Connection Test

Selecting the Connection Test will cause the player to attempt to communicate with your home network, and if successful, with a known Internet address. If both attempts are successful, your network connection should be good. If the player can successfully connect to your home network, but not to the known Internet address, your Internet service may be “down”, or your security firewall may be blocking access of the player to the Internet.

BD-Live™ Connection

❖Permitted - Always allows BD-Live™ network access.

❖Partial Permitted - Allows Internet access with valid BD-Live™ network access approval.

❖Prohibited - Never allows BD-Live™ Internet access.

Some (but not all) Blu-ray™ Discs contain additional features that are made available to players that are connected to the Internet, and have additional memory added. These additional features may include things like:

❖the ability to download new movie trailers

❖additional ‘commentary’ by actors and directors

❖multi-person game play and chat

In order to access BD-Live™ functions, the player must be properly configured for BD-Live™ Internet access, and it must be equipped with additional memory.

BD-Live™ requires connection of a USB flash drive of at least 1 GB (sold separately) to USB port. For models without built-in Wi-Fi®, BD-Live™ is only supported via Ethernet so when using single USB port for Internet access, BD-Live™ will not be available. Performance of interactive features may vary due to disc design or content, and may also require an always- on broadband Internet connection. Firmware update may be required for some interactive features. Some features may require additional bandwidth. Some features may not be available in all geographic locations and are subject to third party compatibility.

Depending on your connection environment, it may take time to connect to the Internet or the Internet may not be connected.

When BD-Live™ functions are used and the unit is connected to the Internet, you may be charged for this communication.

Do not remove the USB flash drive when using the BD-Live™ function.
