IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

Because AACS (Advanced Access Content System)

is approved as content protection system for BD

format, similar to use of CSS (Content Scramble

System) for DVD format, certain restrictions are

imposed on playback, analog signal output, etc.,

of AACS protected contents. The operation of this

product and restrictions on this product may vary

depending on your time of purchase as those

restrictions may be adopted and/or changed by

AACS after the production of this product.

4. Follow all instructions.

5. Do not use this apparatus near water.

6. Clean only with dry cloth.

•

Furthermore, BD-ROM Mark and BD+ are

additionally used as content protection systems

for BD format, which imposes certain restrictions

including playback restrictions for BD-ROM

Mark and/or BD+ protected contents. To obtain

additional information on AACS, BD-ROM Mark,

BD+, or this product, please contact an authorized

Customer Service Centre.

7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in

accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as

radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus

(including ampliﬁers) that produce heat.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized

or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has

two blades with one wider than the other. A

grounding type plug has two blades and a third

grounding prong. The wide blade or the third

prong are provided for your safety. If the provided

plug does not ﬁt into your outlet, consult an

electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

•

Many BD-ROM/DVD discs are encoded with

copy protection. Because of this, you should only

connect your player directly to your TV, not to a

VCR. Connecting to a VCR results in a distorted

picture from copy-protected discs.

Compatibility Notes

•

This player can playback AVCHD format

discs. These discs are normally recorded and

used in camcorders.

•

Because BD-ROM is a new format,

certain disc, digital connection and other

compatibility issues are possible. If you

experience compatibility problems, please

contact an authorized Customer Service

Center.

•

The AVCHD format is a high deﬁnition

digital video camera format.

The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is capable

of compressing images at higher eﬃciency

than that of the conventional image

compressing format.

•

Viewing high-deﬁnition content and up-

converting standard DVD content may

require a HDMI-capable input or HDCP-

capable DVI input on your display device.

•

Some AVCHD discs use the“x.v.Color”

format.

•

Some BD-ROM and DVD discs may restrict

the use of some operation commands or

features.

This player can playback AVCHD discs using

“x.v.Color”format.

Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-

HD are supported with maximum 7.1

channels if you use HDMI connection for

the audio output of the unit.

Some AVCHD format discs may not play

depending on the recording condition.

•

AVCHD format discs need to be ﬁnalized.

“x.v.Color”oﬀers a wider color range than

normal DVD camcorder discs.

•

You can use a USB device that is used

to store some disc related information,

including downloaded on-line content. The

disc you are using will control how long this

information is retained.

Certain System Requirements

For high deﬁnition video playback:

•

High deﬁnition display that has

COMPONENT or HDMI input jacks.

•

BD-ROM disc with high deﬁnition content.

HDMI or HDCP capable DVI input on your

and a cable modem is required to use cable

modem service. Depending on the access

method of and subscriber agreement with

your ISP, you may not be able to use the

internet connection feature contained in

this player or you may be limited to the

number of devices you can connect at the

same time. (If your ISP limits subscription

to one device, this player may not be

allowed to connect when a PC is already

connected.)

or its usage may be limited depending on

the policies and restrictions of your ISP. For

details, contact your ISP directly.

•

Some internet contents may require a

higher bandwidth connection.

frequency of DIGITAL AUDIO OUT is limited

to 96 kHz.

*5 If the [HDMI] or [Digital Output (SPDIF)]

option is set to [DTS re-encode], the audio

output is limited to 48 kHz and 5.1Ch. If the

[HDMI] or [Digital Output (SPDIF)] option is

set to [DTS re-encode], the DTS Re-encode

audio is outputted for BD-ROM discs, and

the original audio is outputted for the other

discs (like [Primary Pass-Thru]).

•

Multi-channel Digital Surround Sound via

digital connection can only be obtained

if your receiver is equipped with a Digital

Multi-channel decoder.

•

If [HDMI] option is set to [PCM Multi-CH]

and [Digital Output (SPDIF)] option is set to

[Primary Pass-Thru] while playback Dolby

Digital Plus or TrueHD audio, DIGITAL AUDIO

are connected simultaneously).

•

The audio is outputted as PCM 48 kHz/16

bit for MP3/WMA ﬁle and PCM 44.1kHz/16

bit for Audio CD while playback.

The Dolby TrueHD audio recorded on some

Blu-ray discs consists of Dolby Digital and

TrueHD audio. Dolby Digital audio is output

through DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks and“DD”

displays on the screen if TrueHD audio is

not output (for example, when [HDMI] is set

to [PCM Stereo] and [Digital Output (SPDIF)]

is set to [Primary Pass-Thru]).

•

You must select a digital audio output

and a maximum sampling frequency that

your Ampliﬁer (or AV receiver) accepts

using [Digital Output (SPDIF)], [HDMI] and

[Sampling Freq.] options on the [Setup]

menu (see page 27).

With digital audio connection (DIGITAL

AUDIO OUT or HDMI), Disc Menu button

sounds of BD-ROM may not be heard if the

[Digital Output (SPDIF)] or [HDMI] option is

set to [Primary Pass-Thru].
