GETTING STARTED
UNPACKING AND SETUP
WHAT’S IN THE BOX
Packed with your T 557 you will nd:
• An audio/video cable connector
• The BR 2 remote control with 2 (two) AA batteries
• A detachable AC power cord
• HDMI cable (European version model only)
• Set of rubber feet
• This owner’s manual
SAVE THE PACKAGING
Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your T 557 arrived.
Should you move or otherwise need to transport your T 557, this is by far
the safest container in which to do so. We’ve seen too many otherwise
perfect components damaged in transit for lack of a proper shipping
carton, so please: Save that box!
CHOOSING A LOCATION
Choose a location that is well ventilated (with at least several inches to both
sides and behind), and that will provide a clear line of sight, within 23 feet/7
meters, between the T 557’s front panel and your primary listening/viewing
position. This will ensure reliable infrared remote control communications.
The T 557 generates a modest amount of heat, but nothing that should
trouble adjacent components. It is perfectly possible to stack the T 557 on
top of other components.
DISC LOADING AND PLAYBACK
There are two dierent disc sizes. Place the disc in the correct guide on the
disc tray. If the disc is out of the guide, it may damage the disc and cause
the T 557 to malfunction. “Check Disc”appears at the On-Screen Display
(OSD) (“ERROR”at the VFD), if the disc is placed upside down (and it is a
single sided disc).
The following are important tips when loading a disc
• Do not push the disc tray while it is moving. Doing so may cause the
T 557 to malfunction.
• Do not push up the disc tray or put any objects other than discs on the
disc tray. Doing so may cause the T 557 to malfunction.
• Keep your ngers well clear of the disc tray as it is closing. Be especially
careful with children’s ngers around the closing disc tray, as there is a
risk of personal injury.
Press [ ], the disc tray is automatically closed. Playback of the rst track
starts if a CD is loaded. For BD, DVD, USB or other disc media, playback
operation is accessible through their menu screen.
NOTE
Do not move the T 557 during playback. Doing so may damage the disc
and the T 557.
ASSEMBLY OF RUBBER FOOT wITH PLASTIC FOOT
QUICK START
In case you simply cannot wait to experience the performance of your new

time open the disc tray.
4 Load the Blu-ray disc in the disc tray.
5 Press the front panel [PLAY/PAUSE] button or [ ] button of BR 2
remote control to close the disc tray and start playback. You should hear
audio and see an image on the TV/monitor. If one or the other fails to
appear, check your TV/monitor’s input settings or the T 557 audio/video
connections.
Enjoy the movie but be sure to set aside time to read this manual
thoroughly to set up and congure your T 557 according to your

ABOUT THE SYMBOL DISPLAY
“ ”may appear on your TV display during operation. This indicates that the
function you entered or try to execute is not available on that specic disc or le.
BD-ROM DISC FEATURES
BD-ROM (Blu-ray Disc Read-Only Memory) is a commercially produced disc
and available in the same capacities as that of regular Blu-ray discs. Other
than conventional movie and video contents, BD-ROM has enhanced
features such as interactive content, menu operations, pop-up menus,
subtitle selection, slideshow and other 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. 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.
The following BD-ROM disc features are disc dependent and will vary.
Appearance and navigation of features will also vary from disc to disc.
Some features may not be available on some discs.
VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS
The BD-ROM format for movie distribution supports three highly advanced
video codecs, includingMPEG-2, MPEG4 AVC (H.264), and SMPTE VC1. The
1920 x 1080 HD and 1280 x 720 HD video resolutions are also available.
HIGHDEFINITION PLAYBACK
To view high-denition contents from BD-ROM discs, an HDTV is required.
Some discs may require HDMI OUT for viewing of high-denition contents.
Ability to view high-denition contents in BD-ROM discs maybe limited
depending on the resolution of your TV.
GRAPHIC PLANES
Two individual full HD resolution (1920x1080) graphic planes (layers) are
available on top of the HD video layer. One plane is assigned to video-
related, frame accurate graphics (like subtitles), and the other plane is
assigned to interactive graphic elements, such as buttons or menus. For
both planes, various wipes, fades and scroll eects may be available.
MENU SOUND
When you highlight or select a menu option, sound can be heard such as
button clicks or a voice-over explaining the highlighted menu choice.
MULTIPAGE/POPUP MENUS
With DVD-Video, playback is interrupted each time a 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 dierent menu paths, while the
audio and video remain playing in the background.
INTERACTIVITY
