AVCHD
AVCHD is a new format (standard) for high definition
video cameras that can be used to record and play high-
resolution HD images.
BD-Live™
BD-Live is a BD standard that utilizes a network
connection, enabling this unit to go online to download
promotional videos and other data.
BDMV
BDMV (Blu-ray Disc Movie, BD-MV) refers to one of
the application formats used for BD-ROM which is one
of the Blu-ray Disc specifications. BDMV is a recording
format equivalent to DVD-Video of the DVD
specification.
Blu-ray 3D™
Blu-ray 3D enables you to view full high definition 3D
images.
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.
Dolby Digital
A sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories Inc.
that gives movie theater ambience to audio output when
the product is connected to a Dolby Digital processor or
amplifier.
Dolby Digital Plus
A sound system developed as an extension to Dolby
Digital. This audio coding technology supports 7.1
multi-channel surround sound.

GLOSSARY

Dolby TrueHD
Dolby 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.
DRC (Dynamic Range Control)
DRC lets you adjust the range between the loudest and
softest sounds (dynamic range) for playback at average
volume. Use this when it is hard to hear dialog, or
during times when playback may disturb neighbors.
DTS
This is a digital sound system developed by DTS, Inc.
for use in cinemas.
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio is a new technology
developed for the next generation high definition optical
disc format.
HDMI
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an
interface that supports both video and audio on a single
digital connection. The HDMI connection carries
standard to high definition video signals and multi-
channel audio signals to AV components such as HDMI
equipped TVs, in digital form without degradation.
Letterbox (LB 4:3)
A screen size with black bars on the top and bottom of
the image to allow viewing of wide-screen (16:9)
material on a connected 4:3 TV.
Linear PCM Sound
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 discs and between 48 kHz with 16
bits and 192 kHz with 24 bits on BD discs.)
Lip Sync
Lip Sync, an abbreviation for lip synchronization, is a
technical term that involves both a problem and a
capability of maintaining audio and video signals
synchronized during post-production and transmission.
Whereas the audio and video latency requires complex
end-user adjustments, HDMI incorporates an automatic
audio and video syncing capability that allows devices
to perform this synchronization automatically and
accurately without user interaction.
Mac address
The Mac address is a unique value assigned to a network
device for identification purposes.
Pan Scan (PS 4:3)
A screen size that cuts off the sides of the image to allow
viewing of wide-screen (16:9) material on a connected
4:3 TV.
Subtitles
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 discs.
