But
≥ In the U.S.A. and Canada, the AC adaptor must be connected to
a 120 V AC power supply only.
≥ When connecting to an AC supply outside of the U.S.A. or
Canada, use a plug adaptor to suit the AC outlet configuration.
≥ When connecting to a supply of greater than AC 125 V, ensure
the cord you use is suited to the voltage of the AC supply and the
rated current of the AC adaptor.
≥ Contact an electrical parts distributor for assistance in selecting a
suitable AC plug adaptor or AC cord set.
≥ Do not use the player outside if it is snowing or raining. (The

CAUTION
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only
with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high volume. Hearing
experts advise against continuous extended play.
If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue
use.
Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic
hazard and is illegal in many areas.
You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.
A lithium ion battery that is recyclable powers the
product you have purchased. Please call 1-800-8-
BATTERY for information on how to recycle this battery.
Even if your headphones or earphones are the open-air type designed
to let you hear outside sounds, don’t turn up the volume so high that
you can’t hear what’s around you.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level”
adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can
actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE
your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
≥ Start your volume control at a low setting.
For USA-California Only
This product contains a CR Coin Cell Lithium Battery which
contains Perchlorate Material – special handling may apply.
See
Product Identification Marking is located on the bottom of units.
≥ Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and
clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
≥ Leave it there.

Film and video
Glossary
DVD-Video are recorded using either film or video. This unit
can determine which type has been used, then uses the most
suitable method of progressive output.
AVCHD
AVCHD is a new format (standard) for high definition video
cameras that can be used to record and play high-resolution
HD images.
Film: Recorded at 24 frames per second. (Recorded at 30
frames per second as well). Generally appropriate for
motion picture films.
Video: Recorded at 30 frames/60 fields per second.
Generally appropriate for TV drama programs or
animation.
BD-J
Some BD-Video discs contain Java applications, and these
applications are called BD-J. You can enjoy various interactive
features in addition to playing normal video.
Bitstream
Folder
This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g.,
5.1 channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.
This is a place on the disc or SD card where groups of data are
stored together. Additional folders can be created within
folders, and you can make detailed classifications depending
on the folder structure. (> 27)
BONUSVIEW (Final Standard Profile)
This is a BD-Video (BD-ROM Profile 1 version 1.1) that
supports the new functions such as Picture-in-picture and
Secondary Audio, etc.
Frames and fields
Frames refer to the single images that constitute the video you
see on your television. Each frame consists of two fields.
Dolby Digital
This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby
Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these
signals can also be multi-channel audio.
r
Dolby Digital Plus
Multi-channel audio and higher audio quality is made possible
using Dolby Digital Plus. BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel
output.
Frame
Field
Field
≥ A frame still shows two fields, so there may be some blurring,
but picture quality is generally better.
≥ A field still shows less picture information so it may be
rougher, but there is no blurring.
Dolby TrueHD
Dolby TrueHD is a very high quality audio format that
reproduces the studio master audio. BD-Video supports up to
7.1 channel output.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
This is a system used for compressing/decoding color still
pictures. If you select JPEG as the storage system on digital
cameras, etc., the data will be compressed to 1/10–1/100 of its
original size. The benefit of JPEG is less deterioration in picture
quality considering the degree of compression.
Down-mixing
This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found
on some discs into fewer channels.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
This surround system is used in many movie theaters. There is
good separation between the channels, so realistic sound
effects are possible.
LPCM (Linear PCM)
This is a type of PCM format.
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found
on CDs.
DTS-HD
DTS-HD is a high-quality, sophisticated audio format used in
movie theaters. Previous DTS Digital Surround-compatible
equipment can play DTS-HD as DTS Digital Surround audio.
BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output.
MPEG2 (Moving Picture Experts Group)
A standard for efficiently compressing and expanding color
video.
MPEG2 is a compression standard used for DVD and satellite
based digital broadcasting.
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio
This is a signal format achieved by improving the previous
DTS, DTS-ES and DTS 96/24 formats. It is compatible with
sampling frequency 96 kHz/48 kHz. BD-Video supports up to
7.1 channel output.
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)
An audio compression method that compresses audio to
approximately one tenth of its size without any significant loss
of audio quality.
DTS-HD Master Audio
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
This is a lossless audio format and compatible with 96 kHz/
7.1ch or less. In addition, faithful reproduction of the master
audio is enabled using lossless audio encoding technology.
BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output.
This is one format for converting analog audio into digital audio,
enabling you to enjoy digital audio with no hassle.
Picture-in-picture
This is a function of BD-Video that plays the primary video and
secondary video simultaneously. For instance, the function is
capable of playing the original movie as the primary video while
playing video commentary from the film director on a small
screen as a secondary video.
Dynamic range
Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of
sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and
the highest level of sound before distortion occurs.
Dynamic range compression means reducing the gap between
the loudest and softest sounds. This means you can listen at
low volumes but still hear dialog clearly.
Sampling frequency
Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound
wave (analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits
(digital encoding). Sampling frequency is the number of
samples taken per second, so larger numbers mean more
faithful reproduction of the original sound.
x.v.Color™
x.v.Color™ is a name for devices that are compatible with the
xvYCC format, an international standard for expanded color in
motion pictures, and that follow the rules for signal transmission.
