Bd-Live Internet Connection
Set to allow or prohibit an Internet

■ What is a valid certificate?
When the player uses BD-LIVE to
send the disc data and a request
to the server to certify the disc, the
server uses the transmitted data to
check if the disc is valid and sends
the certificate back to the player.
