BD-Live | |
Some Blu-ray Disc titles are released with the | |
BD-Live feature. BD-Live offers extra downloadable | |
contents and additional online interactive | |
programs. The available BD-Live contents 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 contents | |
(see page 20). | |
Depending on how the studios organize their BD-Live contents, some Blu-ray Discs may start downloading BD-Live contents 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 contents.
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 contents 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 71).
