9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one  
wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the  
third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for

10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point  
where they exit from the apparatus.  
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.  
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.  
When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.  
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.  
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been  
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects

controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the  
product to its normal operation,  
e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and  
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service.  
19) Replacement Parts—When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement  
parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions  
may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-  
line surges.

Troubleshooting  
Network  
Problem  
Possible causes and solutions  
Cannot connect to the Internet.

player connected to the wireless LAN adapter? As this may cause interference with  
the wireless signal, make sure to keep obstacles away.  
• Is the proper value(s) set in the network setting? Check “Communication Setup”.  
(Pages 53–55)  
Cannot download BD-LIVE contents. • Is the LAN cable or the wireless LAN adapter connected properly?  
• Is the USB memory device properly connected? Check that the USB memory  
device is connected to the USB1 or USB2 terminal of this Player.  
• Check if the BD disc supports BD-LIVE.  
• Check the setting for “BD Internet Access”. (Page 52)  
Other  
Problem  
Possible causes and solutions  
The TV operates incorrectly.  
• Some TVs with wireless remote control capability may operate incorrectly when  
using the remote control of this Player. Use such TVs away from this Player.  
The Player heats up during use.  
POWER indicator will remain lit.  
• When using this Player, the console cabinet may heat up depending on the usage  
environment. This is not a malfunction.  
• When the AC cord is removed from the outlet, the POWER indicator will remain lit  
for a short period. This is normal and is not a malfunction.  
To Reset this Player  
• If this Player receives strong interference from a source such as excessive static electricity,  
strong external noise, malfunction of power supply, or voltage caused by lightning during  
use or a wrong operation is sent to the Player, errors like the Player not accepting an  
operation may occur.  
POWER  
Press and hold POWER on the Player until “  
” appears on the front panel display  
when the Player does not operate properly even after the power has been turned off. Then,  
after the POWER indicator is lit, turn on the power.  
• When a reset is performed while the power is on, the Player will turn off. Turn the power on again. At this point, it may take  
a few moments for the system processing to finish before the Player is ready for use. During the system processing, the  
BD/DVD/CD mode indicator on the front panel display of the Player will blink. Once the system processing has finished, the  
indicator will finish blinking and then light up normally. You can operate the Player when the BD/DVD/CD mode indicator is lit.  
• Since all settings including the language setting stored in memory are also reset when a reset has been performed, they must  
be set again.  
• When the problem persists even after performing a reset, unplug the AC cord and plug it in again. If this does not solve the  
problem, contact the nearest service center approved by SHARP.
