Glossary
Parental control (page 41)
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.
Pop-up menu (page 28)
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.
Progressive format
Compared to the Interlace format that alternately
shows every other line of an image (field) 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 fields 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.
Region code (page 9)
Code identifying a geographic region of compatibility
for a BD/DVD.
Resume playback (page 27)
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.
Skip (pages 31, 32, 34)
This returns to the start of the chapter (or track) being
played, or skips to the next chapter (or track).
Subtitles (pages 36–38)
These are the lines of text appearing at the bottom of
the screen which translate or transcribe the dialog.
They are recorded on many DVD and BD video discs.
Time number
This indicates the play time which has elapsed from
the start of a disc or a title. It can be used to find a
specific scene quickly. (It may not work with some
discs.)
Title number (pages 37, 38)
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.
Top menu (page 28)
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”.
Track number (pages 37, 38)
These numbers are assigned to the tracks which are
recorded on audio CDs. They enable specific tracks to
be located quickly.
VUDU (pages 53–54)

buying movies that can be watched instantly on TV.
