IMPORTANT SAFETY  
INSTRUCTIONS  
1. Read these instructions.  
2. Keep these instructions.  
3. Heed all warnings.  
Because AACS (Advanced Access Content System)  
is approved as content protection system for BD  
format, similar to use of CSS (Content Scramble  
System) for DVD format, certain restrictions are  
imposed on playback, analog signal output, etc.,  
of AACS protected contents. The operation of this  
product and restrictions on this product may vary  
depending on your time of purchase as those  
restrictions may be adopted and/or changed by  
AACS after the production of this product.

4. Follow all instructions.  
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.  
6. Clean only with dry cloth.  
•
Furthermore, BD-ROM Mark and BD+ are  
additionally used as content protection systems  
for BD format, which imposes certain restrictions  
including playback restrictions for BD-ROM  
Mark and/or BD+ protected contents. To obtain  
additional information on AACS, BD-ROM Mark,  
BD+, or this product, please contact an authorized

Because BD-ROM is a new format,  
certain disc, digital connection and other  
compatibility issues are possible. If you  
experience compatibility problems, please  
contact an authorized Customer Service  
Center.  
•
•
The AVCHD format is a high definition  
digital video camera format.  
The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is capable  
of compressing images at higher efficiency  
than that of the conventional image  
compressing format.  
•

converting standard DVD content may  
require a HDMI-capable input or HDCP-  
capable DVI input on your display device.  
•
•
•
Some AVCHD discs use the“x.v.Color”  
format.  
•
•
Some BD-ROM and DVD discs may restrict  
the use of some operation commands or  
features.  
This player can playback AVCHD discs using  
“x.v.Color”format.

HD are supported with maximum 7.1  
channels if you use HDMI connection for  
the audio output of the unit.  
Some AVCHD format discs may not play  
depending on the recording condition.  
•
•
AVCHD format discs need to be finalized.  
“x.v.Color”offers a wider color range than  
normal DVD camcorder discs.  
•
You can use the internal hard disk drive  
or a USB device to store some disc related  
information, including downloaded on-line  
content. The disc you are using will control  
how long this information is retained.

Handling the Unit  
Handling Discs  
When shipping the unit  
Do not touch the playback side of the disc.  
Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints  
do not get on the surface. Never stick paper or  
tape on the disc.  
Please save the original shipping carton and  
packing materials. If you need to ship the unit,  
for maximum protection, re-pack the unit as it  
was originally packed at the factory.  
Storing Discs  
Keeping the exterior surfaces clean  
•
•
•
Do not use volatile liquids such as  
insecticide spray near the unit.  
After playing, store the disc in its case. Do not  
expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of  
heat and never leave it in a parked car exposed  
to direct sunlight.  
Wiping with strong pressure may damage  
the surface.  
5
Do not leave rubber or plastic products in  
contact with the unit for a long period of  
time.  
Cleaning Discs  
Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause  
poor picture quality and sound distortion.  
Before playing, clean the disc with a clean  
cloth. Wipe the disc from the center to out.  
Cleaning the unit  
To clean the player, use a soft, dry cloth. If  
the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft  
cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent  
solution. Do not use strong solvents such as  
alcohol, benzine, or thinner, as these might  
damage the surface of the unit.  
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol,  
benzine, thinner, commercially available  
cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for older  
vinyl records.  
Maintaining the Unit  
The unit is a high-tech, precision device. If  
the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts  
are dirty or worn, the picture quality could be  
diminished. For details, please contact your  
nearest authorized service center.

If the HDD fails, playback of content will  
not be possible. In this case, contact the LG  
service center by following methods.  
About the internal hard disk drive  
The internal hard disk drive (HDD) is a fragile  
piece of equipment. Please use the player  
following the guidelines below to protect  
against possible HDD failure.  
Web: http://us.lgservice.com  
Phone: 1-800-243-0000  
The manufacturer disclaims responsibility  
for loss of data contained in internal HDD.  
•
•
Do not move the player while it is on.  
Install and use a player on a stable, leveled  
surface.  
•
Do not use the player in excessively hot  
or humid places, or in places that may be  
subject to sudden changes in temperature.  
Sudden changes in temperature can cause  
condensation to form inside the player. This  
can be a cause of HDD failure.  
•
•
While the player is powered on, do not  
unplug from the wall socket or switch the  
electricity off from the breaker switch.  
Do not move the player immediately after  
switching it off. If you need to move the  
player, please follow the steps below:  
1. After the message“OFF”is shown in the  
display, wait at least two minutes.  
2. Unplug from the wall socket.  
3. Move the player.  
5
•
•
If there’s a power failure while the player is  
on, there is a chance that some data on the  
HDD will be lost.  
The HDD is very delicate. If used improperly  
or in an unsuitable environment, it is  
possible that the HDD will fail after a few  
years of use. Signs of problems include  
playback unexpectedly freezing and  
noticeable block noise (mosaic) in the  
picture. However, sometimes there will be  
no warning signs of HDD failure.

the output always include interactive and  
secondary audio.)

setting of the [HDMI] option and [DTS re-

option cannot be set together. If you set  
them together, the [HDMI] or [Digital

*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].  
*4 On the PCM audio output, the sampling  
frequency of DIGITAL AUDIO OUT is limited  
to 96 kHz.  
*5 If the [HDMI] or [Digital Output] option is  
set to [DTS re-encode], the audio output is  
limited to 48 kHz and 5.1Ch. If the [HDMI]  
or [Digital Output] option is set to [DTS  
re-encode], the DTS Re-encode audio  
Appendix 103  
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 [Digital Output] option is set to [Primary  
Pass-Thru] while playback Dolby Digital Plus  
or TrueHD audio, DIGITAL AUDIO OUT is  
limited to“PCM 2ch”.  
If the HDMI connection is version 1.3  
and Dolby Digital Plus/Dolby TrueHD is  
outputted from HDMI OUT jack, DIGITAL  
AUDIO OUT jack is limited to“PCM 2ch”  
(When the HDMI and DIGITAL AUDIO OUT  
are connected simultaneously).  
•
•
The audio is outputted as PCM 48 kHz/16  
bit for MP3/WMA file and PCM 44.1kHz/16  
bit for Audio CD while playback.  
The Dolby TrueHD audio recorded on some  
Blu-ray discs consists of Dolby Digital and  
TrueHD audio. Dolby Digital audio is output  
through DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks and“DD  
”displays on the screen if TrueHD audio is  
not output (for example, when [HDMI] is set  
to [PCM Stereo] and [Digital Output] is set  
to [Primary Pass-Thru]).  
•
•
You must select a digital audio output and  
a maximum sampling frequency that your  
Amplifier (or AV receiver) accepts using  
[Digital Output], [HDMI] and [Sampling  
Freq.] options on the [Setup] menu (see  
page 29-30).  
With digital audio connection (Digital  
Output or HDMI), Disc Menu button sounds  
of BD-ROM may not be heard if the [Digital  
Output] or [HDMI] option is set to [Primary  
Pass-Thru].

•
•
If the audio format of the digital output  
does not match the capabilities of your  
receiver, the receiver will produce a strong,  
distorted sound or no sound at all.  
Multi-channel Digital Surround Sound via  
digital connection can only be obtained  
if your receiver is equipped with a Digital  
Multi-channel decoder.
