OPERATION
BD and DVD Menus
BD and DVD playback is simple. Load the disc, and it will begin playing automatically if the Auto Play setting is on, or select “Disc” from the Media Launcher menu. Allow at least one minute for the BDP 1 to identify the disc and load its contents into memory before playback begins. You may skip the introductory promotional materials by pressing the Disc Menu Button to skip to the disc’s main menu.
Use the Navigation Buttons to highlight one of the disc’s setup menus or its special features menu, or to start play of the main feature. If the menu items are numbered, use the Numeric Keys. Press the OK Button to make a selection.
Many BD discs include popup menus, for access to menu functions without stopping playback. Press the Popup/Title Menu Button while a disc is playing, and the menu will appear. You may access the main disc menu from the popup menu. Other selections may be made while the current title continues to play.
If you press the Popup/Title Menu Button while a DVD is playing, depending on the disc, the BDP 1 may display the disc’s main menu or an auxiliary scene selection menu. Playback will stop. Depending on the disc, you may be able to resume play from the point at which it paused, or the disc may play the program from the beginning.
Playback Resume
The BDP 1 offers a resume feature that allows playback to resume from the point at which it was paused by pressing the Stop Button once. To fully stop the disc, press the Stop Button twice. The resume feature is not available if the BDP 1 is powered down to Standby mode, except for a limited number of BD discs.
Status Display
The current title, chapter and elapsed time appear in the Message Display. Press the Status Button to view the current title and chapter on screen. Press it again to clear the on-screen message.
Audio Soundtracks
Many discs contain more than one audio soundtrack, for multiple languages and audio formats (e.g., Dolby Digital or DTS). The default audio language is set in the Language Setup menu.
To change the audio soundtrack, press the Audio Button while the disc is playing. The current audio soundtrack will appear at the top of the screen.
Each press of the Audio Button changes the current soundtrack. When the desired selection appears, wait 5 seconds for the display to clear on its own.
NOTES ON AUDIO TRACKS:
•Check the disc jacket for available languages and audio formats.
•Some discs do not allow direct selection of the audio track during playback. For these discs, press the Disc Menu Button to display the disc’s menu and use the Navigation Buttons to make your selection.
•The Audio Button only overrides the language setting for the current disc. The unit will revert to its default setting with the next disc.
BonusView™ (Picture-in-Picture) and BD-Live™Interactivity
Some BD discs contain director’s commentaries or other secondary-video content that may be played simultaneously with the main feature. The content will appear in a separate frame on screen, and is known as BonusView content, or “picture-in-picture” (PIP).
To view the BonusView content, press the PIP Button while the disc is playing. If available, the content will appear in a small frame on screen.
If more than one audio track is available for the secondary video, press the PIP Audio Button to switch tracks. To hear the BonusView audio, change the Digital Output setting in the Audio Setup menu to any option other than Bitstream Native.
NOTES:
•BonusView content is only available on BD discs, not DVDs.
•Not all BD discs have BonusView content, and those that do may not have it available during all titles or chapters.
BD-Live interactivity is available on select BD discs. When the BD-Live features are selected from the disc’s menu, additional content or other information may be downloaded from the Internet (when available through the Network Jack).
Due to the limited size of the internal memory of the BDP 1, BD-Live functionality requires a USB storage device (not included) with more than 1GB of available space to be connected to the USB port. The BDP 1 will detect the USB device, and the menu system will prompt you to select between the USB device and the disc drive as the current media source. Next, the system will ask you to decide whether to use the USB drive as a source for media playback or as virtual memory for BD-Live downloaded content. Only one of these uses is permitted at a time. To switch between media source and BD-Live memory, remove the device from the USB port and reinsert it. Then follow the on-screen instructions again as described above.
NOTE: BD-Live functionality is limited by the size of the internal memory. It is required that you purchase a USB storage device with at least 1GB of available memory if you wish to download additional content for BD-Live discs.
If you have difficulty accessing the Internet while using a BD-Live disc, first press the Setup Button and navigate to the Network Setup menu. Select “Test Connectivity”. If the BDP 1 is able to access the Internet, then the computer server the BD-Live disc is trying to access may be at fault. Check the disc jacket for more information or contact the content provider.
If the “Test Connectivity” function fails, contact your Internet service provider (ISP) to obtain the correct settings for the Network Setup menu. If the problem persists, contact your ISP for further assistance.
