9.4 GB, and double-layer and double-sided 
DVD is 17 GB.
The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, a 
worldwide standard of digital compression 
technology. The picture data is compressed to 
about 1/40 (average) of its original size. The 
DVD also uses a variable rate coding 
technology that changes the data to be 
allocated according to the status of the 
picture. Audio information is recorded in a 
multi-channel format, such as Dolby Digital, 
allowing you to enjoy a more realistic audio 
presence.
Furthermore, various advanced functions 
such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and 
Parental Control functions are provided with 
the DVD.

DVD-RW (page 7)

A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable 
disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO. 
The DVD-RW has two different modes: VR 
mode and Video mode. DVD-RWs created in 
Video mode have the same format as a DVD 
VIDEO, while discs created in VR (Video 
Recording) mode allow the contents to be 
programmed or edited.

DVD+RW (page 7)

A DVD+RW (plus RW) is a recordable and 
rewritable disc. DVD+RWs use a recording 
format that is comparable to the DVD VIDEO 
format.

File (page 52, 55)

A JPEG image recorded on a DATA CD/
DATA DVD (“File” is an exclusive 
definition for this player.) A single file 
consist of a single image.

Film based software, Video based 
software (page 21)

DVDs can be classified as Film based or 
Video based software. Film based DVDs 
contain the same images (24 frames per 
second) that are shown at movie theaters.
Video based DVDs, such as television 
dramas or sit-coms, displays images at 30 
frames/60 fields per second.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI is an interface that supports both video 
and audio on a single digital connection. The 

HDMI connection carries standard to high 
definition video signals and multi-channel 
audio signals to AV components such as 
HDMI equipped TVs, in digital form without 
degradation.
Since the video signals are compatible with 
the current DVI (Digital Visual Interface) 
format, HDMI jacks can be connected to DVI 
jacks by way of an HDMI-DVI converter 
cord. The HDMI specification supports 
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents 
Protection), a copy protection technology that 
incorporates coding technology for digital 
video signals.

Normal (Interlace) format (page 21)

Normal (Interlace) format shows every other 
line of an image as a single “field” and is the 
standard method for displaying images on 
television. The even number field shows the 
even numbered lines of an image, and the odd 
numbered field shows the odd numbered lines 
of an image.

Progressive format (page 21)

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. This 
player is compatible with the 480 progressive 
format.

Progressive JPEG

Progressive JPEGs are used mostly on the 
internet. They are different from other JPEGs 
in that they “fade in” gradually instead of 
being drawn from top to bottom when 
displayed on a browser. This lets you view the 
image while it is being downloaded.

Title (page 12)

The longest section of a picture or music 
feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video 
software, or the entire album in audio 
software.
