Connecting to your
Home Network

This player can be connected to a local area
network (LAN) via the LAN port on the rear
panel or the internal wireless module.
By connecting the unit to a broadband home
network, you have access to services such
as software updates, Home Link, BD-LIVE
interactivity and streaming services.

Wired network connection

Using a wired network provides the best
performance, because the attached devices
connect directly to the network and are not
subject to radio frequency interference.
Please refer to the documentation for your
network device for further instructions.
Connect the player’s LAN port to the
corresponding port on your Modem or Router
using a commercially available LAN or Ethernet
cable (CAT5 or better with RJ45 connector).
In the example con guration for wired
connection below, this player would be able to
access content from either of the PCs.

Wireless Network Connection

Another connection option is to use an Access

con guration for wireless connection below,
this player would be able to access content
from either of the PCs.

The network con guration and connection
method may vary depending on the
equipment in use and the network
environment.

This player is equipped with an IEEE 802.11n
(2.4 GHz band only) wireless module, which
also supports the 802.11b/g standards. For the
best wireless performance, we recommend
using a IEEE 802.11n certi ed Wi-Fi network
(access point or wireless router).

Refer to the setup instructions supplied with
your access point or wireless router for detailed
connection steps and network settings.

many stores in lengths of 50 feet and longer. If
you do chose to use the wireless option, note that
performance can sometimes be a ected by other
electronic devices in the home.

Wireless Network Setup

For the wireless network connection, the
player needs to be set up for network
communication. This adjustment can be done
from the [Setup] menu. Adjust the [NETWORK]

*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 is
output for BD-ROM discs, and the original
audio is output 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 output
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  le and PCM

44.1 kHz/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
Ampli er (or AV receiver) accepts using
[Digital Output], [HDMI] and [Sampling
Freq.] options on the [Setup] menu (see
page 30).

With digital audio connection (DIGITAL

•
AUDIO OUT 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.
