OPERATION
Turning On the BDP 10
Press the front-panel Power Button or remote Power On Button to
turn on the BDP 10 when the Power Indicator is amber. The Power
Indicator will turn white. As explained in the note at the beginning of
the Initial Setup section, the BDP 10 may take up to a minute before it
is ready for playback.
If the unit is left turned on but with no activity, the BDP 10 will
automatically power off after 25 minutes. To disable auto turn-off,
change the Auto Standby setting in the System Setup menu to “Off”.
Playback Basics
Disc playback is similar for all types of discs. Read through the basic
instructions, and then read the sections for each disc type.
Disc Handling Precautions
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch
the surface. See Figure 13.
Figure 13 – How to Handle a Disc
• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc. Remove any glue completely
before using the disc.
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources, such as
hot air ducts, or leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight, as there
can be a considerable rise in temperature inside the car.
• After playing, store the disc in its case.
• Do not write on the label side with a ballpoint pen or other sharp
writing utensil.
• Do not drop or bend the disc.
Disc Cleaning Precautions
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc
from the center out.
• Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially
available cleaners or antistatic spray.
Disc Loading Precautions
• Do not load more than one disc on the disc tray.
• Do not place a disc on the tray upside down.
• Do not try to close the disc tray when the disc is not positioned or
centered properly.
Loading Discs
Press the Open/Close Button so that the disc tray opens.
Hold the disc by the edge, and gently place it into the disc drawer,
label side up, properly seating it in the tray’s insert. Refer to page 7 for
a list of the disc formats supported by the BDP 10.
• The BDP 10 will only play BD discs that are coded for Region B,
DVD discs that are coded for Region 2 or discs that are open to
being played in all regions.
• The BDP 10 will display video recorded in the PAL or NTSC formats
on a PAL television. The NTSC format is used in North America,
and some music or other DVDs are available in NTSC with a Region
Code of “0”.
• Playback capability for recordable discs may vary, depending on how
the disc was recorded, and some discs may not play at all. Always
install the latest PC software before recording homemade discs.
• Both 5-inch (12cm) and 3-inch (8cm) discs may be used.
• Some DVD-Video discs are double-sided. The title information for
these will be printed on the inner ring of the disc, very close to the
center hole. The title for the side you wish to play should face up.
After a disc is properly loaded, press the Open/Close or Play Button
to close the disc drawer. After the drawer closes, up to a minute may
pass while the BDP 10 identifies the disc type and loads the content
into its main memory. BD discs, DVDs and audio CDs will begin
playing automatically, unless the Auto Play setting in the System Setup
menu is off.
Media Launcher
The Media Launcher will appear on screen when the unit is turned on
or a disc is loaded. It will remain visible when the Auto Play setting is
off, but will disappear as playback begins when the Auto Play setting
is on. Select “Disc,” “USB” or “Setup.” The BDP 10 will skip an
option if no disc is loaded or no USB device is present. If the disc is a
BD-Video disc, DVD or audio CD, selecting “Disc” will begin playback
immediately.
If the disc is a data CD, or if a USB device is selected, the Media
Launcher will continue to the next level. For a USB device, choose
between “File Playback” to hear audio tracks or view still images
stored on the device, or “BD-Live Storage” to use the device for
virtual memory for the BD-Live function. A USB drive with at least 1GB
capacity is required for BD-Live functionality. Select the "Storage"
option in this menu.
For a data CD, or if “File Playback” is selected for a USB device,
the next Media Launcher menu will appear. Use the

Buttons
to select the desired type of content, and press the OK Button. The
BDP 10 will display the folders and files stored on the disc. To open
a folder or play a file, use the Navigation Buttons to highlight the
item and press the OK Button. To return to the previous level of the
disc’s directory, press the Return Button. See pages 23–25 for more
detailed information.
The disc type, the disc’s track and timing information, and other
relevant data will appear in the Message Display.
When a button is pressed, an icon will appear on screen to indicate
the action, such as the standard transport modes (play, stop, pause,
fast and slow search, track skip), the opening or closing of the disc
drawer, or the prohibit icon (Ø) if the command is not available.
