Arcam’s BDP100 provides class-leading sound quality from
Blu-ray Discs, DVD-Video discs and compact discs.
e BDP100 has a state-of-the-art Delta-Sigma DAC
(Digital-to-Analogue Converter) which provides audiophile
sound quality for video and audio discs.
e BDP100 is supplied with the CR104 ‘universal’ remote
control, which is simple to use and can control up to eight
audio devices – such as an amplifer, television or Personal
Video Recorder.
e high performance BDP100 Blu-ray Disc player is
designed to truly bring your movies and music to life.
Placing the unit
< Place the BD player on a level, rm surface,
avoiding direct sunlight and sources of heat or
damp.
< Do not place the BD player on top of an amplier
or other source of heat.
< Do not place the BD player in an enclosed space
such as a bookcase or closed cabinet unless there
is good provision for ventilation. e BD player is
designed to run warm during normal operation.
< Do not place any other component or item on
top of the BD player as this may obstruct airow
around the unit, causing the BD player to run hot.
< Make sure the remote-control receiver (next to
the display on the front panel) is unobstructed, or
remote control will be impaired.
< Do not place your record deck on top of this
unit. Record decks are very sensitive to the noise
generated by mains power supplies which will be
heard as a background ‘hum’ if the record deck is
too close.
Power
e BD player is supplied with a moulded mains plug
already tted to the lead. Check that the plug supplied
ts your supply – should you require a new mains lead,
please contact your Arcam dealer.
If your mains supply voltage or mains plug is dierent,
please contact your Arcam dealer immediately
Push the IEC plug end of the power cable into the
socket on the back of the BD player, making sure that it
is pushed in rmly. Plug the other end of the cable into
your mains socket and, if necessary, switch the socket
on.
The remote control and trigger
inputs
e REMOTE IN input can be used to pass RC5 codes
(listed on page E-30) to the BDP100 if it is installed in a
position, or a system, where infrared cannot be used. If
this is required, please contact your dealer for further
information.
e
TRIGGE R IN input can be used to switch the BDP100
in and out of stand-by. Connecting the trigger output of
your Arcam amplier (or other compatible device), will
cause the BDP100 to come out of stand-by automatically
when the amplier is switched on, returning to stand-by
when the amplier is switched o. Please see your
amplier handbook for further information.
In normal use there is no need to make any connections
to these inputs.
e remote control input requires a mono 3.5mm
jack, with the tip active and the sleeve grounded.
e remote control signals must be in modulated
RC5 format (at 36kHz), with a voltage level of
between 5V and 12V.
RS232 input is for optional connection to a home
e
automation system or a computer. Various third-party
sytems are available providing sophisticated control
over all your entertainment devices using touch screens
etc. Contact your dealer or installer for further details.
e technical details of the remote control protocol
are available from Arcam on request (email support@
arcam.co.uk).
Interconnect cables
We recommend the use of high-quality screened cables
that are designed for the particular application. Other
cables will have dierent impedance characteristics
that will degrade the performance of your system (for
example, do not use cabling intended for video use to
carry audio signals). All cables should be kept as short as
is practically possible.
It is good practice when connecting your equipment to
make sure that the mains power-supply cabling is kept
as far away as possible from your audio cables. Failure to
do so may result in unwanted noise in the audio signals.
E-4
Power inlet
Connect the correct
mains cable here.
Analogue audio output
Connect these to your amplier’s CD (or other
line-level) input using suitable high quality
interconnect cables. Ensure that the le and
right audio outputs from the BD player are
connected to the same le and right inputs on
your amplier.
12V trigger input
is socket allows the BDP100 to be switched
in and out of stand-by mode by an amplier
(or another item of AV equipment) with a
12V TRIG OU T function. See page E-4.
Coaxial digital output
Use this socket if you are using an
AV receiver with a coaxial digital
input. Connect to the digital input
using a suitable 75Ω screened cable.
CAUTION: Never connect
the digital output socket to a
conventional audio input.
Composite video output
Connect this output to your
display if the display does not
support any other connection
types.
USB connection
Insert USB ash memory

using an AV receiver with an
optical digital audio input.
