Getting Started

Depending on the conditions of the

recording equipment or the CD-R/RW (or

DVD±R/RW) disc itself, some CD-R/RW (or

DVD±R/RW) discs cannot be played on the

unit.

Depending on the recording software & the

nalization, some recorded discs (CD-R/RW,

DVD±R/RW, BD-R/RE) may not be playable.

BD-R/RE, DVD±R/RW and CD-R/RW discs

recorded using a personal computer or a

DVD or CD Recorder may not play if the

disc is damaged or dirty, or if there is dirt or

condensation on the player’s lens.

If you record a disc using a personal

computer, even if it is recorded in a

compatible format, there are cases in which

it may not play because of the settings of

the application software used to create the

disc. (Check with the software publisher for

more detailed information.)

This player requires discs and recordings to

meet certain technical standards in order to

achieve optimal playback quality.

Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to

these standards. There are many dierent

types of recordable disc formats (including

CD-R containing MP3 or WMA les) and

these require certain pre-existing conditions

to ensure compatible playback.

Customers should note that permission

is required in order to download MP3 /

WMA les and music from the Internet.

Our company has no right to grant such

permission. Permission should always be

sought from the copyright owner.

You have to set the disc format option

to [Mastered] in order to make the discs

compatible with the LG players when

formatting rewritable discs. When setting

the option to Live System, you cannot use

it on LG player. (Mastered/Live File System :

Disc format system for windows Vista)

Connecting to your

Home Network

This player can be connected to a local area

network (LAN) via the LAN port on the rear panel or

the internal wireless module.

By connecting the unit to a broadband home

network, you have access to services such as

software updates, BD-Live interactivity and online

content services.

Wired network connection

Using a wired network provides the best

performance, because the attached devices

connect directly to the network and are not subject

to radio frequency interference.

Please refer to the documentation for your network

device for further instructions.

Connect the player’s LAN port to the corresponding

port on your Modem or Router using a

commercially available LAN or Ethernet cable.

When plugging or unplugging the LAN

cable, hold the plug portion of the cable.

When unplugging, do not pull on the LAN

cable but unplug while pressing down on

the lock.

Do not connect a modular phone cable to

the LAN port.

Since there are various connection

congurations, please follow the

specications of your telecommunication

carrier or internet service provider.

If you want to access content from DLNA

servers, this player must be connected to

the same local area network with them via a

router.

Notes on network connection

Many network connection problems during

set up can often be xed by re-setting the

router or modem. After connecting the player

to the home network, quickly power o and/

or disconnect the power cable of the home

network router or cable modem. Then power on

and/or connect the power cable again.

Depending on the internet service provider (ISP),

the number of devices that can receive internet

service may be limited by the applicable terms

of service. For details, contact your ISP.

Our company is not responsible for any

malfunction of the player and/or the internet

connection feature due to communication

errors/malfunctions associated with your

broadband internet connection, or other

connected equipment.

The features of BD-ROM discs made available

through the Internet Connection feature are not

created or provided by our company, and our

company is not responsible for their functionality

or continued availability. Some disc related

material available by the Internet Connection

may not be compatible with this player. If you

have questions about such content, please

contact the producer of the disc.

Some internet content may require a higher

bandwidth connection.

Even if the player is properly connected and

congured, some internet content may not

operate properly because of internet congestion,

the quality or bandwidth of your internet service,

or problems at the provider of the content.

Some internet connection operations may not

be possible due to certain restrictions set by the

Internet service provider (ISP) supplying your

broadband Internet connection.

Any fees charged by an ISP including, without

limitation, connection charges are your

responsibility.

A 10 Base-T or 100 Base-TX LAN port is required

for wired connection to this player. If your

internet service does not allow for such a

connection, you will not be able to connect the

player.

You must use a Router to use xDSL service.

A DSL modem is required to use DSL service and

a cable modem is required to use cable modem

service. Depending on the access method of and

subscriber agreement with your ISP, you may not

be able to use the internet connection feature

contained in this player or you may be limited

to the number of devices you can connect at

the same time. (If your ISP limits subscription to

one device, this player may not be allowed to

connect when a PC is already connected.)

The use of a “Router” may not be allowed or its

usage may be limited depending on the policies

and restrictions of your ISP. For details, contact

your ISP directly.

The wireless network operate at 2.4 GHz

radio frequencies that are also used by other

household devices such as cordless telephone,

Bluetooth® devices, microwave oven, and can be

aected by interference from them.

Turn o all unused network equipment in

your local home network. Some devices may

generate network trac.

For the purpose of the better transmission,

placing the player from the access point as close

as possible.

In some instances, placing the access point or

wireless router at least 0.45 m (1.5 ft.) above the

oor may improve the reception.

Move closer to the access point if possible or re-

orient the player so there is nothing between it

and the access point.

The reception quality over wireless depends on

many factors such as type of the access point,

distance between the player and access point,

and the location of the player.

Set your access point or wireless router to

Infrastructure mode. Ad-hoc mode is not

supported.

About DLNA

This Player is a DLNA Certied digital media player

that can display and play video, photo and audio

content from your DLNA-compatible digital media

server (PC and Consumer Electronics).

The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a

cross-industry organization of consumer electronics,

computing industry and mobile device companies.

Digital Living provides consumers with easy sharing

of digital media through your home network.

The DLNA certication logo makes it easy

to nd products that comply with the DLNA

Interoperability Guidelines. This unit complies with

DLNA Interoperability Guidelines v1.5.

When a PC running DLNA server software or

other DLNA compatible device is connected to

this player, some setting changes of software or

other devices may be required. Please refer to the

operating instructions for the software or device for

more information.

Certain system requirements

For high denition video playback:

High denition display that has HDMI input jack.

BD-ROM disc with high denition content.

HDMI or HDCP capable DVI input on your display

device is required for some content (as specied

by disc authors).

Compatibility notes

Because BD-ROM is a new format, certain disc,

digital connection and other compatibility issues

are possible. If you experience compatibility

problems, please contact an authorized

Customer Service Center.

This unit allows you to enjoy functions such

as picture-in-picture, secondary audio and

Virtual packages, etc., with BD-ROM supporting

BONUSVIEW (BD-ROM version 2 Prole 1 version

1.1). Secondary video and audio can be played

from a disc compatible with the picture-in-

picture function. For the playback method, refer

to the instructions in the disc.

Viewing high-denition content and up-

converting standard DVD content may require a

HDMI-capable input or HDCP-capable DVI input

on your display device.

Some BD-ROM and DVD discs may restrict the

use of some operation commands or features.

You can use an USB device to store some disc

related information, including downloaded

online content. The disc you are using will

control how long this information is retained.
