About playback of discs recorded in AVCHD format This player can play AVCHD format discs. TM What is the AVCHD format? 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 specification*1 or the 720p specification*2 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. *1 A high-definition specification which utilizes 1080 effective scanning lines and the interlace system. *2 A high-definition specification which utilizes 720 effective scanning lines and the progressive system. b • 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. Video Output Resolution Output resolution differs depending on the "Output Video Format" setting in the "Video Settings" setup (page 46).
