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
Center.

• Viewing high-de nition content and up­converting standard DVD content may
require a HDMI-capable input or HDCP­capable DVI input on your display device.

• Some BD-ROM and DVD discs may restrict

NOTE

• If there is a strong electromagnetic wave

• If there is no audio signal for longer than 10

minutes, the Wireless Receiver will automatically
switch to standby mode. In power saving mode,
both LEDs will turn red. LEDs will turn blue when
there is any audio signal back.

• If you operate main unit then wireless speakers

• Set the distance between this unit and Wireless

Receiver within 10 m (32 ft.).

• Optimum performance can be implemented

only when the Wireless Transmitter and the
Wireless Receiver within distance of 2 m (6 ft.) to
10 m (32 ft.) is used since communication failure
may occur if longer distance is used.

• Be sure to match the speaker cable to the

appropriate terminal on the components: + to +
and – to –. If the cables are reversed, the sound
will be distorted and will lack bass.

• It takes a few seconds (and may take longer) for

the Wireless Transmitter and Wireless Receiver to
communicate with each other.

• Use the rear speaker at least 30 cm (11 inch)

away from either TV screen or PC monitor.

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
