Precautions
• Before connecting the AC power cord to the appliance, make sure the voltage designation of the appliance corresponds to the local electrical supply. If you are unsure of your power supply, contact your local power company. The acceptable power input range is AC ~ 100V-240V, 50/60Hz.
• The player is still receiving power from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the player itself has been turned off.
• Unplug the power cord if you are not going to use the product for an extended period of time. Hold the power plug when unplugging. Do not pull on the cord.
• The main plug is used as the mechanism for cutting off power; therefore, make sure it is easy to unplug.
• To ensure proper ventilation around this product, do not place this product on a sofa, bed or rug. When installing this product on a wall or bookshelf, you need to provide appropriate space.
• High temperature will lead to abnormal operation of this unit. Do not expose this unit or batteries to direct sunlight or near other heating objects.
• When moving the player from a cold location to a warm one, or vice versa, moisture may condense on the laser pickup unit inside the player. Should this occur, the player may not operate properly. In such a case please turn the unit on for 1-2 hours (without a disc) to facilitate moisture evaporation.

Disc care and handling
• To keep the disc clean from scratches or fingerprints, handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the recording surface.
• Blu-ray Discs record data in very high density and the record layer is very close to the disc surface. For this reason, Blu-ray Discs are more sensitive to dust and fingerprints than DVD. Should you encounter playback problems and see dirty spots on the disc surface, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out along the radial direction. Do not wipe the disc in a circular motion.
• Do not use record cleaning sprays or solvents such as benzene, thinner and anti-static spray.
• Do not attach labels or stickers to discs as this may cause the disc to warp, become imbalanced or too thick, resulting in playback problems.
• Avoid exposing the discs to direct sunlight or heat sources.
• Do not use the following discs:
– Discs with exposed adhesive from removed stickers or labels. The disc may
get stuck inside the player. – Warped or cracked discs. – Irregularly shaped discs, such as heart or business card shapes.

Setting the Remote Code
The remote control supports one of three remote codes. The default is “Code 1”. If you have other Lexicon products placed close to the BD-30, they may inadvertently respond to the BD-30 remote control. In this case you can select a different remote code to avoid conflicts.
To select a new remote code, open the battery compartment cover of the remote control, and then use a ballpoint pen to flip the switch to one of the positions marked as “1”, “2”, or “3”. Close the battery compartment cover. Make sure that the BD-30 player is turned on and the disc tray is ejected. Aim the remote control at the player. Press and hold the ENTER button for 5 seconds. The player will start using the new remote code.
Cautions
• Never drop the remote control or expose it to moisture.
• Never expose the infrared remote sensor on the front panel to direct sunlight or other strong light sources.
• Remote may not operate consistently when batteries become low. Replace them if operation deteriorates.
• If the remote control will not be used for a long time, please remove the batteries.
• Use the batteries correctly to avoid possible leakage and corrosion. Do not leave the batteries exposed to direct sunlight or high­temperature environment for a long period of time. Do not heat or expose to flame. Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not use batteries of different types at the same time. Do not attempt to recharge the batteries.
• In case battery leakage occurs, do not touch the liquid with bare hands. Wipe out any liquid inside the battery compartment, and insert new batteries.

Composite Video Cable (Optional)
HDMI Cable
Method 1 – HDMI Connection Directly to TV
• If your TV has an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) input, you can use the included HDMI cable to connect the player to the TV. This connection method delivers both video and audio in a pure digital format via a single cable. The HDMI video output of the player allows for the highest possible video quality and resolution.
• You may connect the composite video cable to the TV for troubleshooting purposes, just in case there is a problem with HDMI. However, it is not recommended to use the composite video as the primary method of video delivery to the TV, because it only produces a standard definition video signal and forfeits the advantage of high definition video.
13
Installation
Lexicon
DVI Connection
Method 2 – DVI Connection to TV
• If your TV has a DVI input that supports HDCP*, you can purchase an HDMI-DVI adapter cable to connect the player to the TV. This connection method delivers digital video to the TV without any signal degradation. The HDMI video output of the Lexicon Blu-ray Disc Player presents the highest possible video quality and resolution.
• Please use the Red/White audio cables to connect the STEREO AUDIO OUT terminals of the player to the TV. Make sure the audio cables are connected to the same input terminal group on the TV as the DVI input. Usually the input terminals are marked as “DVI Audio” or “PC Audio”. On some TVs you may need to use an RCA-3.5mm Mini-Jack adapter cable to connect the audio.
• You may connect the composite video cable to the TV for trouble-shooting purpose, just in case there is a problem with DVI. However, it is not recommended to use the composite video as the primary method of video delivery to the TV, because it only produces a standard definition video signal and forfeits the advantage of high definition video.
*Note
HDCP stands for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. The HDMI output of the Lexicon Blu-ray Disc Player uses HDCP to encrypt the digital audio and video content. The TV needs to support HDCP so it can decrypt the content and properly display it.

