HDMI
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new
connection format that supports both video and audio on a
single digital connection.
The HDMI connection carries uncompressed, standard or
high definition digital video signals and multi-channel audio
signals to AV components such as HDMI equipped TVs, in
digital form without degradation.

Interlace format
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 numbered field shows the
even numbered lines of an image, and the odd numbered
field shows the odd numbered lines of an image.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
JPEG is a popular file format for still image compression and
storage.
Linear PCM
Linear PCM is a signal recording format used for Audio CDs
and on some DVD and Blu-ray discs. The sound on Audio
CDs is recorded at 44.1 kHz with 16 bits. (Sound is recorded
between 48 kHz with 16 bits and 96 kHz with 24 bits on DVD
video discs and between 48 kHz with 16 bits and 192 kHz
with 24 bits on BD video discs.)
MPEG-2
MPEG-2 (Moving Picture Experts Group phase 2) is one of
the video data compression schemes, which is adopted for
DVD videos and digital broadcasts worldwide. Some Blu-ray
Discs also use high bitrate MPEG-2.
MP3
MP3 is an audio data compression format, which stands for
MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Using MP3, you can achieve a data
reduction of about 1:10.
• MPEG Layer-3 audio coding technology licensed from
Fraunhofer IIS and Thomson.
Multi Angle
This is a feature of DVD and BD video discs. In some discs,
the same scene is shot from different angles, and these are
stored in a single disc so you can enjoy playback from each
angle.
Multi Audio
This is a feature of DVD and BD video discs. This function
makes it possible to record different audio tracks for the same
video, so you can enhance your enjoyment by switching the
audio.
Pop-up menu
An enhanced menu operation available on BD video discs.
The pop-up menu appears when POPUP MENU is pressed
during playback, and can be operated while playback is in
progress.
Progressive format
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.
Subtitle
These are the lines of text appearing at the bottom of the
screen which translate or transcribe the dialog. They are
recorded on many DVD and BD video discs.
WMA (Windows Media™ Audio)
WMA is an audio data compression format developed by
Microsoft Corporation. WMA file size is smaller than that of
MP3.
WMV (Windows Media™ Video)
WMV is a video data compression format by Microsoft
Corporation.

member of another folder, creating hierarchical folder layers.
If you are familiar with a personal computer, you may easily
understand the hierarchical file/folder construction.
