Disc Features control the remote Blu-ray Disc
player’s settings of DVD being watched in the
remote player.
Listening To Audio With The Screen Closed
To listen to only audio portion of the channel with
the screen closed:
• Set the audio to the desired source and
channel.
• Close the video screen.
• To change the current audio mode, push the
remote control’s SOURCE button. This will
automatically select the next available audio
mode without using the Mode/Source Select
menu.
• When the screen is reopened, the video
screen will automatically turn back on and
show the appropriate display menu or media.
If the screen is closed and there is no audio
heard, verify that the headphones are turned on
(the ON indicator is illuminated) and the head-
phone selector switch is on the desired channel.
If the headphones are turned on, push the
remote control’s power button to turn audio on. If
audio is still not heard, check that fully charged
batteries are installed in the headphones.
Disc Formats
The Blu-ray Disc player is capable of playing the
following types of 4.7 in (12 cm) diameter discs:
• BD: BDMV (Profile 1.1), BDAV (Profile 1.1)

DVD Region Codes
The Blu-ray Disc player and many DVD discs
are coded by geographic region. These region
codes must match in order for the disc to play. If
the region code for the DVD disc does not match
the region code for the player, the disc will not
play.
DVD Audio Support
When a DVD-Audio disc is inserted in the Blu-
ray Disc player, the DVD-Audio title on the disc
is played by default (most DVD-Audio discs also
have a Video title, but the Video title is ignored).
All multi-channel program material is automati-
cally mixed down to two channels, which may
result in a lowered apparent volume level. If you
increase the volume level to account for this
change in level, remember to lower the volume
before changing the disc or to another mode.
Recorded Discs
The Blu-ray Disc player will play CD-R and
CD-RW discs recorded in CD-Audio or
Video-CD format, or as a CD-ROM containing
MP3 or WMA files. The player will also play
DVD-Video content recorded to a DVD-R or
DVD-RW disc. DVD-ROM discs (either pressed
or recorded) are not supported.
If you record a disc using a personal computer,
there may be cases where the Blu-ray Disc
player may not be able to play some or the
entire disc, even if it is recorded in a compatible
format and is playable on other players. To help
avoid playback problems, use the following
guidelines when recording discs.
• Open sessions are ignored. Only sessions
that are closed are playable.
• For multi-session CDs that contain only mul-
tiple CD-Audio sessions, the player will re-
number the tracks so each track number is
unique.
• For CD Data (or CD-ROM) discs, always use
the ISO-9660 (Level 1 or Level 2), Joliet, or
Romeo format. Other formats (such as UDF,
HFS, or others) are not supported.
• The player recognizes a maximum of
512 files and 99 folders per CD-R and
CD-RW disc.
• Mixed media recordable DVD formats will
only play the Video_TS portion of the disc.