Method 3 – Component Video Connection to TV
• If your TV has no digital video input but has component video inputs, please use a set of component video cables to connect the
component video output of the player to the TV. The connectors are color coded, so please make sure the cable connections match on both ends. The component video connection will produce a very clear picture with high color accuracy.
• Please use the Red/White audio cables to connect the STEREO AUDIO OUT terminals of the player to the TV. Make sure the audio cables
are connected to the same input terminal group on the TV as the chosen component video input.
• When the “Primary Output” Setup Menu item in the “Video Setup” section is set to “HDMI” (see page 53 for details), the component
video connection will not output video when playing a Blu-ray Disc with 1080p 24Hz content, or will only output video with a low resolution (480i/576i) when playing a DVD. This is not a malfunction. You must set “Primary Output” to “Component” in order to properly use the component video connection.
• When playing a Blu-ray Disc, video resolution over the component output can be up to 1080i. 1080p content will be interlaced into
1080i signal for the component output.
• When the “Primary Output” is set to “Component,” the output resolution “Auto” is not supported.
• Video up-conversion over the component output is only available for unencrypted discs such as home video and consumer-created
contents. Most commercially pressed DVD discs are CSSencrypted and will be limited to 480i/480p resolution. This restriction applies to the component output only. The HDMI output is protected with HDCP and has no such restriction.
• You may connect the composite video cable to the TV for trouble-shooting purpose, just in case there is a problem with component
video. However, it is not recommended to use the composite video as the primary method of video delivery to the TV, because it only produces a standard definition video signal and forfeits the advantage of high definition video.

Method 4 – HDMI Connection to Receiver/Processor and TV
• HDMI can transmit both audio and video signals over a single cable. If you have an HDMIcapable 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.
Note
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.

Select the Best Output Resolution
One of the major advantages of the Lexicon Blu-Ray Disc Player is its ability to play high-definition Blu-Ray video and also up-convert standard definition video stored on DVD discs to high definition. The sophisticated video processor inside the player ensures that the video will have the best possible color, detail and motion. The player offers several standard and high definition video output resolutions. To get the best visual result, it is important to select an output resolution that best matches your TV or display device.
The rule of thumb when selecting an output resolution is to match the “native resolution” of your TV or display device as closely as possible. The “native resolution” is the resolution of the actual display component in the TV, such as the Plasma panel, LCD panel, or DLP™ chip. The TV may accept input signals with lower or higher resolutions than its native resolution. In such cases the electronics in the TV will up-scale or downscale the video to fit its display component. Unfortunately many TVs on the market only do an average job scaling the video. On the other hand, if you set the Lexicon Blu-ray Disc Player to output a resolution that matches or is very close to the native resolution of the TV, you are more likely to get a great picture.
For the latest generation of 1080p, “Full HD” or “True HD” displays, the best output resolution will naturally be 1080p. (A few early model 1080p displays do not accept 1080p signal. For these displays the best output resolution to use is 1080i.) For all other digital televisions this will likely be 720p. For CRT tube or rear projection televisions this will likely be 1080i. For EDTV displays (very rare if they have HDMI or DVI) this will be 480p. These are general recommendations that work for most users, but there can be exceptions. Advanced users may want to try all supported resolutions and choose the one that provides the best visual result.
The Lexicon Blu-ray Disc Player supports a special “Source Direct” output resolution on its HDMI output. This resolution is recommended for use with external video processors or high-end TVs. In “Source Direct” mode, the player works as a “transport”. It
decodes video from the discs and then sends the raw video signal in its native resolution and format, without extra processing, to the external video processor or TV. The actual output resolution varies by content:
Content Source Direct Output Resolution
NTSC DVD 480i
PAL DVD 576i
Most Blu-ray Movies (film-source) 1080p 23.976Hz or 1080p 24Hz
Most Blu-ray TV shows or Concerts (video-source)
SACD 1080i
1080i
Depending on your selection of “Primary Video Output”, the available output resolution selections will differ. For the HDMI output, the following output resolutions are available: Auto, 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p/576p, 480i/576i, and Source Direct. If “Auto” is selected, the player will determine its output resolution based on the best signal resolution that the TV can display.
Easy Setup
Step: 3/6
Choose the output resolution which best matches your TV.
Change will be applied immediately. You will have 15 seconds to either save the new setting or rollback to the previous output resolution.

