Page 18

CONNECTING THE PLAYER
HDMI can transmit both audio and video signals over a single cable. If you
have an HDMI capable receiver that can support HDMI audio, you can simply run an HDMI cable from the player to your receiver and enable HDMI audio on the receiver (see your receiver’s owners’ manual for more information). The receiver usually has an HDMI output that you can connect to your TV to pass the video signal.
HDMI is a wonderful thing. A single cable can transport both audio AND video
from your player to your display. Be aware, however, that HDMI is an evolving standard, and there could be compatibility issues. A receiver that supports audio input over HDMI is required.
Some receivers offer HDMI ports solely for video switching. If your receiver
does not have audio input capability, please read the following sections regarding other connection methods.
In order to play multi-channel audio for all formats, the receiver must support
HDMI v1.1 or later. For Blu-ray Disc, a receiver that supports HDMI v1.3 with decoding capability for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio is preferred. Please check the specifications of your receiver to ensure that it meets the requirements.
Due to bandwidth limitations, high resolution audio formats such as Dolby
Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD High Resolution and DTS-HD Master Audio cannot be sent through the coaxial digital audio output. A reduced resolution version of the same audio track will be output instead. To listen to high resolution audio formats in their best quality, please use the HDMI connection if you have a receiver that handles HDMI audio.
Due to copyright restrictions and bandwidth limitations, full resolution audio
from DVDAudio discs cannot be sent through the coaxial or optical digital audio output. To listen to DVD-Audio in full resolution, please use the HDMI or analogue audio connections.

CONNECTING THE PLAYER
CONNECTING A USB DEVICE
Requires a USB Flash drive or an external USB HDD (not included).
1. Insert the USB drive (or cable) into the USB port on the front of the player.
2. To access the content of the USB device for playback please see the Media Center section later in this manual.
NOTE: The USB ports are rated to provide a maximum of 5V, 500mA power to the USB drive. It is sufficient for all USB thumb drives and flash memory card readers, but may not be sufficient for USB hard disks. It is recommended that you use a USB hard disk with an external power supply.
This unit supports “USB Mass Storage Class Bulk-Only Transport” devices only. Most USB thumbs drives, portable hard disk drives and card readers conform to this device class. Other USB devices such as MP3 players, digital cameras, and mobile phones may not be compatible.
Supported USB drives must be formatted with the FAT (File Allocation Table) or FAT32 file system.
In some cases, an incompatible USB device may cause the player to stop responding. If this occurs simply turn off the power, remove the USB device, and turn the player back on.
The player accesses the USB drive in read and write mode. In order to minimize the risk of data corruption, it is recommended that you only unplug the USB device when playback is completely stopped.

Aspect Ratios
The Picture Aspect Ratio can be changed not only to suit the Display type but the content being played as well.
4:3 or Standard Aspect Ratio TV 16:9 or Widescreen Aspect Ratio TV You can set the way that a Wide screen image will be displayed on the display device. Setting the Aspect ratio as described in the main Set-Up menu allows you to adjust the way
that you view the video from your BLU-BD1000 player. Please see below to see an indication of how different content is displayed.
Original content
4:3 Letterbox 4:3 Pan & Scan 16:9 Normal 16:9 Full Screen
4:3
16:9
Note: Some movies are presented in 2:35.1 ratio to preserve the Theatrical release originality of the movie. These movies will present with a black bar across the top and bottom of the picture during playback. This is normal for these movies.
Some early DVD titles prior to main stream Widescreen television use a 4:3 non-anamorphic widescreen aspect ratio. When played on a 16:9 display, the content is shown in a small window with black borders on all four sides.
The top and bottom borders are encoded into the video. The left and right borders are added by the player to maintain the correct aspect ratio. For this type of discs the “Full Screen” zoom mode can be used to eliminate the borders.
Please check the original disc case to determine the aspect ration the movie is presented in.

