■ Disc: This line displays the disc type.
■ Disc ID: If the disc is encoded with an identi-
fication label, it will appear here.
■ Aspect Ratio: This line displays the aspect
ratio of the video content on the disc, and the
format in which it is being played back
according to the setting established in the
VIDEO SETUP submenu as shown on
page 19. Some discs may contain two versions
of the same program with a widescreen
aspect ratio on one side of the disc, and a
standard aspect ratio on the other.
■ Video Standard: The disc’s format is shown
here. For Region 2 players, this will normally
be PAL, although some DVDs that are open
region (playable in all regions) may be in the
NTSC format.
In the Player row you will see the Standard
format established in the
VIDEO SETUP
submenu.
■ Scan Type: This line displays how the flag on
the DVD was set that should indicate to the
deinterlacer in the player whether the video
program on the DVD was recorded with a pro-
gressive or interlaced scan rate. It also displays
how the program is being played back, based
on the setting established in the
VIDEO
SETUP submenu as shown on page 19.
■ Audio Resolution: This line displays the
sample rate and bit rate for the current audio
format.
■ Audio Format: This line displays the current
audio track, such as Dolby Digital 5.1 or linear
PCM.
■ Video Bit Rate: This line displays the video
bit rate up to the limit of 10 Mbps. This indica-
tion will vary as a disc is played in response to
changes in the amount of compression that
was applied to the video signal when the disc
was created. Thus, when the disc is stopped or
paused, this line will remain blank.
