BD-Live

Some Blu-ray Disc titles are released with the BD-Live feature. BD-Live offers extra

downloadable content and additional online interactive programs. BD-Live content varies by disc and studio, and may include additional subtitles, commentaries, preview trailers, games,

and online chat. A Broadband internet connection is required to enjoy BD-Live content (see page 19).

Depending on how the studios organize their BD-Live content, some Blu-ray Discs may start downloading BD- Live content when playback starts, have a BD-Live selection on the main menu, show a prompt asking whether you would like to start downloading, or 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 and the capacity of the BD-Live content servers can all affect how fast BD-Live content is 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 a particular IP address. If the BD-Live content provider requires you to log in using a membership or account, the content provider will have access to your membership or account information. Check with your Internet service provider and the BD-Live content providers for their privacy policy.

You can choose to restrict BD-Live Network Access in the Setup Menu (details on page 76).
