NOTE

Depending on the conditions of the recording
equipment or the CD-R/RW (or DVD±R/RW )
disc itself, some CD-R/RW (or DVD±R/RW) discs
cannot be played on the unit.

Depending on the recording software & the
 nalization, some recorded discs (CD-R/RW,
DVD±R/RW, BD-R/RE) may not be playable.

BD-R/RE, DVD±R/RW and CD-R/RW discs

If you record a disc using a personal computer,
even if it is recorded in a compatible format,
there are cases in which it may not play because
of the settings of the application software used
to create the disc. (Check with the software
publisher for more detailed information.)

This player requires discs and recordings to meet
certain technical standards in order to achieve
optimal playback quality.

Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to
these standards. There are many di erent
types of recordable disc formats (including
CD-R containing MP3 or WMA  les) and these
require certain pre-existing conditions to ensure
compatible playback.

Customers should note that permission is
required in order to download MP3 / WMA  les
and music from the Internet. Our company has
no right to grant such permission. Permission
should always be sought from the copyright
owner.

•

High de nition display that has
COMPONENT or HDMI input jacks.

•

BD-ROM disc with high de nition content.

•

HDMI or HDCP capable DVI input on your
display device is required for some content
(as speci ed by disc authors).

•

For up-conversion of standard de nition
DVD, a HDMI or HDCP capable DVI input
on your display device is required for copy
protected content.

Compatibility Notes

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
Centre.

Viewing high-de nition content and up-

•
converting standard DVD content may

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.

Wired Network Setup

Before setting the wired network, you need to
connect the broadband internet to your home
network.

If there is a DHCP server on the local area
network (LAN) via wired connection, this player
will automatically be allocated an IP address.
After making the physical connection, a small
number of home networks may require the
player’s network setting to be adjusted. Adjust
the [NETWORK] setting as follow.

1. Select [Connection Setting] option in the

Normally, select [Dynamic] to allocate an IP
address automatically.

NOTE

If there is no DHCP server on the network and you
want to set the IP address manually, select [Static]
then set the [IP Address], [Subnet Mask], [Gateway]
and [DNS Server] using U/u/I/
buttons. If you make a mistake while entering a
number, press CLEAR to clear the highlighted part.

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 (2.4 GHz band only)
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.
