Using BD-LIVE
TM
functions
Introduction
Some (but not all) BluRay discs contain supplementary functions. These are
known as “BD-Live” functions, and include:
•
The facility to load film trailers
•
Additional commentaries by actors and directors
•
Games
•
Chat functions
•
Additional bonus material
The following requirements must be fulfilled if you wish to use BD-Live content:
•
The
K8
must be connected to the Internet (LAN connection)
•
A USB memory stick with adequate free space must be plugged in
Preparing the BD 1260 R for BD-Live use
Connecting BD-Live
memory
Using BD-Live requires a USB memory stick with a free capacity of at least
1 GByte.
1. The USB stick must be formatted using the FAT32 file system.
2. If this is not the case, please use a PC to format the stick with the FAT32 file
system before use.
3. Plug the memory stick into the front panel USB port of the
K8
.
Preparing the K8 for
Internet access
This is the procedure for preparing the
K8
for Internet access:
1. In the Setup menu (Settings) of the
K8
select the “System menu”.
2. In the menu select the point “BD-Live Internet Access”.
3. Ensure that
“Limit Access”
or
“Always Allow Access”
is selected.
4. Insert the prepared USB memory stick.
5. If there is less than 100 MByte of free space on the memory stick, select the
option “Clear BD Storage
”. This action erases any data present on the
memory stick,
and ensures that there is adequate free memory.
6. Call up the ‘Network’ menu in the Main menu of the
K8
.
7. Enter the correct network settings, i.e. those matching the settings of your
home network, your network router and your ISP (Internet Service Provider).
8. Carry out the
‘Connectivity Test’
.
Your system must pass the ‘Connectivity Test’, otherwise there is no
Internet connection, and the BD-Live Internet functions cannot be used.
BD-LIVE notes
Although downloaded BD-Live content is stored permanently on the USB
memory stick, you cannot use the content without the corresponding BD-Live
disc in the machine. For this reason, always place the appropriate BluRay disc
in the player when you wish to use BD-Live.
Some BD-Live content has a limited usage time, i.e. it lapses after a certain
period. Once the permitted usage time is over, you can no longer use the
material. From time to time it is therefore necessary to free up the USB stick of
data which you no longer use, or which can no longer be used. The unwanted
data can be erased using the sub-function “Clear BD storage” in the “System”
menu.
The only option is to erase the whole of the USB memory.
