[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 sta-
tus indicator shown above the menu. (The Network
status indicator changes according to Network con-
figuration.)
IP Setting
This option is available only if [IP Mode] option is set
to [Static IP].
Use the v / V / b / B buttons to select a field; use
the number buttons to enter a value. Press ENTER
when [OK] is highlighted to finish and exit the
screen.
