key features of your blu-ray
disc player
Player Features
Supports a Variety of Disc Types
Blu-ray (BD-ROM, BD-RE, BD-R), DVD Video, DVD-RW/-R (V mode and finalized only) discs and Audio CD.
CD-RW/CD-R, DVD-RW/-R and USB memory flash stick content such as MP3, JPEG and DivX files.
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)

DivX
DivX®is a digital video format created by DivX, Inc. This player is an official DivX certified device that plays DivX
video.
Blu-ray Disc Features
Blu-ray Discs support the highest quality HD video available in the industry - Large capacity means no compromise
on video quality. Furthermore, a Blu-ray Disc has the same familiar size and look as a DVD.
* The following Blu-ray Disc features are disc dependant and will vary.
Appearance and navigation of features will also vary from disc to disc.
Not all discs will have the features described below.
Video highlights
The BD-ROM format supports three highly advanced video codecs, including AVC, VC-1 and MPEG-2.
HD video resolutions are also available:
1920 x 1080 High Definition
1280 x 720 High Definition
For High-Definition Playback
To view high-definition contents on a Blu-ray Disc, an HDTV (High Definition Television) is required.
Some Blu-ray Discs may require using the player's HDMI OUT to view high-definition content. The ability to view
high-definition content on Blu-ray Discs may be limited depending on the resolution of your TV.
Graphic planes
Two individual, full HD resolution (1920x1080)
video layers are available on top of the HD
video layer.
One layer is assigned to video-related
graphics (like subtitles), and the other layer is
assigned to interactive elements, such as
buttons or menus. Various wipes, fades and
scroll effects may be available on both layers.

Menu graphics
Support full colour resolution graphics and animation, thereby greatly surpassing the capabilities of DVD-Video.
Unlike DVD, Menus can be accessed during video playback.
Menu sounds
When you highlight or select a menu option on a disc, sounds can be heard such as button clicks or a voice-over
explaining the highlighted menu choice.
Multi-page/PopUp Menus
Unlike DVD-Video, playback is not interrupted each time a new menu
screen is accessed. Due to Blu-ray Disc's ability to preload data from
the disc without interrupting playback, a menu may consist of several
pages.
You can browse through the menu pages or select different menu
paths, while the audio and video continues playing in the background.
Interactivity
Certain Blu-ray Discs may contain Animated menus and Trivia games.
User Browsable Slideshows
With Blu-ray Discs, you can browse through various still pictures while the audio remains playing.
Subtitles
Depending on what is contained on the Blu-ray Disc, you may be able to select different font styles, sizes and
colours for the subtitles. Subtitles may also be animated, scrolled or faded in and out.
BD-LIVE
You can use a Blu-ray Disc supporting BD-LIVE through network connection to enjoy various contents provided
by the disc manufacturer.

IMPORTANT NOTE
The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a molded plug incorporating a fuse. The value of the fuse is
indicated on the pin face of the plug.
If it requires replacing, a fuse approved to BS1362 of the same rating must be used.
Never use the plug with the fuse cover omitted if the cover is detachable. If a replacement fuse cover is required, it

If the fitted plug is not suitable for the power points in your house or the cable is not long enough to reach a power
point, you should obtain a suitable safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance.
However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the plug. Do
not connect the plug to a mains jack, as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord.
To disconnect the apparatus from the mains, the plug must be pulled out from the mains socket, therefore the

●GETTING STARTED
Blu-ray Discs
If the player is not used for a long period of time, remove the Blu-ray Disc from the player and
store it in its case.
Be careful not to leave fingerprints or scratches on the surface of the Blu-ray Disc.
DVD-RW and DVD-R
Clean with an optional PD disc cleaner (LF-K200DCA1 where available).
Do not use cleaners or cloths for CDs to clean DVD-RW/-R discs.
DVD-Video, Audio-CD
Wipe off dirt or contamination on the disc with a soft cloth.
Cautions on handling discs

USB HOST
A USB memory flash stick can be connected here and used as storage when connected
to BD-LIVE. It can also be used for firmware upgrades and MP3/JPEG/DivX playback.
Software upgrades using the USB Host jack must be performed with a USB memory flash stick only.
A USB device consuming more than 500mA requires a separate power supply device for normal operation.
