Do I need an Internet connection to watch Blu-ray Discs?
No. You can enjoy the superior picture and sound benefits of Blu-ray Discs without connecting to the Internet. However, an Internet connection is required to take advantage of additional features afforded by BD-Live, as well as the audio and video streaming capabilities provided by the latest Blu-ray players. A PC with an Internet connection also enables you to easily update the firmware of your Blu-ray player to take advantage of the latest features and performance improvements.
