Precautions
On safety
Should any solid object or liquid fall into
the cabinet, unplug the player and
have it checked by qualified personnel
before operating it any further.
On power sources
yThe player is not disconnected from
the AC power source (mains) as
long as it is connected to the wall
outlet, even if the player itself has
been turned off.
yIf you are not going to use the player
for a long time, be sure to disconnect
the player from the wall outlet. To
disconnect the AC power cord
(mains lead), grasp the plug itself;
never pull the cord.
On placement
yPlace the player in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent heat
build-up in the player.
yDo not place the player on a soft
surface such as a rug that might
block the ventilation holes.
yDo not place the player in a location
near heat sources, or in a place
subject to direct sunlight, excessive
dust, or mechanical shock.
On operation
yIf the player is brought directly from a
cold to a warm location, or is placed
in a very damp room, moisture may
condense on the lenses inside the
player. Should this occur, the player
may not operate properly. In this
case, remove the disc and leave the
player turned on for about half an
hour until the moisture evaporates.
yWhen you move the player, take out

a mild detergent solution. Do not use
any type of abrasive pad, scouring
powder or solvent such as alcohol or
benzine.

About playback of discs recorded in
AVCHD format
This player can play AVCHD format discs.
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*1or the 720p
specification*2on 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 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.

BD/DVD region code
Your player has a region code printed on the back of the unit
and only will play BD-ROM/DVD VIDEOs (playback only)
labeled with identical region codes. This system is used to
protect copyrights.
DVD VIDEOs labeled will also play on this player.
Depending on the BD-ROM/DVD VIDEO, there may be no
region code indication, even though playing the
BD-ROM/DVD VIDEO is prohibited by area restrictions.
Note on playback operations of BDs/
DVDs
Some playback operations of BDs/DVDs may be intentionally
set by software producers. Since this player plays BDs/DVDs
according to the disc contents the software producers
designed, some playback features may not be available. Also,
refer to the instructions supplied with the BDs/DVDs.
Copyrights
This item incorporates copyright protection technology that is
protected by U.S. patents and other intellectual property rights. Use
of this copyright protection technology must be authorized by Rovi
Corporation, and is intended for home and other limited viewing uses
only unless otherwise authorized by Rovi Corporation. Reverse
engineering or disassembly is prohibited.
Main Features
Experience the high definition (HD) quality audio/video output
and the library function of this Blu-ray Disc Player.
BD-ROM playback
BD-ROM is a next generation optical disc format in the HD
era. Featuring massive storage capacity of 25 to 50 GB (five
times larger than a DVD) and a high-speed transfer rate of up
to 54 Mbps, the format offers not only uncompromised HD
quality video*1*2, but also enables rich bonus content on a
single disc and HD quality audio up to 8ch, and interactive
operability.
*1 A compatible HD display device is necessary to enjoy the same
quality.
*2 Some discs allow viewing only with an HDMI connection.
24p True Cinema
Movies shot with a film camera consist of 24 frames per
second. Since conventional televisions (both CRT and flat

7
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.
BD-J application
The BD-ROM format supports Java for interactive functions.

The player supports the bitstream output functionality of Dolby
TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio
bitstream via HDMI. It also supports the decoding functionality of
Dolby TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus to Linear PCM via HDMI.
AVCHD format disc playback
The player supports AVCHD format files±high definition
recordings made on AVCHD-compatible camcorders. Your high
definition personal archive is readily playable in HD quality.
Support of uncompressed multi-channel
Linear PCM
In combination with a compatible AV amplifier, the player can
output up to 5.1ch Linear PCM surround sound*. With a non-
compatible amplifier, the player can output 5.1ch analog
signals from its 5.1CH OUTPUT jack for high quality audio
enjoyment.
* Note that the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL) jack does not output 8ch
signals.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
digital interface
When connected to an HDMI-equipped display device using a
single HDMI cord, the player can output both SD to HD video
and multi-channel audio signals, in digital form without
degradation.
The HDMI specification supports HDCP (High-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection), a copy protection technology that
incorporates coding technology for digital video signals.