• Video up-conversion over the component output is only available for unencrypted discs such as home video and consumer-created contents. Most commercially pressed DVD discs are CSS-encrypted and will be limited to 480i/480p resolution. This restriction applies to the component output only. The HDMI output is protected with HDCP and has no such restriction.
Determine the Display Aspect Ratio
Standard Definition, or 4:3 TV Wide Screen, or 16:9 TV
The aspect ratio is the proportional ratio of a TV screen’s width and height. Older television sets generally have a 4:3 aspect ratio – the width is 4/3 (or 1.33) times the height. Newer wide screen television sets have a 16:9 aspect ratio – the width is 16/9 (or
1.78) times the height. For best performance, the video output
of your player needs to match the screen aspect ratio of your TV. Since almost all Blu-ray Discs and many DVD discs are released in the wide screen format, it is highly recommended that you use a wide screen TV with the player.
The Aspect Ratio selections are 4:3 Letterbox, 4:3 Pan & Scan, 16:9 Wide, and 16:9 Wide/Auto. Depending on your selection and the video format recorded on the discs, image appearance on the TV screen can be one of the following:

Note
• Some TV sets do not support one or more output resolutions (particularly 1080p). If an incompatible output resolution is selected, you will get a blank screen or an error message. In this case please select an output resolution that is supported by the TV.
• In case you are not able to get a picture using the HDMI or component output, please connect the player to the TV using the composite video output, then use the Setup Menu to adjust the player settings.
• Video up-conversion over the component output is only available for unencrypted discs such as home video and consumer-created contents. Most commercially pressed DVD discs are CSS-encrypted and will be limited to 480i/480p resolution. This restriction applies to the component output only. The HDMI output is protected with HDCP and has no such restriction.
Zoom Levels for HDMI Output
The following zoom levels are available when “Primary Output” is set to “HDMI”:
1:1 (No zooming) → Stretch/Letterbox/Pillar Box → Full Screen
→ Under Scan → 1.2 → 1.3 → 1.5 → 2.0 → ½ → Back to 1:1 again
The zoom level is reset to 1:1 when the disc is ejected, or when the player is turned off.
The available zoom levels depend on the “TV Aspect Ratio” setting in the Setup Menu and the aspect ratio of the DVD or Blu-ray Disc. The following zoom levels may be useful for some special applications:
1) Playing 16:9 BD or DVD when “TV Aspect Ratio” is set to “16:9 Wide” or “16:9 Wide/Auto”
• Stretch – The image is vertically stretched by 1.33 times. For movies with 2.35:1 aspect ratio, this zoom level cuts off the black borders at the top and bottom of the image. Users of projector with anamorphic lens may find this mode helpful.

