recommended) supporting FAT 32 and USB 2.0 High
Speed (480 Mbit/s) to the USB connector. (For details,

contents (previously recorded) is used, the video
and audio may not play back properly.
< If the USB memory device is disconnected from
this unit during playback of Virtual Package/
BD-LIVE contents, playback of the disc will stop.
< Some time may be required for the contents to
load (read/write).
NOTE
< It may not be possible to use the BD-LIVE
functions if there is insucient space on
the USB memory device. In this case, refer
to ‘Erase Blu-ray Storage?’ on page E-21 for
erasing the Virtual Package contents and the
