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 20).
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 71).