Setup Menu Options
Lexicon
The Setup Menu of the Lexicon Blu-ray Disc Player presents many setup and configuration options. For most users, the default configuration will be sufficient and will not require any changes to the settings. However, if you need to configure the player to perfectly match your home theater settings and viewing preferences, please refer to the following sections for details about each configuration option.
Using the Setup Menu System
In many places of this guide, the player’s Setup Menu needs to be adjusted to match your specific audio/video configuration. When performing menu adjustments, we will use the following terminology to indicate the location of the desired function:
Setup Menu Section > Menu Item > Selection
Setup Menu Section is the uppermost Setup Menu level. With the Lexicon BD-30 there are six (6) Setup Menu sections listed in the left column of the Setup Menu screen. They are: Playback Setup,
Video Setup, Audio Format Setup, Audio Processing, Device Setup, and Network Setup.
Menu Item is the parameter to be adjusted which appears in the center column of the Setup Menu. Once you enter a Setup Menu Section, the list of Menu Items and their current value are
displayed in a box.
Selection is the actual numeric or descriptive element that represents the change being made to the selected parameter. It is the item located to the right of its corresponding Menu Item.
A Scroll Icon appears at the top or bottom of the menu when there are more Menu Items or Selections than what can fit in a screen. You may use the UP and DOWN ARROW buttons to scroll the display in order to access additional items.
The preceding diagram should give a good description of the various elements and their context. In this screen we could, for
example, instruct you to set the PIP Mark parameter to Off in the Playback Setup section. To indicate where we were, you would see the following: Playback Setup > PIP Mark > Off.

Note
It is possible that some setup items are grayed-out and inaccessible. This can be caused by disc still being played back or interlocking with mutually exclusive setup items. Please stop playback or eject the disc before trying to change these setup items. If you still cannot access the setup item, please check for configuration conflicts and consistency. For example, if “Video Setup > 1080p24 Output” is set to “Off”, the “DVD 24p Conversion” menu item will be grayed-out. Setting “1080p24 Output” to “On” will enable the “DVD 24p Conversion” setting.
To access the player’s Setup Menu, simply press the SETUP button on the remote control. Since some Setup Menu options can become inaccessible when the player is playing a disc, it is

