BIT RATE
When playing MPEG audio sound tracks
Bit rate refers to the amount of video/audio
data per second in a disc. The higher the bit
rate, the larger the amount of data. When the
bit rate level is high, there is a large amount
of data. However, this does not always mean
that you can get higher quality pictures or
sounds.
LAYER
Indicates the approximate point where the
disc is playing.
If it is a dual-layer DVD, the system
indicates which layer is being read (“Layer
0” or “Layer 1”).
For details on the layers, see page 76
(DVD).
Checking the Play
Information
(ADVANCED)
You can check information such as the bit
rate or the disc layer that is being played.
While playing a disc, an approximate bit
rate of the playback picture is always
displayed as Mbps (Mega bit per second)
and the audio as kbps (kilo bit per second).
