BONUSVIEW
BONUSVIEW compatible discs let you simultaneously
enjoy video sub-channel for two screens, audio sub-
channel and sub-titles. A small screen appears within
the main screen during playback (Picture in Picture).
Closed caption
Closed captions are kind of subtitle, and the difference
between subtitles and captions is that subtitles are
intended for hearing persons and captions are for the
hearing impaired. Subtitles rarely show all of the audio.
For example, captions show sound effects (e.g., “phone
ringing” and “footsteps”), while subtitles do not. Before
you select this setting, please ensure that the disc
contains closed caption information.
Color Space
Color Space is a color range that can be represented.
RGB is a color space based on the RGB color model
(red, green and blue) and is typically used for PC
monitors. YCbCr is a color space based on a luminance
signal (Y) and two color difference signals (Cb and Cr).
Deep Color
Deep Color refers to the use of various color depths in
displays, up from the 24-bit depths in previous versions
of the HDMI specification. This extra bit depth allows
HDTVs and other displays go from millions of colors to
billions of colors and eliminate on-screen color banding
for smooth tonal transitions and subtle gradations
between colors. The increased contrast ratio can
represent many times more shades of gray between
black and white. Also Deep Color increases the number
of available colors within the boundaries defined by the
RGB or YCbCr color space.

DSD (Direct Stream Digital)
DSD technology stores audio signals on digital storage
media, such as Super Audio CDs. Using DSD, signals
are stored as single bit values at a high- frequency
sampling rate of 2.8224 MHz, while noise shaping and
oversampling are used to reduce distortion, a common
occurrence with very high quantization of audio signals.
Due to the high sampling rate, better audio quality can
be achieved than that offered by the PCM format used
for normal audio CDs.