Note
Copyright control mechanisms encoded on the disc may limit the output resolution of the component video output. For DVD, if CSS encryption is in use, the output resolution is limited to no more than 480p/576p; for Blu-ray Discs, the output resolution is limited to no more than 1080i, and could be lower if the disc contains the Image Constraint Token.
3. TV Aspect Ratio: To set the aspect ratio of the player’s output image. The options are :
• 4:3 Letterbox – Choose this when the display is standard
4:3. A widescreen image is displayed in “letterbox” format with black borders on top and bottom.
• 4:3 Pan & Scan – Choose this when the display is standard
4:3. A widescreen image will be stretched.
• 16:9 Wide – Choose this when the display is widescreen
16:9. 16:9 materials will be displayed in its native aspect ratio, and 4:3 materials will be stretched horizontally.
• 16:9 Wide/Auto – Choose this when the display is
widescreen 16:9. 16:9 materials will be displayed in its native aspect ratio, and 4:3 materials will be displayed with black borders on both sides in order to maintain the original 4:3 aspect ratio.
For a detailed description on how to choose a proper TV
Aspect Ratio, please refer to the Determine the Display Aspect Ratio section on page 24 of this manual.
4. TV System: To choose the output video system or broadcast standard (PAL/NTSC) to match the type of TV. The options are:
• NTSC (default) – When playing NTSC-encoded discs, no
system conversion is performed. PAL-encoded contents are converted to NTSC output. Blu-ray Discs encoded with 24Hz frame rate are converted to 60Hz frame rate if neither 1080p24 Output nor Source Direct output
resolution is enabled.
• PAL – When playing PAL-encoded discs, no system conversion is performed. NTSC-encoded contents are converted to PAL output. Blu-ray Discs encoded with 24Hz frame rate are converted to 50Hz frame rate if neither 1080p24 Output nor Source Direct output resolution is enabled.
• Multi-system – No system conversion is performed. The output video system is the same as that encoded on the disc. Blu-ray Discs encoded with 24Hz frame rate are converted to 60Hz frame rate if neither 1080p24 Output nor Source Direct output resolution is enabled. Requires a TV that supports both NTSC and PAL systems.
Note
Do not select “Multi-system” if your TV does not support both NTSC and PAL systems. The TV display may become a black screen upon inserting a disc encoded in a different system than your TV supports. Should this happen, you can press the OPEN button to eject the disc tray, and then use the Setup Menu to correct the “TV System” setting.
5. Output Resolution: To choose the output resolution that
best matches your television’s native resolution. For a detailed description on how to choose a proper output resolution, please refer to the Select the Best Output Resolution section on page 23 of this manual.
6. 1080p24 Output: To set 1080p 24Hz output options. 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 1080p24 Output for such discs. The available options are:
• Auto (default) – Video encoded in 24Hz frame rate will be output as 1080p 24Hz if the TV informs the player that it can support the 1080p24 signal.
54
BD-30 Blu-ray Disc Player
Setup Menu Options
• 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. This is useful if the TV can actually support 1080p24 but does not properly state its capability. Please note that if the TV cannot support 1080p24, selecting this option will result in no video.
• Off – Video encoded in 24Hz frame rate will be converted to 60Hz (NTSC) or 50Hz (PAL).
7. DVD 24p Conversion: To set 24Hz frame rate conversion
for DVD. This option only applies to the HDMI output and is available only when 1080p24 Output is enabled (set to Auto or On). Many DVDs that originated from theatrical movies are encoded using a method called “3:2 telecine” to convert the 24 frames per second film to 60Hz video signal. The player can convert the 60Hz video signal back to 24 frames per second and output as 1080p 24Hz. Smoother motion can be achieved by enabling this option, provided that the TV and the disc both meet the conditions for the conversion. The available options are:
• On – Convert DVD to 24Hz frame rate when possible.
• Off – Do not convert DVD to 24Hz frame rate.
Note
The result of DVD 24p Conversion depends heavily on the quality of the content. If the video encoded on the DVD contains incorrect 3:2 cadence, cadence breaks caused by edits, or heavy compression noise that can affect cadence detection, the result may have motion judder or frame tearing. Should this happen, you need to turn off DVD 24p Conversion and watch the DVD in its original frame rate.
8. HDMI Options: To configure video options that are unique
to the HDMI output. This item contains a sub-menu with the following settings:
• De-interlacing Mode – To select the type of de-interlacing algorithm that the player should use to convert interlaced video on a DVD or Blu-ray Disc to progressive output. The Lexicon BD-30 utilizes the Precision De-interlacing™
technology from VRS™ (Video Reference Series) by Anchor Bay for its HDMI output. A proper de-interlacing mode will ensure the output video matches the original contents and is free of de-interlacing artifacts. The available options are:
• Auto – Source adaptive de-interlacing is on. This is the recommended setting as it sets the player to optimally process a variety of signal types.
• Film Bias Mode – The Film Bias Mode may improve film mode detection in some cases.
• Video Mode – Turn off film mode detection and treat all contents as video origin. Deinterlacing is done by weaving two video fields into a video frame. Use this setting if you are certain the disc is made from footage originally shot with a video camera, and not with a film camera.
• 2:2 Even – This mode should be used when you know that the source is high-quality 2:2 pull-down (i.e., film-based content played back in a country with a 50Hz video standard) and you want to avoid any loss of cadence lock while watching that source. This mode weaves two adjacent fields together, starting with an even field and combining it with the following odd field. This will provide a higher quality overall signal than the ‘Auto’ or ‘Film Bias Mode’ settings, providing that the source really is a 2:2 pull-down and does not have bad edits.
• 2:2 Odd – This mode is very similar to “2:2 Even” except that this weaves two adjacent fields together starting with an odd field and combining it with the following even field. Only one of the 2:2 de-interlacing settings is correct for any given source and the correct mode can be chosen by simply trying both of them and selecting the one which does not result in combing artifacts.
• CUE-Correction – To select whether the player should
apply chroma filtering to remove Chroma Up-sampling
55
Setup Menu Options
Lexicon
Errors (CUE) and Interlaced Chroma Problem (ICP). CUE is caused by improper decoding and de-interlacing of MPEG encoded video. The Lexicon BD-30 is free of the CUE problem. ICP is caused by the encoding process for interlaced video, so you may encounter it on some DVD and Blu-ray Discs. The CUE-Correction function can detect and filter out the errors. The available options are:
• Auto (Recommended) – Automatic chroma error detection and correction. Use this setting when you are not sure if the disc has chroma errors.
• On – Chroma filtering is always on. Use this setting if the disc is known to have chroma errors.
• Off – No chroma filtering is applied. Use this setting if the disc does not have chroma errors.
• Color Space – To select the color space for the HDMI
output. The available options are:
• Auto (Recommended) – The player checks with the display device to automatically determine what color space to use. If the display device supports YCbCr 4:4:4, then it will be used to avoid extra color space conversion.
• RGB Video Level – The HDMI output uses RGB color space and normal signal range suitable for video displays.
• RGB PC Level – The HDMI output uses RGB color space and expands the signal range. The expanded signal range is suitable for personal computer (PC) displays. Some TVs are designed to be used as a PC monitor, and expect signal in expanded RGB range when the DVI input is selected. For these displays if the video signal uses the normal RGB range, the black-white contrast will be reduced. You can set the player to use the RGB PC Level output and restore proper contrast.
• YCbCr 4:4:4 – The HDMI output uses YCbCr 4:4:4 color space.
• YCbCr 4:2:2 – The HDMI output uses YCbCr 4:2:2 color space. Generally this is the color space that is closest to the color space encoded on the discs. (All discs are encoded in YCbCr 4:2:0 color space, and the video decoder decodes it into YCbCr 4:2:2.)
• HDMI Deep Color – Deep Color 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 Color is supported, each pixel of the video image can be transmitted using 30-bit (10-bit per channel) or 36-bit (12-bit per channel) data. The increased bit depth should result in smoother color transitions and better gradients. The available options are:
• 30 Bits – Use the 30-bit per pixel Deep Color mode.
• 36 Bits – Use the 36-bit per pixel Deep Color mode.
• Off – Do not use Deep Color.
Note
Since the Deep Color feature is OPTIONAL and may not be supported by all TVs, enabling Deep Color while connected to a TV without this feature may result in no effect or no video.
At this time, no disc is encoded with Deep Color. Enabling Deep Color will not magically make colors richer, but will help preserve the maximum precision as a result of video processing and picture control adjustment.
• Demo Mode – To enable a special split-screen
demonstration mode. This is designed for the demonstration of VRS
™
video processing technology. It can also be used as an aid for setting picture control adjustments for Detail Enhancement, Edge Enhancement and Noise Reduction. It should NOT be used for normal movie watching. The available options are:

