About playback of discs recorded in
AVCHD format
This player can play AVCHD format discs.
What is the AVCHD format?
The AVCHD format is a high definition digital video camera
format used to record SD (standard definition) or HD (high
definition) signals of either the 1080i specification*
1
or the 720p
specification*
2
on DVDs, using efficient data compression
coding technology. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is adopted
to compress video data, and the Dolby Digital or Linear PCM
system is used to compress audio data. The MPEG-4 AVC/
H.264 format is capable of compressing images at higher
efficiency than that of the conventional image compressing
format. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format enables a high
definition (HD) video signal shot on a digital video camera
recorder to be recorded on DVD discs, in the same way as it
would be for a standard definition (SD) television signal.
