GETTING THE BEST FROM THE PLAYER
BD-LIVE
Some Blu-ray Disc titles are released with the BD-Live feature. BD-Live
offer extra downloadable content and additional online interactive
programs. The available BD-Live content vary by discs and studios,
and may include additional subtitles, commentaries, preview trailers,
games, and online chat. The player needs to be connected to the
Internet in order to play BD-Live content.
Depending on how the studios organize their BD-Live content, some Blu-ray Discs may start
downloading BD-Live content when playback starts; some have a BD-Live selection on its
main menu; some may show a prompt to ask whether you would like to start downloading;
and some may ask you to sign up for a membership or account. Please follow the
instructions that come with the disc to enjoy BD-Live content.
Your Internet connection speed, the overall Internet traffic situation and the capacity of the
BD-Live content servers can all affect how fast BD-Live content can be downloaded. If you
encounter slow downloading or intermittent playback, please play the disc without
accessing the BD-Live features, or try again at a different time.
When you use the BD-Live feature, the player or disc ID and your IP (Internet Protocol)
address may be sent to the content provider via the Internet. Generally, no personally
identifiable information is sent. However technologies exist to match your IP address to a
certain geographical area or service provider. Your Internet service provider also has the
knowledge of who is using which IP address. If the BD-Live content provider requires you to
login using a membership or account, the content provider will have access to your
membership or account information. Please check with your Internet service provider and
the BD-Live content providers for their privacy policy.
You can choose to restrict BD-Live access using the player’s Setup Menu (See page 25).
BD-Live requires a USB flash drive of at least 2GB in size to be connected to save
downloaded content.
BD Discs that have the BD-Live features will display a warning message when loaded if BD-
Live content cannot be saved to the player or USB device. A USB device with enough free
space must be connected before accessing the BD-Live content on that disc.
It may be necessary to unload and reload the disc before accessing the BL-Live content if no
USB device was detected when the disc was loaded.
