Your Blu-ray disc player can be connected to your home network:

By connecting an Ethernet cable to the ETHERNET jack on the rear of your player and to a wired hub or router. 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.
By connecting through the built-in wireless device and a wireless access point or router.•

Connecting your player to a wired router:

Connect an Ethernet cable (CAT5 or better with RJ45 connector) to the • ETHERNET jack on the back of your player
and to an Ethernet jack on a hub or broadband router.

Notes:

Do not connect a modul ar •
phone cable to the ETHERNET
jack.
When plugging or unplugging •
the cable, hold the connector
on the end of the cable. When
unplugging, do not pull on the
cable. Press down the lock tab
and pull the connector out of
the jack.
Because there are vario us •
con nec tio n conf igurati ons ,
follo w the instr uction s from
your telecommunication carrier
or Internet service provider.

Connecting your player to a wireless access point or router:

Your Blu-ray disc player has an integrated Wi-Fi device and antenna. No physical connection to the wireless router is
necessary.

Confi gure your player to access the wireless access point or router. For more information, see “Confi guring a wireless •
Internet connection” on page 36.
The network confi guration and connection method may vary depending on the equipment in use and the network •
environment. Your Blu-ray disc player is equipped with an IEEE 802.11n wireless module, which also supports the

802.11 a/b/g/n standards. For the best wireless performance, we recommend using an IEEE 802.11n certifi ed Wi-Fi
network (access point or wireless router).

Wireless access point

Modem Cable

Modem Port

Notes:

You must use a wireless IP sharer that supports IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n. •
(n is recommended for stable operation of the wireless network.)

Wireless LAN, in its nature, may cause interference, depending on the •
use condition (AP performance, distance, obstacle, interference by
other radio devices, etc.).

Set the wireless IP sharer to Infrastructure mode. Ad-hoc mode is not •
supported.

When applying the security key for the AP (wireless IP sharer), only •
the following is supported.

1) Authentication Mode : WPAPSK, WPA2PSK

2) Encryption Type : WEP, TKIP, AES

Notes:

Please turn the volume down when you turn on the Amplifi er. Sudden loud sound may cause damage to the speakers •

from certain Blu-ray discs.
When connecting to a 5.1 channel home theater or receiver, connect all the •

MULTI CHANNEL AUDIO OUTPUT jacks

from the player except for the SBL (Surround Back Left) / SBR (Surround Back Right) outputs.

You can connect the speakers as shown in the following diagram to obtain the 7.1 audio channels effects. Using the audio
cables, connect the MULTI CHANNEL AUDIO OUTPUT (SBL, SBR, C, SW, SL, SR, FL & FR) terminals on the rear of
the Blu-ray disc player to 7.1 Channel ANALOG AUDIO IN terminals of your Amplifi er.

For speaker confi guration, please refer to “Speaker Setting” on page 32.

Connections

How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound fi eld. Note the following points:

Place speakers on fl at secure bases.•
Placing speakers too close to fl oors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with •
thick curtains.

Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper ventilation.•

Setup example (For 7.1 audio channels)

Positioning the Speakers (For 7.1 Audio Channel)

Note:

The above setup illustration is a basic overview on what to expect when hooking speakers up to your home theater system. The
placement may vary depending on how many and what type of loudspeakers you have, as well as your room size, shape, and
acoustical properties.

Front speakers

To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain
good airflow around the main unit, position it with
at least 5 cm of space on all sides.

Place the surround back speakers behind the
listening position - slightly to the left and right ­at about 140

o

-150o from the center speaker.

Place the center speaker directly in front of the
listening area, either above or below the TV.
Vibration caused by the speaker can disrupt the
picture if it is placed on directly on the TV.

Center speaker

Surround Back speakers

(may be elevated above
the listener)

Place the left and right surround speakers to the

Structure of Disc/SD Card Contents

BD-video and DVD-video are recorded in different color
systems throughout the world. The most common color
system is NTSC (which is used primarily in the United
States and Canada).

This unit has been designed to play back BD-video with
region “A” and DVD-video with region “1” or “ALL”. You
cannot play back BD-video or DVD-video that are labeled
for other regions. Look for the symbols on the right on your
