Internet connection
This player can be connected to a local area network (LAN) via the LAN
port on the rear panel.
After making the physical connection the player needs to be set up for
network communication. This is done from the [Setup] menu — see
“[NETWORK] Menu” on page 28 for detailed instructions.
Connect the player’s LAN port to the corresponding port on your Modem or
Router using a LAN cable.
Use a commercially available straight LAN cable (Category 5/CAT5 or
better with RJ45 connector).
By connecting the unit to broadband Internet, you can use a disc that
offers BD-Live function (see page 34-35).
Cautions:
• When plugging or unplugging the LAN cable, hold the plug portion of the
cable. When unplugging, do not pull on the LAN cable but unplug while
pressing down on the lock.
• Do not connect a modular phone cable to the LAN port.
• Since there are various connection configurations, please follow the
specifications of your telecommunication carrier or internet service
provider.
Notes:
• Depending on the internet service provider (ISP), the number of devices
that can receive internet service may be limited by the applicable terms
of service. For details, contact your ISP.
• Our company is not responsible for any malfunction of the player and/or
the internet connection feature due to communication errors/malfunc-
tions associated with your broadband internet connection, or other con-
nected equipment.
• Our company is not responsible for any trouble in your internet connec-
tion.
• The features of BD-ROM discs made available through the Internet
Connection feature are not created or provided by our company, and our
company is not responsible for their functionality or continued availabili-
ty. Some disc related material available by the Internet Connection may
not be compatible with this player. If you have questions about such
content, please contact the producer of the disc.
• Some internet contents may require a higher bandwidth connection.
• Even if the player is properly connected and configured, some internet
contents may not operate properly because of internet congestion, the
quality or bandwidth of your internet service, or problems at the provider
of the content.
• Some internet connection operations may not be possible due to certain
restrictions set by the Internet service provider (ISP) supplying your
broadband Internet connection.
• Any fees charged by an ISP including, without limitation, connection
charges are your responsibility.
• A 10 Base-T or 100 Base-TX LAN port is required for connection to this
player. If your internet service does not allow for such a connection, you
will not be able to connect the player.
• You must use a Router to use xDSL service.
