Safety Information
Important Notice for TV colour system
• 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.
The colour system of this player differs according to
currently playing discs.
• 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 Centre.
• 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
technology that is protected by U.S. patents
and other intellectual property rights. Use of
this copyright protection technology must be
authorized by Rovi Corporation, and is intended
for home and other limited viewing uses only
unless otherwise authorized by Rovi Corporation.
Reverse engineering or disassembly is prohibited.
• Under the U.S. Copyright laws and Copyright
laws of other countries, unauthorized recording,
use, display, distribution, or revision of television
programs, videotapes, BD-ROM discs, DVDs, CDs
and other materials may subject you to civil and/
or criminal liability.
For example, when the player plays the disc recorded
in the NTSC colour system, the image is output as an
NTSC signal.
Only the multi system colour TV can receive all
signals output from the player.
• If you have a PAL colour system TV, you will see
just distorted images when using discs or video
contents recorded in NTSC.
• The multi system colour TV changes the colour
system automatically according to input signals.
In case that the colour system is not changed
automatically, turn it off and then on to see
normal images on screen.
Even if the disc recorded in NTSC colour system
are well displayed on your TV, these may not be
recorded correctly on your recorder.

*5 If the [HDMI] or [Digital Output (SPDIF)]
option is set to [DTS re-encode], the audio
output is limited to 48 kHz and 5.1Ch. If the
[HDMI] or [Digital Output (SPDIF)] option is
set to [DTS re-encode], the DTS Re-encode
audio is outputted for BD-ROM discs, and
the original audio is outputted for the other
discs (like [Primary Pass-Thru]).
• If [HDMI] option is set to [PCM Multi-CH]
and [Digital Output (SPDIF)] option is set to
[Primary Pass-Thru] while playback Dolby
Digital Plus or TrueHD audio, DIGITAL AUDIO
OUT is limited to “PCM 2ch”.
• If the HDMI connection is version 1.3
and Dolby Digital Plus/Dolby TrueHD is
outputted from HDMI OUT jack, DIGITAL
AUDIO OUT jack is limited to “PCM 2ch”
(When the HDMI and DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
are connected simultaneously).
• The audio is outputted as PCM 48 kHz/16
bit for MP3/WMA file and PCM 44.1kHz/16
bit for Audio CD while playback.
• The Dolby TrueHD audio recorded on some
Blu-ray discs consists of Dolby Digital and
TrueHD audio. Dolby Digital audio is output
through DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks and “DD”
displays on the screen if TrueHD audio is
not output (for example, when [HDMI] is set
to [PCM Stereo] and [Digital Output (SPDIF)]
is set to [Primary Pass-Thru]).

Appendix
• You must select a digital audio output
and a maximum sampling frequency that
your Amplifier (or AV receiver) accepts
using [Digital Output (SPDIF)], [HDMI] and
[Sampling Freq.] options on the [Setup]
menu (see page 27).
• With digital audio connection (DIGITAL
AUDIO OUT or HDMI), Disc Menu button
sounds of BD-ROM may not be heard if the
[Digital Output (SPDIF)] or [HDMI] option is
set to [Primary Pass-Thru].
• If the audio format of the digital output
does not match the capabilities of your
receiver, the receiver will produce a strong,
distorted sound or no sound at all.
• Multi-channel Digital Surround Sound via
digital connection can only be obtained
if your receiver is equipped with a Digital
Multi-channel decoder.

• If you select a resolution manually and then
connect the HDMI jack to TV and your TV
does not accept it, the resolution setting is
set to [Auto].
576i
• The 1080p video output frame rate may
be automatically set to either 24 Hz or
50 Hz depending both on the capability
and preference of the connected TV and
based on the native video frame rate of the
content on the BD-ROM disc.
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT
Connection
BD and DVD video could prevent up-scaling
on analog output.
VIDEO OUT connection
The resolution of the VIDEO OUT jack is always
outputted at 576i resolution.
When you set the HDMI Resolution, over 720p
is not outputted to Composit Video.

• If you select a resolution that your TV
does not accept, the warning message
