BD-ROM Disc Features  
BD-ROM Discs can store 25 GB (single layer) or  
50 GB (dual layer) on a single sided disc - about  
5 to 10 times the capacity of a DVD.  
When you highlight or select a menu option, sounds  
can be heard such as button clicks or a voice-over  
explaining the highlighted menu choice.  
Multi-page/PopUp Menus  
BD-ROM Discs also support the highest quality HD  
video available in the industry (up to 1920 x 1080) -  
Large capacity means no compromise on video  
quality. Furthermore, a BD-ROM disc has the same  
familiar size and look as DVD.

new menu screen is accessed. Due to BD-ROM  
disc’s ability to preload data from the disc without  
interrupting playback, a menu can consist of several  
pages.  
You can browse through the menu pages or select  
different menu paths, while the audio and video  
remain playing in the background.

Internet connection  
This player can be connected to a local area net-  
work (LAN) via the LAN port on the rear panel.  
After making the physical connection the player  
needs to be set up for network communication. This  
is done from the [Setup] menu — see “[NETWORK]  
Menu” on page 22 for detailed instructions.  
Connect the player’s LAN port to the corresponding  
port on your Modem or Router using a LAN cable.  
Use a commercially available straight LAN cable  
(Category 5/CAT5 or better with RJ45 connector).

Some internet contents may require a higher  
bandwidth connection.  
Even if the player is properly connected and con-  
figured, some internet contents may not operate  
properly because of internet congestion, the  
quality or bandwidth of your internet service, or  
problems at the provider of the content.
