on-screen or interactive information. In many cases the
disc will alert you to the presence of multiple angles by
showing a camera icon or other indication, but in any
case where multiple-angle material is available, the
Angle Indicator I will light in the front-panel
Information Display 9.
When multiple angle views are available as shown
by any of the available icons or indications, press the
Angle Button L to change the view. An information
box will appear in the upper right corner of your video
screen to show you which angle view is playing and
how many are available.

allow you to set the player so that it automatically

Disc: This shows the type of disc being played.
Disc ID: If the disc is encoded with its title, that
information is shown on this line.
Aspect Ratio: This line shows the aspect ratio of the
programming recorded on the disc, and the way in
which it is being played back according to the setting
established in the Video Setup menu as shown on
page 14. Note that some discs may contain two
versions of the same program with a widescreen
aspect ratio on one side and a standard aspect ratio
on the other.
Video Standard: The disc’s format is shown here.
For the HS 100, this will always be the NTSC format
used in North America, as that is the only format
activated for Region 1 players.

programming recorded on the disc, and the way in
which it is being played back according to the setting
established in the Video Setup menu, as shown on
page 14.

rate and bit rate for the audio track being played
on the disc.
Audio Format: This line shows the audio format
being played.
Video Bit Rate: The number of blue horizontal lines
inside the white bar on this line gives you an indica-
tion of the video bit rate of the material being played
back up to the limit of 10 Mbps. This indication will
vary as a disc is played in response to changes in
the amount of compression that was applied to the
video signal when it was compressed during the disc
creation process.
Audio Bit Rate: The number of blue horizontal lines
inside the white bar on this line gives you an indica-
tion of the audio bit rate of the material being played.
