SupporTed MediA codecS
The BD receiver can play media recorded in the following audio/video
codecs:
• MPEG 2
• H.264
• VC-1
• MP3 (from CD-R/RW, DVD+R/+RW, BD-R/RE and USB)
• JPEG (from CD-R/RW, DVD+R/+RW, BD-R/RE and USB)
• DivX 3.x/4.x/5.x (from CD-R/RW, DVD+R/+RW and USB)
NOTE: Due to differences in the formats of certain discs, some discs may
include a mix of features, some of which are not compatible with the disc
player. Similarly, although Blu-ray Disc recordings and DVDs are capable of a
wide range of features, not every disc includes every capability of its system.
For example, although the BD receiver is compatible with multi-angle discs,
the multi-angle feature is possible only when the disc is specially encoded
for multiple-angle play. To make certain that a specific feature or soundtrack
option is available, please check the options noted on the disc jacket.
The playback capability of recordable discs may vary due to variations in the
quality of the disc and the recorder used to create the disc.

Bd-liVe inTerAcTiViTy
BD-Live interactivity is available on select Blu-ray Disc recordings. When
you select the BD-Live features from a disc’s menu, you may be able to
download additional content or other information via the Internet (through
the Network connection).
If you have difficulty accessing the Internet while using a BD-Live disc,
press the Settings button and navigate to the Network Setup menu. Select
“Test Connection.” If the BD receiver is able to access the Internet, then the
computer server the BD-Live disc is trying to access may be at fault. Check
the disc jacket for more information or contact the content provider. If the
“Test Connection” function fails, contact your Internet service provider (ISP)
to obtain the correct settings for the BD receiver’s IP Configuration menu. If
the problem persists, contact your ISP for further assistance.
