[NETWORK] Menu

The [NETWORK] settings are needed to use the BD-Live features.

Some BD-ROM discs may enable you to access special BD-ROM sites, if you connect the player to the Internet. For example, if an BD-ROM site includes content such as links to future movie trail- ers, you can watch the downloaded on-line content on the player.

You do not need to connect to a PC to use this func- tion.

Preparations:

•This feature requires an always-on broadband internet connection. (see page 16.)

•An BD-ROM disc compatible with this feature is required. Not all BD-ROM discs are compatible.

IP Mode

If there is a DHCP server on the local area network (LAN), this player will automatically be allocated an IP address. If you’re using a broadband router or broadband modem that has a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server function, select [Dynamic IP]. The IP address will automatically be determined.

If there is no DHCP server on the network and you want to set the IP address manually, select [Static IP] then set the [IP Address], [Subnet Mask], [Gateway] and [DNS Server] using [IP Setting] option.

How to check the network configuration

Select [IP Mode] option and check the Network status indicator shown above the menu. (The Network status indicator changes according to Network con- figuration.)
