GlossaryAVCHDThe AVCHD format is a high-definition digital 
video camera format used to record SD 
(standard definition) or HD (high definition) 
signals of either the 1080i specification* or the 
720p specification** on DVDs, using efficient 
data compression coding technology. The 
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is adopted to 
compress video data, and the Dolby Digital or 
Linear PCM system is used to compress audio 
data. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is 
capable of compressing images at higher 
efficiency than that of the conventional image 
compression format. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 
format enables a high definition (HD) video 
signal shot on a digital video camera recorder to 
be recorded on DVD discs in the same way as it 
would be for a standard definition (SD) 
television signal.* A high definition specification that utilizes 1080 
effective scanning lines and the interlace format.
** A high definition specification that utilizes 720 
effective scanning lines and the progressive format.BD-J applicationThe BD-ROM format supports Java for 
interactive functions.
“BD-J” offers content providers almost 
unlimited functionality when creating 
interactive BD-ROM titles.BD-RBD-R (Blu-ray Disc Recordable) is a 
recordable, write-once Blu-ray Disc, available 
in the same capacities as the BD below. Since 
contents can be recorded and cannot be 
overwritten, a BD-R can be used to archive 
valuable data or storing and distributing video 
material.BD-REBD-RE (Blu-ray Disc Rewritable) is a 
recordable and rewritable Blu-ray Disc, 
available in the same capacities as the BD 
below. The re-recordable feature makes 
extensive editing and time-shifting applications 
possible.

BD-ROMBD-ROMs (Blu-ray Disc Read-Only Memory) 
are commercially produced discs and are 
available in the same capacities as the BD 
below. Other than conventional movie and video 
contents, these discs have enhanced features 
such as interactive content, menu operations 
using pop-up menus, selection of subtitle 
display, and slideshow. Although a BD-ROM 
may contain any form of data, most BD-ROM 
discs will contain movies in High Definition 
format, for playback on Blu-ray Disc/DVD 
players.Blu-ray Disc (BD)A disc format developed for recording/playing 
high-definition (HD) video (for HDTV, etc.), 
and for storing large amounts of data. A single 
layer Blu-ray Disc holds up to 25 GB, and a 
dual-layer Blu-ray Disc holds up to 50 GB of 
data.Dolby DigitalThis movie theater sound format is more 
advanced than Dolby Surround Pro Logic. In 
this format, the surround speakers output stereo 
sound with an expanded frequency range, and a 
subwoofer channel for deep bass is 
independently provided. This format is also 
called “5.1” with the subwoofer channel 
designed as the 0.1 channel (since it functions 
only when a deep bass effect is needed). All six 
channels in this format are recorded separately 
for superior channel separation. Furthermore, 
since all the signals are processed digitally, less 
signal degradation occurs.Dolby Digital PlusDeveloped as an extension to Dolby Digital, the 
audio coding technology supports 7.1 multi-
channel surround sound.Dolby TrueHDDolby TrueHD is a lossless coding technology 
that supports up to 8 channels of multi-channel 
surround sound for the next generation optical 
discs. The reproduced sound is true to the 
original source bit-for-bit.
DTSDigital audio compression technology 
developed by DTS, Inc. This technology 
conforms to 5.1-channel surround. This format 
comprises of stereo rear channel and there is 
discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS 
provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high 
quality digital audio. The good channel 
separation is realized due to the all channel data 
being recorded discretely and processed in 
digitally.DTS-HD High Resolution AudioDeveloped as an extension to DTS Digital 
Surround format. It supports a maximum 
sampling frequency of 96 kHz, and 7.1 multi-
channel surround.
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio has a 
maximum transmission rate of 6 Mbps, with 
lossy compression (Lossy).DTS-HD Master AudioDTS-HD Master Audio has a maximum 
transmission rate of 24.5 Mbps, and uses 
lossless compression (Lossless), and DTS-HD 
Master Audio corresponds to a maximum 
sampling frequency of 192 kHz, and maximum 
of 7.1ch.HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia 
Interface)HDMI is an interface that supports both video 
and audio on a single digital connection, 
allowing you to enjoy high quality digital 
picture and sound. The HDMI specification 
supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital 
Content Protection), a copy protection 
technology that incorporates coding technology 
for digital video signals. Interlace format
(Interlaced scanning)The Interlace format is the NTSC standard 
method for displaying TV images at 30 frames 
per second. Each frame is scanned twice - 
alternately between the even numbered scanning 
lines and then odd numbered scanning lines, at 
60 times per second.LTH (Low to High)LTH is a recording system that supports organic 
pigment type BD-R.

Parental ControlA function of the BD/DVD to limit playback of 
the disc by the age of the users according to the 
limitation level in each country. The limitation 
varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, 
playback is completely prohibited, violent 
scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes 
and so on.PhotoTV HD“PhotoTV HD” allows for a highly-detailed 
pictures, and photo-like expression of subtle 
textures and colors. By connecting Sony 
“PhotoTV HD” compatible devices using an 
HDMI cable, whole new world of photos can be 
enjoyed in breathtaking Full HD quality. For 
instance, the delicate texture of the human skin, 
flowers, sand and waves can now be displayed 
on a large screen in beautiful photo-like quality.Pop-up menuAn enhanced menu operation available on BD-
ROMs. The pop-up menu appears when POP 
UP/MENU is pressed during playback, and can 
be operated while playback is in progress.Progressive format
(sequential scanning)In contrast to the Interlace format, the 
progressive format can reproduce 50 - 60 frames 
per second by reproducing all scanning lines 
(525 lines for the NTSC system). The overall 
picture quality increases and still images, text 
and horizontal lines appear sharper. This format 
is compatible with the 525 or 625 progressive 
format.x.v.Colourx.v.Colour is a familiar term for the xvYCC 
standard proposed by Sony.
xvYCC is an international standard for color 
space in video.
This standard can express a wider color range 
than the currently used broadcast standard.24p True CinemaMovies shot with a film camera consist of 24 
frames per second.
Since conventional televisions (both CRT and 
flat panels) display frames either at 1/60 or 1/50 
second intervals, the 24 frames do not appear at 
an even pace. When connected to a TV with 24p capabilities, 
the player displays each frame at 1/24 second 
intervals — the same interval originally shot 
with the film camera, thus faithfully reproducing 
the original cinema image.
