Device Name

The Device Name function allows you to change the player's name by selecting from a device name list box.

BD-Live Internet Connection

Set to allow or prohibit an Internet connection when you use the BD-LIVE service.

●●Allow (All) : The Internet connection is allowed for all BD-LIVE contents.

●●Allow (Valid Only) : The Internet connection is allowed only for BD-LIVE contents containing a valid certificate.

●●Prohibit : No Internet connection is allowed for any BD-LIVE content.

✎✎ NOTES

■■What is a valid certificate? When the player uses BD-LIVE to send the disc data and a request to the server to certify the disc, the server uses the transmitted data to check if the disc is valid and sends the certificate back to the player.

■■The Internet connection may be restricted while you are using BD- LIVE contents.
