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.

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.

Volume control
By default, the CR104 is set up so that the volume
control buttons always control the volume of an Arcam
amplier or receiver, regardless of which Device Mode
the remote is currently set for. is is known as volume
‘punch through’.
For example, if you are listening to a CD, you will
probably have the CR104 in

the remote directly to adjust the volume of an Arcam
amplier without rst having to press A to put the
remote into AMP Device Mode. e volume buttons

Here is a specic example of how to program the a
key to control an Addison television. e principles for
controlling other devices are exactly the same.
1. Make sure your device is switched on (not just on
standby).
2. Find the correct Device Code table (e.g. TV) for
the type of device you want to control from the
CR104.
3. Find the row containing the codes for the
manufacturer of your device (e.g. Addison) (page
34). e most popular code is listed rst.
4. Press the appropriate Device Mode key (e.g. a)
on the CR104.
5. Press and hold S until the red Power LED
blinks twice:
you press the key, then twice aer about three
seconds).
6. Enter the rst four-digit device code using the
number keys. e power key blinks twice:
7. Aim the CR104 at the device and press P. If the
device switches o, the setup is complete.
8. Turn your device back on and test all the CR104’s
functions to ensure they are working properly.

TUN
CD

9. Important! Write your device code down on the
right hand side of the page so you can remember
it if you ever reset the CR104.
What if I still can’t control my device?
If your device doesn’t respond, repeat the above
<
steps until one of the device codes listed for your
brand works.
If none of the codes listed for your brand operates
<
your device, or if your brand is not listed at all, try
the Library Search Method described in the next
section.
Notes:
Some codes are quite similar. If your device does
<
not respond or is not functioning properly with
one of the codes, try another code listed under
your brand.
If your device’s original remote control does not
<
have a P (POWER) key, press $ instead of P
when setting up your device.
Remember to press the corresponding device key
<
before operating your device.
Many TVs do not switch on pressing P. Please
<
try pressing a number key (‘channel select’) to
switch your TV back on.
To search for the code for another device follow
<
the instructions above, but press the appropriate
device key instead of a during step 2.
.
Method 2 (Library search)
is section describes another way to program the
CR104 to control third-party equipment.
Library Search allows you to scan through all the
codes contained in the CR104’s memory. It can take a
lot longer than the previous method, so only use this
method if:
Your device does not respond to the CR104 aer
<
you have tried all the codes listed for your brand.
Your brand is not listed at all in the Device Code

tables.
Example: To search for a TV code
1. Switch your TV on (not standby) and aim the
CR104 at it.
2. Press a on your CR104.
3. Press and hold S until the power LED blinks
twice.
4. Press 9 9 1. e power LED key blinks
twice: * *.
5. Press P.
6. Aim the CR104 at your Television and press [
repeatedly until your Television turns o.
Every time you press [ the CR104 sends out a
POWER signal from the next code contained in its
memory. In the worst case, you may have to press this
key up to 150 times, so patience is required! If you
skip past a code, step back by pressing ]. Remember
to keep pointing the CR104 at your Television while
pressing this key.
7. As soon as your television turns o, press S to
store the code.
Notes:
Many TVs do not switch on by pressing P. Try
<
pressing a number key (‘channel select’) to switch
your TV back on.
If you cannot control your Television properly,
<
please continue the Search Method: you may be
using the wrong code.
To search for the code for another device follow
<
the instructions above, but press the appropriate
Device Mode key instead of a during step 2.
If your device’s original remote control does not
<
have a P (STANDBY) key, press $ instead during
step 5.
Once you have set up your CR104, you can blink back
your device set-up codes for future reference.
Example: To blink back your Television code
1. Press the appropriate Device Mode key (e.g. a)
once.
2. Press and hold S until the red Power LED
blinks twice *
you press the key, then twice aer about three
seconds).
3. Press 9 9 0. e P key blinks twice.
4. For the rst digit of your four-digit code, press
and count all the red blinks. If there are no blinks,
the digit is ‘0’.
5. For the second, third and fourth digits, repeat the
previous step, pressing 2, 3, or 4 in order.

