Question:

How to perform the initial settings for a Blu-ray player?

 

Answer:

Your Blu-ray player will have the same initial settings setup structure when the player is first turned on and when the player is reset.

Before beginning the steps below check the following:

  • The Blu-ray player is connected to your TV, for instructions click here.
  • The Ethernet cable is connected to the LAN port located on the back of the player.

When you power on the player for the first time or when you reset your player, you will see the following:

  1. Initial Settings – On Screen Language. Using the ▲ and ▼ arrows on the Blu-ray remote, select your preferred language for on-screen displays and then press Enter/. This is followed by the second initial setup screen below.

  1. Initial Settings - Start is automatically highlighted, press the Enter button on the Blu-ray remote to begin. This is followed by the TV Aspect screen.

  1. Initial Settings - TV Aspect. Using the ▲ and ▼ arrows on the Blu-ray remote select the option that best matches the type of Television the Blu-ray is connected to. This is followed by the Network setup screen.
    • 16:9 - Select when connecting to a 16:9 TV screen. All content will be displayed at the original aspect ratio. Content formatted in 4:3 will be displayed with black bars on the left and right.
    • 16:9 Wide – Select when connecting to a 16:9 TV screen. All content will fill the full screen. Content formatted in 4:3 will be stretched.
    • 4:3 Letter Box – Select when connecting to a 4:3 TV screen. All content will be displayed at the original aspect ratio. Content formatted in 16:9 will be displayed with black bars on the top and bottom.
    • 4:3 Pan-Scan – Select when connecting to a 4:3 TV screen. 16:9 content will have the extreme left and right portion cut off.

  1. Initial Settings - Network. Using the ◀ and ▶ arrows on the Blu-ray remote, move to Wired and then press Enter. The Blu-ray player begins searching for available networks in the area and displays a list once the search is completed.

    Note: If the Ethernet cable is not connected a message, ‘Please verify that network cable is connected’ is displayed.          

  1. Initial Setting - Internet Protocol. Auto is automatically highlighted, press Enter to select it. By selecting auto the IP address is automatically configured. This is followed by the Network Test screen.

  1. The Network Test screen is displayed. A check mark appears to the left of each test as it passes, when complete press OK.

             

  1. The 'Initial settings completed' message appears briefly before the home menu is displayed, this completes the Wired Setup Process.

Notes: 

  • These settings can be changed later in the settings menu.
  • Each time the Blu-ray player is reset (press and hold the Stop button on the player with no disc) you will be prompted to go thru steps 1-7.
  • If you do not wish to setup your network during the initial setup, press the blue D button on the Blu-ray remote to skip.
