The disc tray automatically opens after the OSD briefly displays “This disc has
been coded for Region _ only and will not play in this machine. Please eject
this disc and play only on a Region _ player.” (BD only) or “Check Regional
Code” (DVD only) when an incompatible Region or BD disc is loaded.

BD-ROM DISC FEATURES
BD-ROM (Blu-ray Disc Read-Only Memory) is a commercially produced disc
and available in the same capacities as that of regular Blu-ray discs. Other
than conventional movie and video contents, BD-ROM has enhanced
features such as interactive content, menu operations, pop-up menus,
subtitle selection, slideshow and other features.
BD-ROM Discs can store 25 GB (single layer) or 50 GB (dual layer) on a single
sided disc - about 5 to 10 times the capacity of a DVD. BD-ROM Discs also
support the highest quality HD video available in the industry (up to 1920 x
1080) - large capacity means no compromise on video quality. Furthermore,
a BD-ROM disc has the same familiar size and look as DVD.
The following BD-ROM disc features are disc dependent and will vary.
Appearance and navigation of features will also vary from disc to disc. Some
features may not be available on some discs.
VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS
The BD-ROM format for movie distribution supports three highly advanced
video codecs, includingMPEG-2, MPEG4 AVC (H.264), and SMPTE VC1. The
1920 x 1080 HD and 1280 x 720 HD video resolutions are also available.
HIGH-DEFINITION PLAYBACK
To view high-definition contents from BD-ROM discs, an HDTV is required.
Some discs may require HDMI OUT for viewing of high-definition contents.
Ability to view high-definition contents in BD-ROM discs maybe limited
depending on the resolution of your TV.
GRAPHIC PLANES
Two individual full HD resolution (1920x1080) graphic planes (layers) are
available on top of the HD video layer. One plane is assigned to video-
related, frame accurate graphics (like subtitles), and the other plane is
assigned to interactive graphic elements, such as buttons or menus. For
both planes, various wipes, fades and scroll effects may be available.
MENU SOUND
When you highlight or select a menu option, sound can be heard such as
button clicks or a voice-over explaining the highlighted menu choice.
MULTI-PAGE/POP-UP MENUS
With DVD-Video, playback is interrupted each time a new menu screen
is accessed. Due to BD-ROM disc’s ability to preload data from the disc
without interrupting playback, a menu can consist of several pages. You can
browse through the menu pages or select different menu paths, while the
audio and video remain playing in the background.
INTERACTIVITY
Certain BD-ROM Discs may contain animated menus and/or trivia games.
USER BROWSABLE SLIDESHOWS
With BD-ROM Discs, you can browse through various still pictures while the
audio remains playing
SUBTITLES
Depending on what is contained on the BD-ROM disc, you may be able to
select different font styles, sizes and colors for some subtitles. Subtitles may
also be animated, scrolled or faded in and out.
BD-J INTERACTIVE CAPABILITY
The BD-ROM format supports Java for interactive functions. “BD-J” offer
content providers almost unlimited functionality when creating interactive
BD-ROM titles.
BD-ROM DISC COMPATIBILITY
The T 587 supports BD-ROM Profile 2. Aside from the BONUSVIEW function,
the T 587 supports BD-Live (BD-ROM version 2 Profile 2) discs that allow
usage of interactive functions when the T 587 is connected to the internet.
