Checking the Play Information 

You can check information such as the bit rate or the disc
layer that is being played.
While playing a disc, the approximate bit rate of the
playback picture is always displayed as Mbps (Mega bit
per second) and the audio as kbps (kilo bit per second).

Select “ADVANCED” after pressing DISPLAY.

Displays of each item

By pressing DISPLAY repeatedly, you can display either
“BIT RATE” or “LAYER,” whichever was selected in
“ADVANCED.”

BIT RATE

Bit rate refers to the amount of video/audio data per
second in a disc.  The higher the bit rate, the larger the
amount of data.  When the bit rate level is high, there is a
large amount of data.  However, this does not always
mean that you can get higher quality pictures or sounds.

LAYER

Indicates the approximate point where the disc is playing.
If it is a dual-layer DVD, the player indicates which layer
is being read (“Layer 0” or “Layer 1”).
For details on the layers, see page 60 (DVD).
