Step 3: Inserting the External Memory

To enjoy additional content (such as BONUSVIEW/BD-LIVE) on certain Blu-ray Disc titles, you will need to use external memory (not supplied). Insert the external memory device (1 GB or larger USB flash memory, such as Sony USM2GL, USM4GL, or USM1GH) into the EXT slot as your local storage.

The BD-LIVE function will not be available even if you insert the external memory in the USB jack on the front panel.

Insert the external memory into the EXT slot as far as it will go.

Check that the EXT indicator lights up in the front panel display when turning the player on.

Rear of the player

Sony USM2GL (not supplied)

• Insert the external memory straight. If you force the external memory into the slot, this will cause damage to both the external memory and the player.

• Keep the external memory away from small children to prevent them from accidentally swallowing the external memory.

• Do not apply too much pressure to the external memory in the slot, as it may cause a malfunction.

• We recommend use of the Sony USM2GL available as of April 2009.

• Other USB flash devices may support this function. However we cannot guarantee compatibility with all USB flash memories.

• When inserting a USB flash memory, check the insertion direction before inserting it.

• Depending on the USB flash memory, it may stick out from the EXT slot. Do not force into the slot or apply pressure to the protruding portion of the USB flash memory.

• Do not connect anything other than a USB flash memory to the EXT slot.

• To avoid data corruption or damage to the external memory, turn the player off when inserting or removing the external memory.

• When the EXT indicator does not light up, turn the player off, remove and re-insert the external memory, then turn the player on again.

• Do not insert the external memory that contains photo or music files to avoid corrupting the external memory data.

• When re-formatting the USB flash memory, use FAT16 or FAT32 format.

About playback of discs recorded in AVCHD format

This player can play AVCHD format discs.

A high-definition specification which utilizes 1080 effective scanning lines and the interlace system.

A high-definition specification which utilizes 720 effective scanning lines and the progressive system.

What is the AVCHD format?

The AVCHD format is a high-definition digital video camera format used to record SD (standard definition) or HD (high definition) signals of either the 1080i specification specification compression coding technology. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is adopted to compress video data, and the Dolby Digital or Linear PCM system is used to compress audio data. The MPEG-4 AVC/ H.264 format is capable of compressing images at higher efficiency than that of the conventional image compressing format. The MPEG-4 AVC/ H.264 format enables a high definition (HD) video signal shot on a digital video camera recorder to be recorded on DVD discs, in the same way as it would be for a standard definition (SD) television signal.

About Wireless LAN

Specifications

Security

Since communication via the wireless LAN function is established by radio waves, the wireless signal may be susceptible to interception. To protect wireless communication, this player supports various security functions. Be sure to correctly configure the security settings in accordance with your network environment.

No Security

Although you can easily make settings, anyone can intercept wireless communication or intrude into your wireless network, even without any sophisticated tools. Keep in mind that there is a risk of unauthorized access or interception of data.

WEP

WEP applies security to communications to prevent outsiders from intercepting communications or intruding into your wireless network. WEP is a legacy security technology that enables older devices, which do not support TKIP/AES, to be connected.

WPA-PSK (TKIP)

TKIP is a security technology developed to correct for the deficiencies of WEP. TKIP assures a higher security level than WEP.

WPA-PSK (AES), WPA2-PSK (AES)

AES is a security technology that uses an advanced security method that is distinct from WEP and TKIP. AES assures a higher security level than WEP or TKIP.

Glossary

AACS

“Advanced Access Content System” is a specification for managing digital entertainment contents stored on the next generation of prerecorded and recorded optical media. The specification enables consumers to enjoy digital entertainment content, including high-definition content.

AVCHD (page 71)

The AVCHD format is a high definition digital video camera format used to record SD (standard definition) or HD (high definition) signals of either the 1080i specification DVDs, using efficient data compression coding technology. The MPEG-4 AVC/ H.264 format is adopted to compress video data, and the Dolby Digital or Linear PCM is used to compress audio data. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is capable of compressing images at higher efficiency than that of the conventional image compression format. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format enables a high definition (HD) video signal shot on a digital video camera recorder to be recorded on DVDs in the same way as for a standard definition (SD) television signal.

A high definition specification that utilises 1080 effective scanning lines and the interlace format.

A high definition specification that utilises 720 effective scanning lines and the progressive format.

BD-R (page 69)

BD-R (Blu-ray Disc Recordable) is a recordable, write-once Blu-ray Disc, available in the same capacities as the BD below. Since contents can be recorded and cannot be overwritten, a BD-R can be used to archive valuable data or storing and distributing video material.

BD-RE (page 69)

BD-RE (Blu-ray Disc Rewritable) is a recordable and rewritable Blu-ray Disc, available in the same capacities as the BD below. The re-recordable feature makes extensive editing and time-shifting applications possible.

BD-ROM (page 69)

BD-ROMs (Blu-ray Disc Read-Only Memory) are commercially produced discs and are available in the same capacities as the BD below. Other than conventional movie and video contents, these discs have enhanced features such as interactive content, menu operations using pop-up menus, selection of subtitle display, and slideshow. Although a BD-ROM may contain any form of data, most BD-ROM discs will contain movies in High Definition format, for playback on Blu-ray Disc/DVD players.

Blu-ray Disc (BD) (page 69)

A disc format developed for recording/ playing high-definition (HD) video (for HDTV, etc.), and for storing large amounts of data. A single layer Blu-ray Disc holds up to 25 GB, and a dual-layer Blu-ray Disc holds up to 50 GB of data.

Deep Colour (page 50)

These are video signals for which the colour depth of signals passing through an HDMI jack have been enhanced. With a Non-Deep Colour-compatible player, the number of colours 1 pixel can express is 8 bits per component video signal (Y, P (24 bits/16,777,216 colours). However, with a Deep Colour-compatible player, 1 pixel can express more bits, such as 12 bits per component video signal (Y, P (36 bits). With more bits, the gradation of colour depth can be expressed more finely, and continuous colour changes will be displayed more smoothly.

x.v.Colour (page 50)

x.v.Colour is a familiar term for the xvYCC standard proposed by Sony. xvYCC is an international standard for colour space in video. This standard can express a wider colour range than the currently used broadcast standard.

24p True Cinema (page 49)

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.
