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.
