PRECAUTIONS  
Precautions on viewing stereoscopic 3D images  
• Do not view stereoscopic 3D images if you have a history of photosensitivity, heart disease or poor health. This may  
cause the symptoms to worsen.  
• If you experience any health problems such as fatigue and discomfort while viewing stereoscopic 3D images, immediately  
discontinue viewing. Continuing viewing after symptoms appear may cause health risks. Take a break until the symptoms  
have completely disappeared.  
• Ages of 5–6 or over are recommended for viewing stereoscopic 3D images. Symptoms such as fatigue and discomfort  
are difficult to determine in young children, therefore they may suddenly become ill. When viewing 3D images with  
children, please watch for eye strain symptoms.  
• When viewing stereoscopic 3D images, take a moderate break after watching one title. Viewing for extended periods may  
cause visual strain.  
Precautions when cleaning this product  
• Turn off the main power and unplug the AC cord from the wall outlet before handling.  
• To clean the outer cabinet, periodically wipe it with a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.).  
• For severe dirt, soak a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.) in some neutral detergent diluted with water, wring the cloth out  
thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then wipe again with a soft, dry cloth.  
• Do not use chemicals or a chemically treated cloth for cleaning. It may damage the cabinet finish.  
Notes on using Wireless LAN  
• When this player is connected to a wireless LAN network, transmissions between the wireless LAN components inside  
this player and a wireless LAN compatible broadband router (commercially available) are carried out.  
Precautions on using Wireless LAN  
• The following devices, radio stations, etc. use the same frequency bands. Do not use wireless LAN near them.  
Manufacturing/scientific/diagnostic equipment such as pacemakers, etc.  
Specified low power radio stations (radio stations that do not require a license)  
If this player is used near these devices, there is a possibility that radio wave interference may occur. Therefore  
transmission may not be possible or speed may be reduced.  
• Mobile phones, radios, etc. use different radio frequency bands from wireless LAN, so there will not be any effect on the  
transmissions of these devices or wireless LAN if this player is used near them.  
However, if a wireless LAN product is placed near one of these devices, audio or video noise may occur due to the  
electromagnetic waves that emit from wireless LAN products.  
• Radio waves will pass through the wood, glass, etc. used in standard housing, however they will not pass through  
reinforcing bars, metal, concrete, etc. Radio waves will not pass through walls and floors if these materials are used.

software versions on all units and contact the individual  
manufacturers for further help if required.  
To avoid inconveniences, please check the playback  
compatibility of your self-recorded disc before you  
purchase this BD-player. For maximum playback  
compatibility of self-recorded BD-discs Sharp recommends  
that the BDMV/BDAV standards are used. If a playback  
issue occurs after purchase, please download the latest

recorded at a fast speed can produce noise and may not  
be able to be played.  
• The more folders there are, the longer the reading time.  
• Depending on the folder tree, reading MP3 files can take  
time.  
• The playing time may not be correctly displayed during  
MP3 file playback.  
The following files cannot be played on this  
player.  
• When both Audio CD [CD-DA] format and JPEG/MP3 file  
formats are recorded on a disc. (The disc is recognised to  
be an Audio CD [CD-DA] only tracks in Audio CD [CD-DA]  
format are played back.)

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 31).  
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.  
Linear PCM  
Linear PCM is a signal recording format used for Audio  
CDs and on some DVD and Blu-ray discs. The sound  
on Audio CDs is recorded at 44.1 kHz with 16 bits.  
(Sound is recorded between 48 kHz with 16 bits and 96  
kHz with 24 bits on DVD video discs and between 48  
kHz with 16 bits and 192 kHz with 24 bits on BD video  
discs.)

Progressive format  
Compared to the Interlace format that alternately  
shows every other line of an image (field) to create one  
frame, the Progressive format shows the entire image  
at once as a single frame. This means that while the  
Interlace format can show 30 frames/60 fields in one  
second, the Progressive format can show 60 frames in  
one second. The overall picture quality increases and  
still images, text, and horizontal lines appear sharper.
