The LDBK player adds an extra dimension to audio streams by providing you with information
related to the artist being played, the program grid, news from the Laid Back website and more«

The VBR200W is the new Blu-ray Player from Vizio. It is similar to Vizio¶s previous two Blu-
ray Players, but they have added some extra features. Mainly, Vizio¶s Internet Apps and Wi-Fi
capabilities. You are now able to stream online movies from Vulu or Netflix with a wireless
connection.

The VBR200W has a slightly slim design, measuring 2.4 inches in height. The controls are
located on the front of the player. All controls are touch sensitive. The silver disc tray is located
in the middle front of the player. The front has a glossy black finish, giving the over all design a
very high tech look. All input and output connections are located on the rear of the Blu-ray
Player.

  The VBR200W provides Full HD 1080p when playing back a Blu-ray disc. It
up-scales standard DVDs to near High Definition levels. There are three options to connect the
video, they are: HDMI(ver. 1.3), Component and Composite outputs. A HDMI connection will
give you the best video output when playing back Blu-ray and DVD discs.

  The VBR200W provides 7.1 multi-channel surround sound via HTMI. Other
audio connections are analog (2.0ch), Digital Optical/Coaxial outputs. It has audio internal
decoding for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. Unfortunately, there are no 7.1 analog
outputs. So an audio/video receiver that has a HDMI input is needed to decode the latest High-
Resolution Audio formats that are on the Blu-ray movie disc.

Vizio¶s VBR200W player has Internet Apps where you can access online streaming content such
as movies, music, news and weather. Some online services you can use are VUDU, Netflix,
Pandora Internet Radio, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Picasa, Associated Press and The New York
Times. An internet connect is required to take advantage of online streaming.

You can connect through the Ethernet Port or you can setup a wireless connection. The player
comes with a 802.11n wireless built-in, so connecting to your Home Network should be
easy.(802.11n is compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g wireless networks. More details can be
found in the Quick Start Guide and Owner¶s Manual). Unfortunately, connecting to your Home
Network does not mean you can stream video or music files from you computer to the Blu-ray
Player. It is not DLNA compliant. (Depending on your Home Network environment, a wired
connection is usually the most reliable, especially when streaming movies.)

You can, however access BD-Live content when connected to the internet. Many Blu-ray Discs
will have content or interactive features you can download or participate in. BD-Live content
will include such things as updated movie trailers, deleted scenes, documentaries, trivia games,
chat rooms and live commentary. There is no internal memory in this Vizio player, therefore you
will be required to insert an external memory storage device to access BD-Live content. A 1GB
Flash Drive inserted into the USB Port should be sufficient.