Zone 2 audio output
Use this analogue output to
provide audio for use in your
AV receiver’s Zone 2. It can also
be used to connect a recording
device or headphone amplier.
Component video output
If your display does not support
HDMI but has a component input,
connect it to this video output.
E-5
Network connection
Connect this socket to a port on your
network router using an Ethernet
patch cable (see page E-9). An internet
connection enables interactive
content for BD-Live discs (for setup
details see “Network” on page E-22).
HDMI digital video output
Connect this output to your display
or AV receiver if available for the best
digital video and audio connection
(see. page E-7 for details).
Making video connections
To view the pictures from the BD player you need to connect one of its video outputs to your display device (TV,
monitor, projector, etc.) or AV receiver (such as the Arcam AVR600).
e BDP100 has three video output options, described below. You need only use one type of video from the list;
choose a type that your display device or AV receiver supports. If your equipment does not support any of the above
connection types then you will be unable to use it directly with the BDP100 and a video converter device may be
required. In this case, please contact your dealer for further assistance.
AV receivers and other video processing devices may be connected between the BDP100 and your display. Ensure
that all the equipment supports the type of video signal you intend to use. For instructions on how to connect AV
equipment, consult the manual for that equipment.
HDMI DIGITAL VIDEO
e HDMI connector oers uncompressed digital video and audio transmission between
the BDP100 and the display device, and provides the highest quality output. Generally, it
is also the easiest connection type to congure.
To use this video connection, you will require a HDMI or HDMI/DVI cable between the
BDP100 and your display device or receiver. See page E-7 for further details.
COMPONENT VIDEO
Use three 75 phono cables to connect the Component Y, Pb, Pr outputs of the BD
player to the Y, Pb, Pr inputs of the display device. Ensure that the cables are suitable for
video use and that they are approximately the same length.
If your television is capable of accepting a progressively scanned (de-interlaced) video
signal, you may wish to use the progressive video output from the BDP100. If you are
unsure whether your display device can accept progressive video, please refer to its
instruction manual or consult your dealer.
Making audio connections
e BDP100 oers a number of alternatives for connecting audio. e connection type to use depends on the rest of
your system; chose the type most appropriate to your amplier.
If you want to listen to audio through... ...we recommend the following:
Your television
<
How you listen to audio through your TV depends on the inputs it has and your
video connection:
HDMI: If you are using an HDMI connection (not DVI), this will carry both
<
audio and video. No further connection is required.
Digital Audio (Coaxial or Optical): If your TV has Digital Audio inputs on
<
Coaxial or Optical connectors, connect the appropriate digital audio lead
between the TV input and the appropriate BDP100 digital output. Do not
make a connection between the BDP100 and a TV’s Digital Audio output.
Stereo phono: If your TV has stereo phono inputs, follow the instructions
<
below for a stereo amplier.
Your stereo amplier
<
If you wish to listen to audio from your player through a stereo amplier, then use the
stereo analogue outputs. ese outputs provide a stereo down-mix of the source material.
Using a stereo phono cable of a suitable length, connect the outputs labeled
the le and right inputs (respectively) for DVD or CD on your amplier.
Your surround-sound receiver
<
Connect the HDMI output to your receiver (for audio and video) if the receiver supports
audio over HDMI. e HDMI connection supports all possible audio formats including
Dolby TrueHD, DTS Master Audio and multichannel PCM.
If your receiver does not support HDMI audio, connect one of the Digital Audio outputs
(Optical or Coaxial) to the ‘Blu-ray’, ‘BD’ or ‘DVD’ input of your receiver. ese digital
outputs provide PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG multi-channel audio, depending on
the source material. e BDP100 can also be set to re-encode all audio to DTS (“Bitstream
Mixed”) (see “Audio” on page E-21). is option provides the best surround sound quality for
Digital Audio connections.
You may also wish to connect the stereo analogue audio outputs to the CD input on your
receiver, for listening to CDs. is will allow the BDP100’s audiophile digital-to-analogue
circuitry to be utilised, for the best stereo sound quality.
ZONE 1 AUDI O to
COMPOSITE VIDEO
If your display device oers only a composite input (sometimes labelled CVBS or just
‘video’), connect this to the
cable suitable for video use. Note that a composite video connection gives the lowestquality output; if your display device supports other video connection types, we advise
that those are used instead.