HDMI Deep Colour
Deep Colour is an OPTION for some TVs or projectors that feature HDMI v1.3 inputs. Normally, each pixel of the video image is transmitted using 24-bit data (8-bit per channel for R, G, B or Y, Cb, Cr).
If Deep Colour is supported, each pixel of the video image can be transmitted using 30-bit (10-bit per channel), 36-bit (12-bit per channel) or 48-bit (16 bit per channel) data. The increased bit depth should result in smoother colour transitions and better gradients. The available options are:
30 bits: Sets the colour depth at 32 bit mode. 36 bits: Sets the colour depth at 36 bit mode. 48 bits: Sets the colour depth at 48 bit mode. OFF: Turns Deep Colour Mode OFF
Note: Deep Colour mode may not be supported by all Televisions and these settings may result in no change to the picture quality being displayed.
At this time no disc is encoded with Deep Colour. Enabling deep colour will not make colour richer but will help preserve the maximum precision as a result of video processing and picture control.
HDMI V1.3 or later cable must be used.
HDMI 1080P 24Hz
Also known as 24P, this option only applies to the HDMI output at 1080p resolution. Many Blu-ray Discs that originated from theatrical movies are encoded using 24Hz frame rate, the same number of frames per second as the original theatrical film. If the TV properly supports 1080p 24Hz, smoother motion can be achieved by enabling 1080p 24Hz Output for such discs.
The available options are
ON: Video encoded in 24Hz frame rate will be output as 1080p 24Hz without regard
to whether the TV can support the 1080p24 signal or not. If the TV cannot support 1080p24, selecting this option will result in no video.
*Please ensure that your television support this features before selecting.
OFF: Video Encoded in the 24Hz frame rate will be converted to 50Hz (PAL) or 60Hz
(NTSC).

Audio Setup
As well as the Audio setup as described earlier in this manual, if you have audio set up through the television or to a Home Theatre System, the BLU-BD1000 allows you to fine tune the audio output to best suit your environment.
From the Main Setup menu select Audio Settings >> Speaker Settings >> Configuration. Select the number of speakers that you have connected to your system from simple stereo
speaker (2.0) right up to full DTS-HD High resolution 7.1 channel system. You will be asked to select the Channel mode for the selected option. These options will
vary depending on what equipment you may have connected to the player via the HDMI cable. The BLU-BD1000 may automatically detect an HDMI connected Home Theatre System and select the number and type of audio channels available
Here is a basic diagram of Home Theatre speaker layouts.
F= Front Left and Right Speakers SW= Sub Woofer: (1 or 2) C= Centre: Voice channel S= Surround Speakers left and right SR= Surround Rear Speaker left and right RC= Rear Centre Speaker
2.1 F + SW 5.1 F + C + SW + SR
3.1 F + SW + C 6.1 F + C + SW + SR + RC
4.1 F + SR + SW 7.1 F + C + SW + S + SR
6.1 & 7.1 through HDMI only
The Audio configuration should be used in conjunction with the documentation for your Home Theatre or speaker setup. This documentation will show the best position, angle and distance for each speaker.
The Speaker settings in the Audio setup allow you to fine tune the audio and set the size trim and delay for individual speakers as they are placed in the room.
A test sound is also available to help set the position of the speakers in relation to your viewing position.

Note: If you use HDMI to connect audio to an HDMI A/V receiver or audio processor, it is important that you choose 720p or higher HDMI output resolution when playing high resolution audio content (DVD-Audio, SACD, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio). According to the HDMI specification, the bandwidth available for audio is proportional to the total bandwidth used by video. At 480p/576p resolution, the HDMI specification can only support 2 channels of audio with high sample rate (up to 192kHz) or 8 channels of audio with standard sample rate (up to 48kHz). If you play high resolution audio content at the 480p/576p resolution, you may get reduced audio resolution, incomplete audio channels, or even no audio/video output at all. Choosing a higher output resolution such as 720p or above allows enough bandwidth for all high sample rate audio channels.
