About playback of discs recorded in  
AVCHD format  
This player can play AVCHD format discs.  
TM

What is the AVCHD format?  
• Some AVCHD format discs may not play,  
depending on the recording condition.  
• The AVCHD format disc will not play if it has not  
been correctly finalized.  
The AVCHD format is a high-definition digital  
video camera format used to record SD (standard  
definition) or HD (high definition) signals of either  
*1  
the 1080i specification or the 720p  
*2  
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 compressing 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.  
Video Output Resolution  
Output resolution differs depending on the “Output Video Format” setting in the “Screen  
Settings” setup (page 44).

BD-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.  
Glossary  
AACS  
“Advanced Access Content System” is a  
specification for managing digital  
entertainment content stored on the next  
generation of prerecorded and recorded  
optical media. The specification enables  
consumers to enjoy digital entertainment  
content, including high-definition content.  
BD-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 content, these discs have enhanced  
features such as interactive content, menu  
operations using the pop-up menu, 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.  
The 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  
*1  
*2  
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 is  
used to compress audio data. The MPEG-4  
AVC/H.264 format is capable of  
Blu-ray Disc (BD) (page 62)  
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.  
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 DVDs in the same way as for a  
standard definition (SD) television signal.  
BRAVIA Internet Video (page 35)  
BRAVIA Internet Video delivers streaming  
video, audio, or other Internet content to the  
device, creating a TV viewing experience  
using content from the Internet.  
*1  
A high definition specification that utilizes 1080  
effective scanning lines and the interlace format.  
A high definition specification that utilizes 720  
*2  
effective scanning lines and the progressive  
format.  
These are video signals for which the color  
depth of signals passing through an HDMI  
jack have been enhanced. With a Non-Deep  
Color-compatible player, the number of  
colors 1 pixel can express is 8 bits per  
component video signal (Y, PB, PR) (24 bits/  
16,777,216 colors). However, with a Deep  
Color-compatible player, 1 pixel can express  
more bits, such as 12 bits per component  
video signal (Y, PB, PR) (36 bits). With more  
bits, the gradation of color depth can be  
expressed more finely, and continuous color  
changes will be displayed more smoothly.  
BD-J application  
The BD-ROM format supports Java for  
interactive functions.  
“BD-J” offers content providers almost  
unlimited functionality when creating  
interactive BD-ROM titles.  
BD-R (Blu-ray Disc Recordable) is a  
recordable, write-once Blu-ray Disc,  
available in the same capacities as the BD  
below. Since content can be recorded and  
cannot be overwritten, a BD-R can be used to  
archive valuable data or storing and  
distributing video material.

Dolby Digital Plus  
PhotoTV HD (page 39)  
Developed as an extension to Dolby Digital,  
the audio coding technology supports 7.1  
multi-channel surround sound.  
“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.  
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.  
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio  
Developed 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).  
An 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.  
x.v.Color (page 46)  
x.v.Color is a familiar term for the xvYCC  
standard proposed by Sony.  
DTS-HD Master Audio  
DTS-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.  
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 Cinema (page 45)  
Movies 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.  
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia  
Interface) (page 15)  
HDMI 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.  
The HDMI specification supports HDCP  
(High-bandwidth Digital Contents  
Protection), a copy protection technology for  
digital entertainment content for HDMI.  
LTH (Low to High) (page 63)  
LTH is a recording system that supports  
organic pigment type BD-R.
