Notes on Copyrights
Because AACS (Advanced Access Content
System) is approved as content protection
system for BD format, similar to use of CSS
(Content Scramble System) for DVD format,
certain restrictions are imposed on playback,
analog signal output, etc., of AACS protected
contents. The operation of this product and
restrictions on this product may vary depending
on your time of purchase as those restrictions
may be adopted and/or changed by AACS after
the production of this product.
Furthermore, BD-ROM Mark and BD+ are
additionally used as content protection systems
for BD format, which imposes certain restrictions
including playback restrictions for BD-ROM Mark
and/or BD+ protected contents. To obtain
additional information on AACS, BD-ROM Mark,
BD+, or this product, please contact an
authorized Customer Service Center.
Many BD-ROM/DVD discs are encoded with
copy protection. Because of this, you should only
connect your player directly to your TV, not to a
VCR. Connecting to a VCR results in a distorted
picture from copy-protected discs.
This product incorporates copyright protection
technologies that are protected by certain U.S.
patents and other intellectual property rights
owned by Macrovision Corporation and other

BD-ROM Disc Features
BD-ROM Discs can store 25 GB (single layer) or 50 GB (dual layer) on a
single sided disc - about 5 to 10 times the capacity of a DVD.
BD-ROM Discs also support the highest quality HD video available in the
industry (up to 1920 x 1080) - Large capacity means no compromise on
video quality. Furthermore, a BD-ROM disc has the same familiar size and
look as DVD.
 The following BD-ROM disc features are disc dependent and will vary.
 Appearance and navigation of features will also vary from disc to disc.
 Not all discs will have the features described below.
 BD-ROM, Hybrid disc have both BD-ROM and DVD (or CD) layers on one
side. On such discs, BD-ROM layer will be only played back in this player.
Video highlights
The BD-ROM format for movie distribution supports three highly advanced
video codecs, including MPEG-2, MPEG4 AVC (H.264), and SMPTE VC1.
HD video resolutions are also available:
 1920 x 1080 HD
 1280 x 720 HD
Graphic planes
Two individual, full HD resolution (1920x1080) graphic planes (layers) are
available, on top of the HD video layer. One plane is assigned to videorelated, frame accurate graphics (like subtitles), and the other plane is
assigned to interactive graphic elements, such as buttons or menus.
For both planes, various wipes, fades and scroll effects may be available.
For High-Definition Playback
To view high-definition contents from BD-ROM discs, an HDTV is required.
Some discs may require HDMI OUT for viewing of high-definition contents.

depending on the resolution of your TV.
Menu sounds
When you highlight or select a menu option, sounds can be heard such as
button clicks or a voice-over explaining the highlighted menu choice.
Multi-page/PopUp Menus
With DVD-Video, playback is interrupted each time a new menu screen is
accessed. Due to BD-ROM disc’s ability to preload data from the disc without interrupting playback, a menu can consist of several pages.

the six speakers to the player.
Attach the speaker to the desktop stand.
Secure the speaker with the screws.
Connect the wires to the player.
Match each wire’s colored band to the same colored connection terminal
on the rear of the player. To connect the cable to the player, press each
plastic finger pad to open the connection terminal. Insert the wire and
release the finger pad.
Thread the speaker cable through the hole in the bottom of the
desktop stand.
Connect the black end of each wire to
the terminals marked -(minus) and the
other end to the terminals marked +
(plus).

Positioning the System
The following illustration shows an example of positioning the system.
Note that the illustrations in these instructions differ from the actual unit for
explanation purposes.
For the best possible surround sound, all the speakers other than the
subwoofer should be placed at the same distance from the listening
position (A).
To connect the cable to the speakers, press each plastic finger pad to open the
connection terminals on the base of each speaker. Insert the wire and release
the finger pad.
Be careful of the following
Be careful to make sure children not to put their hands or any objects into the
*speaker duct.
*Speaker duct: A hall for plentiful bass sound on speaker cabinet(enclosure).
FM/AM Antenna connection
AM - Connect the AM loop antenna to the player.
FM - Connect the FM antenna.
The reception will be its best when the two loose ends of the antenna are in a
straight and horizontal line.
A Front left speaker (L)/ B Front right speaker (R):
Place the front speakers to the sides of the monitor or screen and as
flush with the screen surface as possible.
C Center speaker: Place the center speaker above or below the monitor
or screen.
D Surround left speaker (L)/ E Surround right speaker (R):
Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly
inwards.
F Subwoofer: The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because
low base sounds are not highly directional. But it is better to place the
subwoofer near the front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of
the room to reduce the wall reflections.
