Interlace format that alternately shows 
every other line of an image (fi eld) to create one frame, the 
Progressive format shows the entire image at once as a 
single frame. This means that while the Interlace format can 
show 30 frames/60 fi elds in one second, the Progressive 
format can show 60 frames in one second. The overall 
picture quality increases and still images, text, and horizontal 
lines appear sharper.

Code identifying a geographic region of compatibility for a 
BD/DVD.

This is the type of the remote control signal for operating 
the Player. There are three types of remote control signals: 
“Remote Control No. 1” (RC-1), “Remote Control No. 2” (RC-
2) and “Remote Control No. 3” (RC-3).

If you stop playback while it is in progress, the Player stores 
the stop position in memory, and this function lets you 
playback from that point.

This returns to the start of the chapter (or track) being played, 
or skips to the next chapter (or track).

These are the lines of text appearing at the bottom of the 
screen which translate or transcribe the dialogue. They are 
recorded on many DVD and BD video discs.

This indicates the play time which has elapsed from the start 
of a disc or a title. It can be used to fi nd a specifi c scene 
quickly. (It may not work with some discs.)

These numbers are recorded on DVD and Blu-ray discs. 
When a disc contains two or more movies, these movies are 
numbered as title 1, title 2, etc.

In a BD/DVD video, this is the menu for selecting things like 
the chapter to be played back and the subtitle language. In 
some DVD videos, the top menu may be called the “Title 
Menu”.

These numbers are assigned to the tracks which are 
recorded on audio CDs. They enable specifi c tracks to be 
located quickly.
