* Frames and fields
A frame is the unit for one of the still pictures
which compose motion pictures. One frame
consists of a picture of odd lines and a picture
of even lines called fields in video signal with
interlaced scan method (1080i, etc.).
* HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia
Interface)
See page 4.
* Interactive audio
The audio signals recorded in the titles of BD-
ROMs. They include for example the clicking
sound made when the menu screen is
operated.
* Interlaced scan
With this method, one picture is displayed by
scanning it twice. The odd lines are displayed
in the first pass, the even lines are displayed in
the second, to form a single picture (frame).
Interlaced scan is indicated in this player and
operating instructions by an "i" after the
resolution value (for example, 1080i).
* IP address
An address that identifies a computer or other
device connected to the Internet or local area
network. It is represented a number in four
sections.
* PCM
This is referred as the audio signals that are
not compressed.
* MAC (Media Access Control) address
A hardware identification number assigned
specifically to the network device (LAN card,
etc.).
* MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group)
The name of a family of standards used to
encode video and audio signals in a digital
compressed format. The video encoding
standards include MPEG-1 Video, MPEG-2
Video, MPEG-4 Visual, MPEG-4 AVC, etc.
The audio encoding standards include MPEG-
1 Audio, MPEG-2 Audio, MPEG-2 AAC, etc.
* Parental Lock

viewing DVDs and Changing the Age
Restriction for viewing BD-ROMs on page 30.

* Picture-in-Picture (P-in-P)
This is a function for superimposing a sub
video on the main video. Some BD-ROMs
include secondary video, which can be
superimposed on the primary video.
* Port number
This is a sub-address provided below the IP
address for simultaneously connecting to
multiple parties during Internet
communications.
* Progressive scan
With this method, one picture is consisted of a
single picture, without dividing it in two
pictures. Progressive scan provides clear
pictures with no flicker, in particular for still
pictures that contain much text, graphics, or
horizontal lines. Progressive scan is indicated
in this player and operating instructions by a
"p" after the resolution value (for example,
576p).
* Region number
See About region numbers on page 8.
* Secondary audio
Some BD-ROMs include sub audio streams
mixed with the main audio stream. These sub
audio streams are called "secondary audio".
On some discs this secondary audio is
recorded as the audio for the secondary video.
* Secondary video
Some BD-ROMs include sub videos
superimposed on the main videos using the
Picture-in-Picture function. These sub videos
are called "secondary video".
* Subnet mask
This is used to identify which part of the IP
address corresponds to the subnet (a
separately managed network). The subnet
mask is expressed as '255.255.255.0'.
* USB(Universal Serial Bus)
USB is the industry standard for connecting
peripherals to PCs.