Learned functions are mode-dependent: You could
theoretically assign up to eight dierent functions
to a single key (the CR104 can handle a total of 16
learned functions).
Example: To copy the ‘text hold’ function
from a TV remote onto the ( key of your
CR104
1. Place both remotes on a at surface, 2 to 5cm
apart, with the IR ports facing each other.

Shifted Learning
You can assign a learned function to a CR104 key
without sacricing its original function.
You can assign Shied Learning functions to any key
except for: Device Mode keys (e.g. a), S, or number
keys (0 to 9).
1. To assign a Shied Learning function, simply
follow Code Learning steps in the previous
section. During step 5, press S once before you
press the key to which you want to assign the
learned function.
2. To access the shied function, press S and then
the target key.
Important notes
Once you start a Code Learning session, you have

approximately 10 seconds to conduct each step.
Any longer, and a timeout means that you’ll have
to start the process again.
e Learning feature is mode-specic – you can

Creating Macros
You can program your CR104 to issue a sequence of
commands when you press a single key. Any sequence of
commands you regularly use can be reduced to a single
key press for your convenience.
For example, you might want to turn o your TV, VCR
and Satellite at the same time.
A key programmed with a Macro is available in all
<
modes; it will replace that key’s dierent functions
for all modes.
A Macro can consist of up to eight key presses.
<
Example: To assign a Macro to the h key
1. Press and hold S until the power LED blinks
twice: * *.
2. Press
3. Press h (the Macro will be assigned to this key).
4. Press a, P, w, P, z, P. (ese are the

power LED blinks twice: * *.
e important word here is ‘toggle’. For example,
if the TV and Satellite devices are currently on,
but the VCR is o, pressing h will switch o the
TV and Satellite and switch on the VCR (rather
than switching all three devices on or o).
When using Macros, remember that you may
need to change mode or use S, and that each
key press (including changing modes and pressing
) counts as one of the Macro steps. You cannot
S
use a Macro key within another Macro.
If the amount of memory storage for a particular
Macro is exceeded, the power LED comes on for
ve seconds. You can, however, save the macro
steps up to that point by pressing S, or you can
cancel the Macro recording by pressing any other
key.
e delay between key presses is recorded as
part of the Macro. A delay of up to 30 seconds is
permitted.
.
Example: To deassign the Macro associated
with the h key
1. Press and hold S until the power LED blinks
twice: * *.
2. Press 9 9 5.
3. Press h.
4. Press and hold S until the power LED blinks
twice: * *.
Volume punch-through
Volume punch-through means that, no matter which
Device Mode is selected, the CR104 controls the
AVR500, AVR600 or AV888 volume. You don’t need to
press A on your CR104; this feature is switched on by
default.
ere are times, however, when you might want to
control a device’s volume directly when in a specic
Device Mode.
Example: To cancel volume punch-through
for a TV (AV mode)
1. Press a once.
2. Press and hold S until the power LED blinks
twice: * *.
3. Press 9 9 3.
4. Press -. e power LED blinks four times.
Now, while in TV (AV) mode, you will be able to control
the volume or mute functions of your TV directly.
To completely cancel all volume punchthrough settings
1. Press and hold S until the power LED blinks
twice: * *.
2. Press 9 9 3.
3. Press +. e power LED blinks four times *

Now, whichever mode you’re in, you will have direct
access to that device’s volume or mute functions,
assuming they are available. You would need to switch to
AMP mode to alter the AVR500/AVR600/AV888 volume.
Example: To restore default volume punchthrough settings to all Device Modes
1. Press and hold S until the power LED blinks
twice:
2. Press
3. Press A. e power key LED blinks twice: *

Key Mover
Sometimes you might nd that a key you use a lot for
your system is in the ‘wrong’ place on the CR104 keypad
for your comfort. It’s quite easy to reassign a favourite
function to a more accessible key. It is even possible
to move a function from one Device Mode to another
Device Mode.
Example: To assign the D function to the U
key in SAT mode
1. Press z.
2. Press and hold S until the power LED blinks
twice: * *.
3. Press 9 9 4.
4. Press the key you want to move (e.g. D)
5. Press the key you want to move the key to (e.g.
).
U
Now, pressing either D or U while in SAT Device
Mode makes the CR104 transmit the D function.
To completely swap over the functionality of the two
keys to put the U functionality on the D key, repeat
the above process again, but swap over the D and U
key presses in the example.
Note that the function that is copied over to the new key
is always the original function of the old key.
Restore a moved key
To restore a key to its previous function, repeat the
example above, pressing the key to be restored twice
(copy it back to itself).
Restore all moved keys for a Device Mode
To restore all keys in a Device Mode to their original
functional positions, repeat the example above, but press
the relevant Device Mode key (e.g. A) at points 1,4 and
5 in the example.

