Adjusting the areas of an image that are too light or dark (Gamma Correction) Depending on your TV or viewing environment, images on the screen may lose definition because certain areas of the image are too light or too dark. When it is too light, the image will appear to be washed out, and when it is too dark, the image will blend into the surrounding dark areas. By correcting the Gamma value, you can alter the brightness of selected areas so that the image can be seen clearly. Since the BRIGHTNESS adjustment controls the brightness of the entire image, the Gamma adjustment is useful when you need to increase the brightness of just the area that is too bright or too dark. Example: You are watching a movie that is rich in shadows and you want to be able to see the details of the scenery hidden in these shadows. If you use the BRIGHTNESS function to increase the brightness, the brightness of the entire image will increase, thus causing the light areas of the image to become washed out. By using the Gamma Correction feature, you can gradually increase the brightness of just the dark areas of an image without sacrificing the detail of the entire image. 1 Select “VIDEO CONTROL” using M/m and press ENTER. 2 Select “PB MEMORYt” or memory number you want to correct the gamma value by pressing M/m and press ENTER.

Adjusting the Progressive video signal (SET PROGRESSIVE OUTPUT) • AUTO: This will automatically detect if you are playing Film based or Video based software and convert the signal to the appropriate mode. • VIDEO: This will convert the output signal for Video based software, regardless of the type of software that you are playing. Notes • Some DVD software contains both Video and Film. For instance, DVDs of movies may contain the movie taken on film, and a "Making of" sequence taken on video. • If you select “VIDEO” and play back a DVD that contains Film based software, sections of images may be unclear. • When you select “AUTO,” sections of images may become unclear. This happens when the output signal tag (progressive/ interlace) is not correct on the software. If this happens, set the conversion mode to “VIDEO.” x 4:3 OUTPUT Adjust this when you watch progressive signals on a standard 4:3 aspect ratio television. If you can change the aspect ratio on your progressive format (480p) compatible TV, change the setting on your TV, not the player. • FULL: when you can change the aspect ratio on your TV. • NORMAL: when you cannot change the aspect ratio on your TV. A 16:9 aspect ratio signal will be shown with black bands on left and right sides of the image, and a 4:3 aspect ratio signal will be shown with black bands on all sides of the image. You can fine-tune the Progressive (480p) video signal output when you have selected “PROGRESSIVE” in “COMPONENT OUT” of the “CUSTOM SETUP” display and connect the player to the TV that be able to accept the video signal in progressive format (480p). The default settings are underlined. Select “SET PROGRESSIVE OUTPUT” in the setup display. Note If you select “PROGRESSIVE” in spite of you connect the player to a TV that cannot accept the signal in progressive format, the image quality will deteriorate.

Video based software is derived from TV, such as dramas and sit-coms, and displays images at 30 frames/60 fields per second. Film based software is derived from film and displays images at 24 frames per second. In order for these images to appear natural on your screen when output in PROGRESSIVE mode (60 frames per second), the progressive video signal needs to be converted to match the type of software that you are watching.

Progressive Conversion Methods of Film Based and Video Based Software This player converts video based software and film based software in the following manner. Video based software conversion Video shows an image by alternately displaying every other line of an image (field) at 30 frames (60 fields) per second (Interlace format). The Interlace format displays 30 frames (60 fields) per second by displaying every other line of the image, causing scanning lines to appear across the image. Furthermore, since only half of the image is shown at once, the amount of information contained in an image is limited. The Progressive format displays 60 entire frames per seconds. The player accomplishes this by converting each field into a frame by using either a field-based conversion method or a frame-based conversion method. The appropriate method is automatically selected by the player according to the movement of the images on the screen. If the movement on the screen is slow, the frame- based conversion method makes borrows adjacent field information to fill in the missing information. If the movement on the screen is rapid, the field-based conversion method creates the missing information by predicting the movement of the images on the screen from field to field. The end result is an image that is higher in quality when compared to the Interlace format. Film based software conversion Film shows an image by displaying an entire image at 24 frames per second. When you watch a film on television, the television displays every other line of the frame as a field, thus reducing information level and the clarity of the film image. This player solves this problem by increasing the speed at which the frames are displayed, consecutively showing 3 identical frames followed by 2 identical frames in the time that it normally takes to show 2 consecutive frames. The end result is that the 24 frames per second are increased to 60 frames per second, which is the speed at which Progressive video signals are shown. This not only allows film to be shown in a frame based format, it also increases the clarity and sharpness which is unique to Progressive format images. Downloaded From Disc-Player.com Sony Manuals

