• To turn this apparatus off completely, you must

pull the power plug out of the wall socket. Consequently, the power plug must be easily and readily accessible at all times.

English 3

Safety Information

• Do not plug multiple electric devices into the same wall socket. Overloading a socket can cause it to overheat, resulting in a fire.

• Before connecting other components to this player, be sure to turn them off.

• If you move your player suddenly from a cold place to a warm place, condensation may occur on the operating parts and lens and cause abnormal disc playback. If this occurs, unplug the player, wait for two hours, and then connect the plug to the power outlet. Then, insert the disc, and try to play back again.

• If the product makes an abnormal noise or produces a burning smell or smoke, turn off the power switch immediately and disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet. Then, contact the nearest customer service center for technical assistance. Do not use the product. Using the product as it is may cause a fire or an electric shock.

Using the 3D function

IMPORTANT HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION FOR 3D PICTURES. Read and understand the following safety information before using the 3D function.

• Some viewers may experience discomfort while viewing 3D TV such as dizziness, nausea, and headaches. If you experience any such symptom, stop viewing 3D TV, remove the 3D Active Glasses, and rest.

• Watching 3D images for an extended period of time may cause eye strain. If you feel eye strain, stop viewing 3D TV, remove your 3D Active Glasses, and rest.

• A responsible adult should frequently check on children who are using the 3D function. If there are any reports of tired eyes, headaches, dizziness, or nausea, have the child stop viewing 3D TV and rest.

• Do not use the 3D Active Glasses for other purposes (Such as general eyeglasses, sunglasses, protective goggles, etc.).

• Do not use the 3D function or 3D Active Glasses while walking or moving around. Using the 3D function or 3D Active Glasses while moving around may cause you to bump into objects, trip, and/or fall, and cause serious injury.

• If you want to enjoy 3D content, connect a 3D device (3D compliant AV receiver or TV) to the player's HDMI OUT port using a high-speed HDMI cable. Put on 3D glasses before playing the 3D content.

• The player outputs 3D signals only through HDMI cable connected to the HDMI OUT port.

BD Wise is Samsung's latest inter-connectivity feature. When you connect a Samsung player and a Samsung TV with BD Wise to each other via HDMI, and BD Wise is on in both the player and TV, the player outputs video at the video resolution and frame rate of the Blu-ray Disc/DVD.

Set the output resolution of the HDMI video signal to BD Wise, Auto, 1080p, 1080i, 720p or 480p. The number indicates the number of lines of video per frame. The i and p indicate interlaced and progressive scan, respectively. Generally, the more lines, the higher quality.

If the player is connected to a 24Fs compatible TV, setting the Movie Frame (24Fs) feature to Auto lets the player adjust its HDMI output to 24 frames per second automatically for improved picture quality.