• Off – Normal viewing mode.
• A/V Sync – To add a delay to the HDMI audio output. If you experience an audio/video synchronization problem, you may use this option to add a slight delay to the audio so it is synchronized to the video.
• Use the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons to highlight the A/V Sync menu item. Press the ENTER button.
• Press the LEFT/RIGHT ARROW buttons to adjust delay. The audio delay can be adjusted in 10ms steps.
• Press the ENTER button to confirm the new A/V Sync setting and return to the Audio Processing Setup Menu.
9. Screen Saver: To turn on/off the screen saver function. The
screen saver is designed to minimize burn-in concerns for plasma and CRT display devices. The available options are:
• On – After about 3 minutes of inactivity, the player will show an animated Lexicon logo moving on a black background. This allows most areas of the screen to rest and gives all areas an equal opportunity to refresh.
• Off – The screen saver will not be activated. Use this option if your TV does not have a burn-in issue.
• Energy Saver – Video output will be turned off after 3 minutes of inactivity. Many projectors and LCD TVs will go into a standby or sleep mode and turn off their projection lamp or LCD backlight lamp, thus saving energy and prolonging the lamp life. When you press any button on the Lexicon remote control or the player’s front panel, the screen saver will be cancelled and video output will be restored. If your TV is already in standby or sleep mode, you may need to wake up the TV by pressing a button on its remote or control panel.
Picture Adjustment
Picture Adjustment is a special section of the Video Setup menu. It allows you to fine-tune many picture control parameters in order to achieve the optimal picture quality and visual result.