Value indicating the amount of video data compressed in a DVD per second. The unit is Mbps (Mega bit per second). 1 Mbps indicates that the data per second is 1,000,000 bits. The higher the bit rate, the larger the amount of data. However, this does not always mean that you can get higher quality pictures. Chapter (page 7) Sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number enabling you to locate the chapter you want. Dolby Digital (pages 12, 61) Digital audio compression technology developed by Dolby Laboratories. This technology conforms to 5.1- channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. Dolby Digital provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital audio found in Dolby Digital cinema audio systems. Good channel separation is realized because all of the channel data is recorded discretely and processed in digital. Dolby Pro Logic (pages 12, 61) Audio signal processing technology that Dolby Laboratories developed for surround sound. When the input signal contains a surround component, the Pro Logic process outputs the front, center and rear signals. The rear channel is monaural. DTS (pages 12, 61) Digital audio compression technology that Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This technology conforms to 5.1- channel surround. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital audio. Good channel separation is realized because all of the channel data is recorded discretely and processed in digital. DVD (page 6) A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving pictures even though its diameter is the same as a CD. The data capacity of a single-layer and single-sided DVD is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte) which is 7 times that of a CD. The data capacity of a dual-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and double-sided DVD is 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer and double-sided DVD is 17 GB. The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of the worldwide standards of digital compression technology. The picture data is compressed to about 1/40 of its original size. The DVD also uses a variable rate coding technology that changes the data to be allocated according to the status of the picture. Audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS, as well as in PCM, allowing you to enjoy a more real audio presence. Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions are provided with the DVD. Film based software (page 63) DVDs can be classified as Film based or Video based software. Film based DVDs contain the same images (24 frames per second) that are shown at movie theatres. Interlace format (page 63) Interlace format shows every other line of an image as a single "field" and is the standard method for displaying images on television. The even number field shows the even numbered lines of an image, and the odd numbered field shows the odd numbered lines of an image. Multi-angle function (page 37) Various angles for the scene (viewpoints of the video camera) are recorded on some DVDs. Multilingual function (pages 16, 37, 53) Several languages for the audio track or subtitles in a picture are recorded on some DVDs. Parental Control (page 43, 57) A function of the DVD used to limit playback of the disc according to the age of the user and the limitation level in each country. The limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, playback is completely prohibited, violent scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes, and so on.

Signals encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version 2.0) to control playback. By using menus recorded on VIDEO CDs with PBC functions, you can enjoy playing simple interactive programs, programs with search functions, and so on. Progressive format (page 63) Compared to the Interlace format that alternately shows every other line of an image (field) to create one frame, the Progressive format shows the entire image at once as a single frame. This means that while the Interlace format can show 30 frames (60 fields) in one second, the Progressive format can show 60 frames in one second. The overall picture quality increases and still images, text and horizontal lines appear sharper. This player is compatible with the 480 progressive format. Super Audio CD (SACD) (page 6) This audio format is based upon the current audio CD standards but includes a greater amount of information which provides higher quality sound. There are three types of discs: single layer, double layer and hybrid discs. The hybrid disc contains both standard audio CD and Super Audio CD information. Title (page 7) The longest section of a picture or a music piece on a DVD; a movie, etc., for a picture piece on video software; or an album, etc., for a music piece on audio software. Each title is assigned a title number enabling you to locate the title you want. Track (page 7) Sections of a picture or a music piece on a CD or VIDEO CD. Each track is assigned a track number enabling you to locate the track you want. Glossary Video based software (page 62, 63) DVDs can be classified as Film based or Video based software. Television dramas or sit-coms are examples of Video based software and display images at 30 frames (or 60 fields) per second. VIDEO CD (page 7) A compact disc that contains moving pictures. The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format, one of the worldwide standards of digital compression technology. The picture data is compressed to about 1/140 of its original size. Consequently, a 12 cm VIDEO CD can contain up to 74 minutes of moving pictures. VIDEO CDs also contain compact audio data. Sounds outside the range of human hearing are compressed while the sounds we can hear are not compressed. VIDEO CDs can hold 6 times the audio information of conventional audio CDs. There are 2 versions of VIDEO CDs. • Version 1.1: You can play only moving pictures and sounds. • Version 2.0: You can play high-resolution still pictures and enjoy PBC functions. This player conforms to both versions. Downloaded From Disc-Player.com Sony Manuals
