The OPPO BDP-83 Blu-Ray Disc Player supports the BD-Live feature offered on some Blu-ray Disc titles.
BD-Live offers extra downloadable content and additional online interactive programs. The available BD-Live
contents vary by discs and studios, and may include additional subtitles, commentaries, movie trailers, games,
and/or online chat.
Connecting the player to the Internet will also allow the player to obtain firmware updates via the Internet.
(See pages 4 and 68 for more information regarding firmware updates.)
In order to utilize the BD-Live feature or update firmware via the Internet, the player needs to be connected to
a broadband Internet connection. You must have access to a working broadband Internet service connection.
It is not necessary to connect to the Internet if you do not intend to use the BD-Live and online firmware
updating functionality.
