About Disc Contents

BD Video

Enjoy BD-specific functions including BONUSVIEW (BD-ROM
Profile 1 Version 1.1), such as picture-in-picture, and BD-LIVE
(page 25).
For the BD video discs compatible with BONUSVIEW/BD-
LIVE, you can enjoy additional contents by copying the data
from the discs or downloading it via the internet. For instance,
this function is capable of playing the original movie as the
primary video while playing video commentary from the film
director on a small screen as a secondary video.
NOTE
• The available functions differ depending on the disc.

Title, Chapter and Track

• Blu-ray discs and DVDs are divided into "Titles" and
"Chapters". If the disc has more than one movie on it, each
movie would be a separate "Title". "Chapters", on the other
hand, are subdivisions of titles. (See Example 1.)
• Audio CDs are divided into "Tracks". You can think of a
"Track" as one tune on an Audio CD. (See Example 2.)
Example 1: Blu-ray disc or DVD
Title 1
Chapter 1 Chapter 2
Example 2: Audio CD
