This unit has many features, some are outlined below. Please read the owner’s manual to take full advantage of
all the features this unit has to offer.
• 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, this format offers not
only uncompromised HD quality video*
†
, but also enables rich bonus content on a single disc and HD quality
audio up to 8ch, and interactive operability.
* A compatible HD display device is necessary to enjoy the same quality.
†
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.
• 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. Java and all Java-based trademarks and logos are
trademarks or registered trademarks of Sun Microsystems, Inc. in the U.S. and other countries.
• Support of uncompressed multi-channel Linear PCM
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 OUTPUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack does not output 8ch signals. You will need
an HDMI cable and an HDMI compatible device that support 8ch signals.
• Support of “Dolby TrueHD” and “DTS-HD” - 7.1 Channel Surround Sound
The player supports the bitstream output functionality of Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, and DTS-HD
High Resolution Audio bitstream via HDMI. It also supports the decoding functionality of Dolby TrueHD,
Dolby Digital Plus, and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio to multi-channel Linear PCM via HDMI.
• HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) digital interface
When connected to an HDMI-equipped display device using a single HDMI cord, the player can output both
SD to HD video and multi-channel audio signals, in digital form without degradation. The HDMI specification
supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), a copy protection technology that incorporates
coding technology for digital video signals.
• Library function for recorded files (For JPEG image, MP3 audio and WMV9 files only)
With DATA-DVDs and DATA-CDs, three separate Audio/Video/Picture/All Title List-browsers allow for easy
sorting, searching and playback.