Copy a key between Device Modes
It is possible to copy functions between Device Modes.
However, remember that button functions are Device
Mode specic and therefore eectively ‘punch-through’
to the original Device Mode when copied over.
e following example copies the AVR500/AVR600/
AV888
DIREC T function from the CR104 AMP device
mode to the shied function of the # button on AV
Device Mode.
1. Press and hold S until the power LED blinks
twice: * *.
2. Press 9 9 4.
3. Press the Device Mode key of the function you
want to move (e.g. A).
4. Press the function key you want to move (e.g.)/
DIREC T)
5. Press the key of the Device Mode you want to
copy the function to (e.g. a)
6. Press the S button graphic
7. Press the key you want to copy the function to
(e.g. #)
If you prefer to copy the key to the main function of the
button instead of the ‘shied’ function, omit point 6
#
in the above example.
Mode Mover
If your home entertainment setup contains devices of
the same type (e.g. two TVs, perhaps from dierent
manufacturers) you can still control both those devices
with the CR104. You simply need to reassign an unused
Device Mode key.
NOTE
Before using Mode Mover, make sure both the
source and destination Device Mode keys are
unlocked (see next section).
Example: To use the z key to control a
second TV
1. Press and hold S until the power LED blinks
twice: * *.
3. Press 9 9 2.
3. Press the Device Mode key for the type of device
you want to control (e.g. for a TV, press a).
4. Press the Device Mode key you want to use (e.g.
).
z
5. Don’t forget to set up the CR104 to control the
second device, using one of the methods from
“Controlling other devices” on page E-15.
Note that volume punch-through is not applied to a
Device Mode that has been copied using Mode Mover.
However, volume punch-through functionality can be
restored when you have used Mode Mover, by copying
and @ from the AMP Device Mode to the
-, +
same physical buttons on the new moved Device Mode
using the last example shown in Key Mover.
To restore a moved Device Mode key to its
original state
1. Press and hold S until the power LED blinks
twice: * *.
2. Press 9 9 2.
3. Press the Device Mode key you want to restore
twice.
Locking/Unlocking a specific
Device Mode
When you rst unpack your CR104 and insert the
batteries, for your convenience it is able to control
certain Arcam components automatically (e.g. DVD
players, Ampliers, Tuners and CD Players). We achieve
this by preprogramming specic Arcam device codes
onto the relevant Device Mode keys, then locking
the Device Modes so you don’t reprogram them
inadvertently.
If you want to override these locked default settings – to
control a third-party CD player, for example – you will
rst need to unlock CD Mode before setting up the
CR104 using one of the methods described at the start
of this guide.
Here are the factory default settings:
Device Mode Default status Default Arcam
codes
BD
SAT
AV
TUN
AMP
PVR
VCR
CD
Alternative codes are available for multi-room solutions,
or in the case of code clashes with other manufacturer’s
products.
For example:
AMP (system code 19) 1954
You will need to change the system code on the product
you wish to control, as well as the CR104.
NOTE
e
AMP Device Mode can only be used to control
Arcam ampliers like the AVR500, AVR600 and
AV888, either on its default or alternative IR system
codes.
Locked 0762
Unlocked 1205

To toggle a Device Mode lock setting:
1. Press the Device Mode key you want to unlock
(e.g.
)
c
2. Press and hold S until the power LED blinks
twice: * *.
3. Press 9 8 2.
e power LED blinks twice when being locked,

and blinks four times when being unlocked.
If you enter an invalid key sequence, the power
<
LED gives one long blink and returns to normal
operation.
While the Device Mode key is locked, the Direct Code
Setup and Move Mode functions are not available.
