BD-Live
Some Blu-ray Disc titles are released with the BD-Live feature. BD-Live offers extra downloadable
contents and additional online interactive programs. The available BD-Live contents vary by discs and
studios, and may include additional subtitles, commentaries, preview trailers, games, and online chat. The
player needs to be connected to the Internet in order to play BD-Live contents (see page 4).
Depending on how the studios organize their BD-Live contents, some Blu-ray Discs may start downloading
BD-Live contents when playback starts; some have a BD-Live selection on its main menu; some may
show a prompt to ask whether you would like to start downloading; and some may 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, the overall Internet traffic situation and the capacity of the BD-Live content
servers can all affect how fast BD-Live contents can be 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 which IP address. If the BD-Live
content provider requires you to login using a membership or account, the content provider will have
access to your membership or account information. Please check with your Internet service provider and
the BD-Live content providers for their privacy policy.
You can choose to restrict BD-Live Access using the player’s Setup Menu (see page 33).
