restrictions may be adopted and/or changed by
AACS after the production of this product.

• Furthermore, BD-ROM Mark and BD+ are

additionally used as content protection systems

including playback restrictions for BD-ROM
Mark and/or BD+ protected contents. To obtain
additional information on AACS, BD-ROM Mark,
BD+, or this product, please contact an authorized
Customer Service Centre.

• Many BD-ROM/DVD discs are encoded with

copy protection. Because of this, you should only
connect your player directly to your TV, not to a

picture from copy-protected discs.

• This product incorporates copyright protection

technology that is protected by U.S. patents
and other intellectual property rights. Use of
this copyright protection technology must be
authorized by Rovi, and is intended for home and

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
