Configuring Network Settings
Select the Network tab to configure the settings as described below. This is only required if the player is connected to your network.
Note: It may take a few minutes for an internet connection to establish once the player indicates it has received proper IP
addresses.
LAN
If you connected the player using an Ethernet cable, configure the network settings using the LAN Settings sub-menu.
Address Type: Choices are Dynamic (default) or Static. If Dynamic is selected, player obtains IP automatically if the network router
is DHCP enabled. If Static is selected, you must set the following IP parameters manually using addresses provided by your IT
administrator. The player must be rebooted after the static addresses are entered.
IP Address:
(e.g., 192.168.000.002)
Net Mask:
(e.g., 255.255.255.0)
DNS:
Enter network DNS IP address.
Gateway:
Enter IP of router or other directly connected device (e.g., 192.168.000.001).
Configuring Audio & Video Settings
Select the AV tab on the Setup Menu to change the video and audio settings as described below:
Video
Output: Choices are Auto, 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p, or 480i. These output choices are based on common TV resolutions,
not typical PC resolutions. If you are using a PC monitor, or a TV with an HDMI or DVI cable connection, select Auto as your
desired output. The player will automatically detect and display the correct resolution for your monitor.
Format: Choices are NTSC, PAL or 24p. NTSC selects the US composite video standard, and 60Hz frame rate for YPbPr
and HDMI outputs. PAL selects the European composite video standard, and 50Hz frame rate for YPbPr and HDMI outputs.
The 24p setting may be selected when playing 24Hz video content to avoid 3:2 pull-down artifacts. Note that not all TVs or
monitors support 24Hz.
Aspect Ratio: Choices are 16:9 or 4:3.
Audio
Output:
Choices are PCM 2.0 (for stereo-decoded output), PCM 5.1 (for 5.1 surround sound decoded output), or Pass-through
(for non-decoded digital output). Only applies to output through HDMI and SPDIF connections. Select based on the type of
speaker system that you are using (e.g., select 5.1 only if connected to home theater system via HDMI).
If the content file has a multi-channel (5.1) audio track:
• 2.0 decodes and down-mixes the audio to stereo L&R.
• 5.1 decodes the multi-channel audio. The full bandwidth 5.1 channels of audio is carried on the HDMI output. Only the
front left and right audio channels are passed to the analog L&R outputs (no down-mixing).
• Pass-through does not decode the audio. The encoded audio is carried on the SPDIF and HDMI outputs for the connected
audio device to decode.

Pass-through Pass-through Pass-through N/A
Note: When connecting the player to a non-5.1 channel device, such as a TV, select PCM 2.0 in order to hear audio on the
device. The player will downmix 5.1 content to 2.0 (stereo L&R). Only use Pass-through mode when the connected audio
device, such as a Home Theater receiver, can properly decode the audio format of the content files.
* If the video file has AAC encoded audio, the audio is decoded and downmixed to 2.0 (stereo L&R). Other audio encodings
such as AC-3, DTS, or WMA are not decoded and no audio appears on this port.
