NOTES:
• Due to differences in the authoring of discs, it is possible that
some discs may include features that are not compatible with the
BDP 10, and not all discs include every system capability.
• Playback of recordable discs created on a computer requires
proper formatting and finalization of the disc.
• The BDP 10 is compatible with most but not all files encoded
using MP3. For best results, encode MP3 files at bit rates
ranging between 32kbps and 320kbps.
• JPEG files should contain no more than 10 megapixels, and the
file size should be no larger than 5MB
• Discs that are compatible with DVD-RAM Standard Version 2.0
may be played. The discs must be finalized, VR-mode only.
• MP3, WMA and JPEG files must be stored on the media with the
proper file extension.
USB Device Compatibility
USB client devices, such as flash drives and most external or portable
hard-disc drives that are formatted with the FAT32 file system, may
be connected to the BDP 10’s front-panel USB port. Due to the wide
variation in hard-disc drive technologies and formats, compatibility with
any particular device cannot be guaranteed.
Do not connect a personal computer directly to the BDP 10. Due to
their software design, the iPod, most other USB peripheral devices and
accessories – such as card readers, keyboards and pointing devices –
and software-specific digital media players are not compatible with the
USB ports on the BDP 10, even when placed in disc mode.
A USB drive with greater than 1GB capacity is required for BD-Live
functionality. The drive is used for virtual storage. When BD-Live
functionality is not in use, audio and still-image files stored on the drive
may be played similarly to a data CD.
