BD-ROM Disc Features  
BD-ROM Discs can store 25 GB (single layer) or  
50 GB (dual layer) on a single sided disc - about  
5 to 10 times the capacity of a DVD.  
When you highlight or select a menu option, sounds  
can be heard such as button clicks or a voice-over  
explaining the highlighted menu choice.  
Multi-page/PopUp Menus  
BD-ROM Discs also support the highest quality HD  
video available in the industry (up to 1920 x 1080) -  
Large capacity means no compromise on video  
quality. Furthermore, a BD-ROM disc has the same  
familiar size and look as DVD.  
With DVD-Video, playback is interrupted each time a  
new menu screen is accessed. Due to BD-ROM  
disc’s ability to preload data from the disc without  
interrupting playback, a menu can consist of several  
pages.  
You can browse through the menu pages or select  
different menu paths, while the audio and video  
remain playing in the background.  
The following BD-ROM disc features are disc  
dependent and will vary.  
Appearance and navigation of features will also  
vary from disc to disc.  
Not all discs will have the features described

DVD (or CD) layers on one side. On such discs,

Make one of the following connections, depending  
on the capabilities of your existing equipment.  
You must select a digital audio output and a  
maximum sampling frequency that your Amplifier  
(or AV receiver) accepts using [SPDIF], [HDMI]  
and [Sampling Freq.] options on the setup menu  
(see page 20).  
Note:  
Since many factors affect the type of audio output,  
see “The unit’s Audio Output Specifications” on page

through the Internet Connection feature are not  
created or provided by our company, and our  
company is not responsible for their functionality  
or continued availability. Some disc related mate-  
rial available by the Internet Connection may not  
be compatible with this player. If you have ques-  
tions about such content, please contact the pro-  
ducer of the disc.  
Internet connection  
This player can be connected to a local area net-  
work (LAN) via the LAN port on the rear panel.  
After making the physical connection the player  
needs to be set up for network communication. This  
is done from the [Setup] menu — see “[NETWORK]  
Menu” on page 22 for detailed instructions.  
Connect the player’s LAN port to the corresponding  
port on your Modem or Router using a LAN cable.  
Use a commercially available straight LAN cable  
(Category 5/CAT5 or better with RJ45 connector).  
Some internet contents may require a higher  
bandwidth connection.  
Even if the player is properly connected and con-  
figured, some internet contents may not operate  
properly because of internet congestion, the  
quality or bandwidth of your internet service, or  
problems at the provider of the content.  
Some internet connection operations may not be  
possible due to certain restrictions set by the  
Internet service provider (ISP) supplying your  
broadband Internet connection.  
Any fees charged by an ISP including, without  
limitation, connection charges are your responsi-  
bility.  
A 10 Base-T or 100 Base-TX LAN port is  
required for connection to this player. If your  
internet service does not allow for such a con-  
nection, you will not be able to connect the play-  
er.  
You must use a Router to use xDSL service.  
A DSL modem is required to use DSL service  
and a cable modem is required to use cable  
modem service. Depending on the access  
method of and subscriber agreement with your  
ISP, you may not be able to use the internet con-  
nection feature contained in this player or you  
may be limited to the number of devices you can  
connect at the same time. (If your ISP limits sub-  
scription to one device, this player may not be  
allowed to connect when a PC is already con-  
nected.)  
By connecting the unit to broadband Internet, you  
can use a disc that offers BD-Live function (see  
page 28).  
Cautions:  
When plugging or unplugging the LAN cable, hold  
the plug portion of the cable. When unplugging,  
do not pull on the LAN cable but unplug while  
pressing down on the lock.  
Do not connect a modular phone cable to the  
LAN port.  
Since there are various connection configura-  
tions, please follow the specifications of your  
telecommunication carrier or internet service  
provider.  
Rear of the player  
The use of a “Router” may not be allowed or its  
usage may be limited depending on the policies  
and restrictions of your ISP. For details, contact  
your ISP directly.  
Your ISP may protect this player from being con-  
nected to network when confirming MAC  
ADDRESS. In that case, contact your ISP to  
request to initialize MAC ADDRESS.

Playing a movie  
Note:  
Even if you use a high-resolution setup, audio/video  
quality may be compromised based on the speed of  
your broadband internet connection.  
While watching a movie or TV episode from Netflix  
via your player, you have full control over your view-  
ing experience. You can use the buttons on the  
remote to pause and resume viewing and to scan  
forward and backward, just like when you watch a  
DVD. While playing a movie, the buttons on the  
remote do the following:  
Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) determines your  
broadband speed. We recommend a minimum con-  
nection speed of 1.5 Mbps. For the best quality pic-  
ture, a connection speed of 4.0 Mbps is required.  
Sometimes your broadband speed varies based on  
your ISP’s network conditions. Contact your ISP if  
you have problems maintaining a fast connection  
that is reliable, or if you want to increase your con-  
nection speed. Many ISPs offer a variety of broad-  
band speed options.

Notes:  
*1 The secondary and interactive audio may not be included in the output bitstream if [SPDIF] or [HDMI]  
option is set to [Primary Pass-Thru]. (Except LPCM Codec : the output always include interactive and  
secondary audio.)  
*2 This player automatically selects the HDMI audio according to the decoding capability of the connected  
HDMI device even though [HDMI] option is set to [Primary Pass-Thru].  
*3 The [PCM Multi-CH]/[Primary Pass-Thru] setting of the [HDMI] option and [DTS re-encode] setting of the  
[SPDIF] option cannot be set together. If you set the [HDMI] option to [PCM Multi-CH] or  
[Primary Pass-Thru], the [SPDIF] option is set to [PCM Stereo] automatically. Also, if you set the [SPDIF]  
option to [DTS Re-encode] and the [HDMI] option is set to [PCM Stereo] automatically.  
*4 The LPCM audio recorded at 192kHz sampling frequency will be outputted as stereo sound.  
*5 On the PCM audio output, the sampling frequency of HDMI/SPDIF (DIGITAL AUDIO OUT) is limited to  
96 kHz.  
*6 If the [HDMI] or [SPDIF] option is set to [DTS re-encode], the audio output is limited to 48 kHz and  
5.1 ch. If the [HDMI] or [SPDIF] option is set to [DTS re-encode], the DTS Re-encode audio is outputted  
for BD-ROM discs, and the original audio is outputted for the other discs (like [Primary Pass-Thru]).  
If [HDMI] option is set to [PCM Multi-CH] and [SPDIF] option is set to [Primary Pass-Thru] when the unit  
plays back Dolby Digital Plus audio, SPDIF (DIGITAL AUDIO OUT) jack is limited to “PCM 2ch”.  
If the HDMI connection is version 1.3 and Dolby Digital Plus/Dolby TrueHD/DTS-HD is outputted from  
HDMI OUT jack, SPDIF (DIGITAL AUDIO OUT) jack is limited to “PCM 2ch” (When the HDMI and SPDIF  
are connected simultaneously).  
The audio is always output as PCM 48kHz/16 bit during Audio CD or MP3/WMA file is playing back.  
The Dolby TrueHD audio recorded on the BD disc is consist of Dolby Digital and TrueHD audio. The  
Dolby Digital audio is outputted through DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks and DD displays on the screen if the  
player does not use Lossless audio. (for example, when [HDMI] is set to [PCM Stereo] or  
[DTS Re-encode] and [SPDIF] is set to [Primary Pass-Thru])
