BD-ROM Disc Features

BD-ROM Discs can store 25 GB (single layer) or 50 GB (dual layer) on a
single sided disc - about 5 to 10 times the capacity of a DVD.
BD-ROM Discs also support the highest quality HD video available in the
industry (up to 1920 x 1080) - Large capacity means no compromise on
video quality. Furthermore, a BD-ROM disc has the same familiar size and
look as DVD.

 The following BD-ROM disc features are disc dependent and will vary.
 Appearance and navigation of features will also vary from disc to disc.
 Not all discs will have the features described below.
 BD-ROM, Hybrid disc have both BD-ROM and DVD (or CD) layers on

one side. On such discs, BD-ROM layer will be only played back in this
player.

Video highlights

The BD-ROM format for movie distribution supports three highly advanced
video codecs, including MPEG-2, MPEG4 AVC (H.264), and SMPTE VC1.
HD video resolutions are also available:

 1920 x 1080 HD
 1280 x 720 HD

Graphic planes

Two individual, full HD resolution (1920x1080) graphic planes (layers) are
available on top of the HD video layer. One plane is assigned to video­related, frame accurate graphics (like subtitles), and the other plane is
assigned to interactive graphic elements, such as buttons or menus.
For both planes, various wipes, fades and scroll effects may be available.

For High-Definition Playback

To view high-definition contents from BD-ROM discs, an HDTV is required.
Some discs may require HDMI OUT for viewing of high-definition contents.
Ability to view high-definition contents in BD-ROM discs may be limited
depending on the resolution of your TV.

Menu sounds

When you highlight or select a menu option, sounds can be heard such as
button clicks or a voice-over explaining the highlighted menu choice.

Multi-page/PopUp Menus

With DVD-Video, playback is interrupted each time a new menu screen is
accessed. Due to BD-ROM disc’s ability to preload data from the disc
without interrupting playback, a menu can consist of several pages.

while the audio and video remain playing in the background.

Interactivity

Certain BD-ROM Discs may contain animated menus and/or trivia games.

User Browsable Slideshows

BD-ROM titles.

commands or features.

• Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD are supported with
maximum 5.1 channels if you use HDMI connection for the audio output

Certain System Requirements

For high definition video playback:

• High definition display that has COMPONENT or HDMI input jacks.

• BD-ROM disc with high definition content.

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

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

Important Notice for TV colour system

The colour system of this player differs according to currently playing
discs.
For example, when the player plays back the disc recorded in the NTSC
colour system, the image is outputted as a NTSC signal.
Only the multi system colour TV can receive all signals outputted from the
player.

Notes:

• If you have a PAL colour system TV, you will see just distorted images
when using discs or video contents recorded in NTSC.

• The multi system colour TV changes the colour system automatically
according to input signals. In case that the colour system is not changed
automatically, turn it off and then on to see normal images on screen.

• Even if the disc recorded in NTSC colour system are well displayed on
your TV, these may not be recorded correctly on your recorder.

Iinternet connection

This player can be connected to a local area network (LAN) via the LAN
port on the rear panel.
By connecting the unit to a broadband home network, you have access to
services such as software updates, My Media, BD-Live interactivity and
streaming services.
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 configuration for wired connection below, this player would
be able to access content from any PC connected via the Modem/Router.

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.

Cautions:

• When plugging or unplugging the LAN cable, hold the plug portion of the
cable. When unplugging, do not pull on the LAN cable but unplug while
pressing down on the lock.

• Do not connect a modular phone cable to the LAN port.

• Since there are various connection configurations, please follow the
specifications of your telecommunication carrier or internet service
provider.

• Adjusting [NETWORK] settings

If there is a DHCP server on the local area network (LAN) via wired
connection, this player will automatically be allocated an IP address.

may require the player's network setting to be adjusted. Adjust the
[NETWORK] setting as follows.

1.

Select the [Connection Setting]
option in the [Setup] menu then
press B or ENTER.
