24p True Cinema
Movies shot with a film camera consist of 24 frames per second.
Since conventional televisions (both CRT and flat panels)
display frames either at 1/60 or 1/50 second intervals, the 24
frames do not appear at an even pace.
When connected to a TV with 24p capabilities, the player
displays each frame at 1/24 second intervals — the same interval
originally shot with the film camera, thus faithfully reproducing
the original cinema image.
HDMI Control (‘BRAVIA’ Theatre Sync)
‘BRAVIA’ Theatre Sync Function makes operations simple by
connecting Sony components that are compatible with the
HDMI Control function with an HDMI cord.
BD-J application
The BD-ROM format supports Java for interactive functions.
“BD-J” offers content providers almost unlimited functionality
when creating interactive BD-ROM titles*.

Support of uncompressed multi-channel Linear
PCM
In combination with a compatible AV amplifier, the player can
output up to 8ch Linear PCM surround sound*. With a non-
compatible amplifier, the player can output 5.1ch analog signals
from its 5.1CH OUTPUT jack for high quality audio enjoyment.
* Note that the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack does not
output 8ch signals. You will need an HDMI cord and an HDMI-
compatible device that support 8ch signals.
AVCHD format disc playback
The player supports AVCHD format files–high definition
recordings made on AVCHD-compatible camcorders. Your high
definition personal archive is readily playable in HD quality.
