FEATURES

his unit has many features, some are outlined below. Please read the owner’s manual to take full advantage of

T all the features this unit has to offer.

• BD-ROM Playback BD-ROM is a next generation optical disc format in the HD era. Featuring massive storage capacity of 25 to 50 GB (five times larger than a DVD) and a high-speed transfer rate of up to 54 Mbps, this format offers not only uncompromised HD quality video* audio up to 8ch, and interactive operability. * A compatible HD display device is necessary to enjoy the same quality.

†

Some discs allow viewing only with an HDMI connection.

• 24p True Cinema Movies shot with a film camera consist of 24 frames per second. Since conventional televisions (both CRT and flat panels) display frames either at 1/60 or 1/50 second intervals, the 24 frames do not appear at an even pace. When connected to a TV with 24p capabilities, the player displays each frame at 1/24 second intervals — the same interval originally shot with the film camera, thus faithfully reproducing the original cinema image.

• BD-J application The BD-ROM format supports Java for interactive functions. “BD-J” offers content providers almost unlimited functionality when creating interactive BD-ROM titles. Java and all Java-based trademarks and logos are trademarks or registered trademarks of Sun Microsystems, Inc. in the U.S. and other countries.

†

, but also enables rich bonus content on a single disc and HD quality

• BD-Live Some BD-ROM discs labelled, “BD-Live” contain interactive information, trivia games, etc. The player must be connected to the internet as described later in this manual.

• Firmware Update Firmware is software in the player that controls the unit’s microprocessor. The software (firmware) can be downloaded from www.memorex.com and then copied to a CD or DVD. The firmware can be updated from the CD/DVD only. We recommend updating to the latest firmware to enhance the product’s operation and/or add new features.

• HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) digital interface When connected to an HDMI-equipped display device using a single HDMI cord, the player can output both SD to HD video and multi-channel audio signals, in digital form without degradation. The HDMI specification supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), a copy protection technology that incorporates coding technology for digital video signals.

NOTES ON HANDLING:

• When shipping the player, always use the original shipping carton and packing materials. For maximum protection, repack the unit as it was originally packed at

he factory.

• Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the player. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the player for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish.

• The top and rear panels of the player may become warm after a long period of use. This is normal and not a malfunction.

• When the player is not in use, be sure to remove the disc and turn off the power.

• If you do not use the player for a long period, the unit may not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the player occasionally.

LOCATING THE PLAYER:

When you place this player near a TV, radio or VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the sound may be distorted. In this case, move the player away from the TV, radio or VCR.

NOTES ON CLEANING:

Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.

• For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak detergent solution, wring well and wipe. Use a dry cloth to wipe it dry. Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner or benzene, as it may damage the surface of the player.

• If you use a chemical-saturated cloth to clean the unit, follow that product’s instructions.

Warning: Cleaning and adjustment of lenses and/or other components of playback mechanism should be performed by a qualified service technician.

TO OBTAIN A CLEAR PICTURE:

he player is a high technology, precision device. If the

T optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the picture quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear picture, we recommend regular inspection and

aintenance (cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000

m hours of use depending on the operating environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.

NOTES ON MOISTURE CONDENSATION:

Moisture condensation damages the player. Please read the following carefully.

• Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens inside this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the player.

Moisture condensation occurs during the following cases:

• When you bring the player directly from a cold place to a warm place.

• When you use the player in a room where you just turned on the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the air conditioner directly hits the unit.

• In summer, when you use the player in a hot and humid place just after you moved the unit from an air conditioned room.

• When you use the player in a humid place.

Do not use the player when moisture condensation may occur.

• If you use the player in such a situation, it may damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord of the player to the wall outlet, turn on the player and leave it “ON” for two or three hours. After two or three hours, the player will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the player connected to the wall outlet and moisture condensation will seldom occur.

POWER SOURCE

Insert the AC plug (with the 2 blades) into a conveniently located AC outlet having 120V, 60Hz.

NOTE: The AC plug supplied with the unit is polarized to help minimize the possibility of electric shock. If the AC plug does not ﬁt into a nonpolarized AC outlet, do not ﬁle or cut the wide blade. It is the user’s responsibility to have an electrician replace the obsolete outlet.