The following picture adjustment controls are available:
1. Brightness: To adjust the brightness (black level) of the video output.
2. Contrast: To adjust the contrast (white level) of the video output.
Note
Proper brightness and contrast settings are necessary for a quality video output. If you do not have the correct black and white levels, your images can appear washed out or can lose detail in shadows when watching darker scenes. Televisions have brightness (black level) and contrast (white level) controls; however, it may require a combination of tweaking both the player and your television to get the optimal result. We recommend using a calibration disc such as Digital Video Essentials HD Basics as aids for adjusting. First adjust the television’s picture controls for the best possible picture. Once that is done, try changing the player’s settings to further refine the picture to the optimal result.
3. Hue: To adjust the hue (tint) of the video output. This control only applies to analog video output (component and composite).
4. Saturation: To adjust the saturation (color intensity level) of the video output.
5. Detail Enhancement (Sharpness): To set the sharpness of video output. Detail enhancement level can be set between
-16 and +16. The default is level 0. Level 0 turns off detail enhancement. The negative levels may be used to reduce or eliminate overly sharpened video; however, the picture may
appear soft. The positive levels increase the enhancement. The higher the level, the sharper the video details are. However, too high a sharpness level may cause white line etching around objects. Detail Enhancement can be used together with Edge Enhancement to achieve an optimal result.
6. Edge Enhancement (Edge-Qualified Sharpness): To set the sharpness of object edges in the video. Edge enhancement level can be set between -16 and +16. The default is level 0. Level 0 turns off edge enhancement. The negative levels reduce the sharpness of object edges. The positive levels sharpen object edges. Edge Enhancement can be used together with Detail Enhancement to achieve an optimal result.
Detail Enhancement and Edge Enhancement produce similar
results, but there are subtle differences. Detail Enhancement works best when the source material is “clean” and free from noise. Edge Enhancement works well for less pristine sources. It produces a sharpening effect without making noise more visible.
It is also possible to adjust these two controls in different
directions to achieve optimal results from certain “difficult” materials. You may use Detail Enhancement to bring up detail in the entire image but, if you find that object edges are over enhanced, you can apply negative Edge Enhancement to reduce the over-enhancement of the edges.
Sharpness (Detail/Edge Enhancement) is a video processing
function that can produce a sharper-looking picture but at the same time may cause unwanted artifacts. The Lexicon BD-30 Blu-ray Disc Player utilizes the fine detail and edge enhancement technology from VRS™ (Video Reference Series) by Anchor Bay for its HDMI output. This technology provides fine control to achieve an optimal balance between enhancing sharpness and minimizing unwanted artifacts. If the source content is properly produced, we generally recommend leaving these controls at level 0.

Setup Menu Options
7. Noise Reduction: To select whether the player shall apply video noise reduction processing. Noise reduction levels can be set between 0 and 8. The default is level 0, which turns off noise reduction. When set to a smaller positive level, the player adjusts the picture quality by reducing the “mosquito noise” (artifacts around the outlines of objects). When set to a high level between 6 and 8, the player also uses detail and edge enhancement controls to reduce “block noise” (mosaic­like patterns caused by video compression) and “film grain noise” (natural variation of picture intensity caused by film grain). Excessive noise reduction may cause a loss of details. We recommend using the noise reduction function only when you encounter poorly encoded or compressed video that has apparent noise artifacts.
8. Y/C Delay: To adjust the time difference between the Luminance (Y) and Chrominance (Pb/Pr or Cb/Cr) channels of the video signal. When there is a significant lag between the channels, the image will look “smeared” because the color component is not lining up properly to the black and white luminance component. Adjust the Y/C delay setting only when the TV or projector has a Y/C delay problem. For a display device that normally does not have Y/C alignment problems, keep the Y/C delay setting at its default level of 0. The Y/C delay setting applies to the HDMI output only.
9. Border Level: To set the brightness level of the border area when borders are inserted by the player to maintain correct aspect ratio. The default level is 0, which corresponds to total black. If you set it to a positive level, the bars gradually become lighter grey instead of black. This setting may be useful for users with Plasma or CRT TVs that are sensitive to “burn-in”. A grey border setting allows the phosphor in the bar area to be moderately used, and can alleviate the burn-in problem. The Border Level setting only applies to the HDMI output, and only affects borders inserted by the player. If the borders are encoded in the original video, the border brightness level will not be affected by this setting.

