CONNECTING THE PLAYER
CONNECTING BY ETHERNET
Requires an Ethernet cable (not included)
The BLU-BD1080 Blu-Ray Disc Player supports the BD-Live™ feature offered on some Blu-ray
Disc titles. BD-Live™ offers extra downloadable content and additional online interactive
programs. The available BD-Live™ contents vary by discs and studios, and may include
additional subtitles, commentaries, movie trailers, games, and/or online chat.
Connecting the player to the Internet will also allow the player to obtain firmware updates
via the Internet.
In order to utilize the BD-Live™ feature or update firmware via the Internet, the player
needs to be connected to a broadband Internet connection. You must have access to a
working broadband Internet service connection. It is not necessary to connect to the
Internet if you do not intend to use BD-Live™.

Plug an Ethernet cable
(Category 5/5E straight