COMPOSI TE video output of the BD player using a 75 phono
E-6
Using two video connections simultaneously
It is possible to use two video connections simultaneously (routing one connection to a
second room or display, for example). If you wish to do this, please read these notes:
e Composite video output is always active.
<
It carries interlaced output at all times.
e Component video output is always active.
<
It can be set to carry either interlaced or progressive-scan output.
e HDMI output is active only if a compatible display is detected by the BDP100.
<
It can be set to carry either interlaced, progressive-scan or high-denition output.
The HDMI interface
If you have a HDMI- or DVI-equipped monitor or
display, you can connect it to the BDP100 using a HDMI
cable. e HDMI connector carries uncompressed
digital video, as well as digital audio.
About HDMI
HDMI (High Denition Multimedia Interface) supports
both video and audio on a single digital connection
for use with Blu-ray Disc players, digital TV, set-top
boxes, and other AV devices. HDMI was developed to
combine the technologies of High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection (HDCP) and the Digital Visual
Interface (DVI) in one specication, with the addition
of transmission of digital audio information; HDCP is
used to protect digital content transmitted to DVIcompliant displays.
HDMI has the capability to support standard or
high-denition video, together with stereo or multichannel surround-sound audio. HDMI features include
uncompressed digital video, one connector (instead of
several cables and connectors), and communication
between the AV source and AV devices.
Connecting using HDMI
Use a HDMI cable to connect the HDMI socket on
this player to a HDMI socket on a compatible display
device or receiver. e arrow on the cable connector
body should be face up for correct alignment with
the connector on the BDP100. If the BDP100 video
resolution has been congured to ‘HDMI Auto’, then the
BDP100 will congure its video output automatically to
match the capabilities of the attached HDMI device.
NOTE: A HDMI connection can be made only with
HDMI or DVI-equipped components compatible
with both DVI and HDCP. Note that if you choose
to connect to a DVI device, you will need an adaptor
(HDMI to DVI) to do so; a DVI/HDCP connection,
however, does not support audio signals.
If you require further information on the
possibilities for connecting your BDP100 to your
DVI/HDMI equipped display device, please contact
your Arcam dealer.
Troubleshooting HDMI
Problems with video
No video (blank screen)
Check that the HDMI cable is connected correctly at
<
both ends. If an HDMI-equipped A/V receiver is in
use, try connecting the BDP100 directly to the display
device, in order to isolate where the fault may lie.
Check that the display device is set to display the
<
HDMI input (i.e., has not been set to some other
video input, instead).
Check that the HDMI input of the receiver and/or
<
display device is enabled. See the user handbook of
the connected device for details on doing this.
Using an alternative video display device (e.g.,
<
connected via the composite video out), check that
video is output.
Consult the user handbook of the display device to
<
ensure that it can handle the output formats provided
by the BDP100. e BDP100 can provide the
following:
720 x 480p (NTSC progressive scan) 1280 x 720p
720(1440) x 480i (NTSC interlaced) 1920 x 1080i
720 x 576p (PAL progressive scan) 1920 x 1080p
720(1440) x 576i (PAL interlaced)
At least one of these standards must be supported by
the connected device in order for it to work with the
BDP100.
No video (random noise)
Random noise will be displayed if the content-protection
algorithm fails to authenticate the attached device. is will
occur, for example, if a DVI device that does not support
HDCP (such as a computer monitor) is connected to the
BDP100.
To attempt to isolate this problem, remove all discs from the
BDP100, then power-o both the BDP100 and the connected
display device. Switch the display device on, then the BDP100
– at this point, the idle logo of the BDP100 should be shown on
the display device. If this is not the case, please check the items
listed above for a blank screen.
If the noise appears when a copy-protected disc (Blu-ray/DVD)
is played, then it is the authentication that is failing. Please
contact your dealer for further information.
Problems with audio
e type of audio provided by the HDMI connector
depends on the conguration of the BDP100 (see
‘Audio Setup’ on page E-21). Choose a setting according
to the capabilities of your audio system. Note that
pure DVI devices (connections requiring a HDMI to
DVI converter cable) do not support audio via this
connection.
