Power Indicator: When the BdT 3/BdT 30 is plugged into Ac power and its rear-panel 

Main Power switch is set to “On,” the led turns amber to indicate that the player is in

control), the led turns white. 
Power Button: This button toggles the BdT 3/BdT 30 between the On and standby

BLU-RAY DISC PLAYER

R

110V-240V –50/60Hz 25W

NOTE: See Connecting the Player, on page 10, for detailed information about 

making connections.
Main Power Switch: This mechanical switch turns the BdT 3/BdT 30’s power 

supply on or off. After you have made and verified all connections (see Connecting 

the Player, on page 10), set this switch to the “On” position. If you will not be using 

the player for an extended period of time, you can set this switch to the “Off” position 

to save energy.
Power Cord Connector: After you have made and verified all other connections, plug 

the supplied Ac power cord into this input and into an unswitched Ac outlet.
Network Connector: To be able to use the Bd-live feature, connect this port to 

your local area network (lAN) using a cat. 5/cat. 5e/RJ45 network cable. see  

BD-Live Interactivity, on page 15, for more information.
Coaxial Digital Output Connector: connect this output to the coaxial digital input 

of your audio/video receiver or surround-sound processor. NOTe: If your audio/video 

receiver or surround-sound processor has an hdMI connection, we recommend 

using it for superior audio quality.
Analog Audio Output Connectors: connect these outputs to your audio/video 

receiver’s, surround-sound processor’s or analog recorder’s analog audio inputs.
Composite Video Output Connector: connect this output to your Tv’s or audio/video 

receiver’s composite video input. NOTe: If your Tv or audio/video receiver has an 

hdMI connection, we recommend using it for superior video quality.
HDMI Output Connector: connect the BdT player’s hdMI Output connector to the 

hdMI input on your Tv, audio/video receiver or surround-sound processor. The hdMI 

cable transmits both video and audio, so if you’re connecting it directly to the Tv 

and are connecting the BdT 3/BdT 30’s coaxial digital Output connector to a home 

theater audio system, we recommend that you disable the BdT 3/BdT 30’s hdMI 

Audio Out to take full advantage of the home theater audio system’s superior audio 

performance. see Audio Settings: Audio Output, on page 13, for more information.
IMPORTANT: your BdT 3/BdT 30 is in compliance with hdcP (high-definition copy 

Protection). your Tv must also be hdcP-compliant to be used with the player’s hdMI 

output. for the best results, we do not recommend hdMI connections in excess 

of ten feet without a repeater. If your Tv has a dvI input, you may use an optional 

hdMI-to-dvI cable or adapter for the video connection to the Tv. (The dvI connection 

is video-only.)
Fan Vents: The BdT 3/BdT 30 has a built-in fan to provide cooling air. To insure 

proper operation, make sure that these vents are not blocked.
