MP3 Playback

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia

Blu-ray Disc Features
Blu-ray 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.
Blu-ray Discs also support the highest quality HD
video available in the industry (up to 1920 x 1080 at
40 Mbit/sec) - Large capacity means no compromise
on video quality. Furthermore, a Blu-ray Disc has the
same familiar size and look as DVD.
* The following Blu-ray Disc features are disc
dependant and will vary.
Appearance and navigation of features will also vary
from disc to disc.
Not all discs will have the features described below.
Video highlights
The BD-ROM format for movie distribution supports
three highly advanced video codecs, including AVC,
VC-1, and MPEG-2.
HD video resolutions are also available:
- 1920 x 1080 HD
- 1280 x 720 HD
For High-Definition Playback
To view high-definition contents in BD discs, an
HDTV (High Definition Television) is required. Some
discs may require using the player's HDMI OUT to
view high-definition content. The ability to view
high-definition content on BD discs may be limited
depending on the resolution of your TV.
Graphic planes
Two individual, full HD resolution (1920x1080) video
layers are available, on top of the HD video layer.
One layer is assigned to video-related graphics (like
subtitles), and the other layer is assigned to
interactive elements, such as buttons or menus.
Various wipes, fades and scroll effects may be
available on both layers.
Menu graphics
Support 256 full color resolution graphics and
animation, thereby greatly surpassing the capabilities
of DVD-Video. Unlike DVD, Menus can be accessed
during video playback.
Menu sounds
When you highlight or select a menu option on a
Blu-ray disc, sounds can be heard such as button
clicks or a voice-over explaining the highlighted menu
choice.
Multi-page/PopUp Menus
With DVD-Video, playback is interrupted each time a
new menu screen is accessed. Due to Blu-ray Disc's
ability to preload data from the disc without interrupting
playback, a menu may 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.