2. HDMI Audio: To select digital audio output format from the HDMI port. The options are:
• LPCM – Digital audio output via HDMI will be multi-
channel Linear PCM format. When this option is selected, compressed audio bit streams will be decoded by the player. This setting is recommended when connecting the HDMI output directly to a TV or to a receiver without advanced audio decoding capabilities.
• Bitstream – Digital audio output via HDMI will be in
bitstream format. This option is recommended when connecting the HDMI output to an A/V receiver or processor that supports advanced audio decoding, such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.
• Off – No digital audio output via HDMI.
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 (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.
3. SACD Output: To select audio output format for SACD. The options are:
• PCM – SACD Direct Stream Digital (DSD) data is
converted into multi-channel, high resolution PCM data. The converted PCM data is then output through HDMI or the internal DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) for
the analog audio output ports. If you use a receiver that supports HDMI v1.1 to listen to SACD, please select this option. You may also want to select this option if you prefer the sound quality of the DSD-to-PCM conversion.
• DSD – SACD DSD data is output over HDMI without any conversion. For the analog audio outputs, DSD data is converted into analog signal directly by the internal DAC. If you use a receiver that supports HDMI v1.2a with DSD over HDMI, or you prefer the sound quality of straight DSD to analog, please select this option.
4. Coaxial/Optical Output: To set the output format for the
coaxial/optical digital audio output for use with Dolby Digital and DTS-compatible receivers. The options are:
• LPCM – Forces down-mixed 2-channel digital audio output. Choose this setting if your receiver/amplifier only supports stereo digital (PCM) audio.
• Bitstream – Passes audio as compressed bitstream format to the receiver/amplifier. Choose this setting if your receiver/amplifier is capable of decoding Dolby Digital and/or DTS.
5. LPCM Rate Limit: To set the maximum Linear PCM output
frequency for the coaxial/optical digital output. This menu item is intended to ensure that the audio output is compatible with equipment that cannot support high sample rates. It sets an upper limit to decide whether the player shall down-sample audio. The player does not up-sample audio to higher sample rates. The options are:
• 48K – Supported by most equipment.
• 96K – Allows a higher sampling rate and frequency response. It can result in better audio quality. Ensure that the receiver/amplifier can support it.
• 192K – Allows the highest sampling rate and frequency response. It can result in the best audio quality. Ensure that the receiver/amplifier can support it.

Note
Speaker Configuration applies to the multi-channel analog audio outputs only. All digital bitstream and LPCM outputs are unaffected by these settings.
Down Mix Mode
Down mix is the process of converting multi-channel audio to a lesser number of channels. For example, converting a 5.1ch source to stereo or converting a 7.1ch source to 5.1ch. Down mixing allows the audio output from the player to match the exact number of speakers available in your home theater.
The current down mix mode is displayed in the lower right corner of the speaker placement illustration. To change the audio down mix setting, press the ENTER button while the cursor is over the “Down Mix” option. The following down mix modes are available:

Down Mix Mode: 7.1Ch
• LT/RT – Left Total/Right Total. The center and surround channels are mixed into the two front channels according to the LT/RT matrix. A Dolby Pro Logic receiver will decode the two-channel audio into surround audio.
• Stereo – This mode down-mixes multi-channel audio to 2-channel stereo output. For original stereo content the output will not change. For original multi-channel content the surround and center channels will be mixed with the left and right front channels. Recommended for use with TV sets or stereo receiver/amplifiers.
• 5.1Ch – This mode enables 5.1ch decoded audio output. The number of actual output channels depends on the disc. If the source content has more channels, the surround back channels will be mixed into the surround channels.
• 7.1Ch – This mode enables 7.1ch decoded audio output. The number of actual output channels depends on the disc. For
6.1ch contents, the left and right surround back speakers will both output the same surround back audio channel.

• Small – Bass frequencies are not passed to the speakers to reduce possible distortion. If the subwoofer is available, bass frequencies are redirected to the subwoofer.
• On (for subwoofer only) – Specify that a subwoofer is available.
• Off – Speaker for the corresponding position does not exist. Audio for the missing speaker is redirected to other speakers or discarded if redirection is not possible.
Note
The front, surround and surround back speakers are configured as pairs. Changes to the size of one speaker will automatically change the other speaker of the pair.
2. Distance: The speaker distance parameter sets delay
control for the corresponding audio channel. The delay is to compensate for the audio propagation time difference caused by the placement of speakers.
Speaker distance compensation is not required if the A/V
receiver or processor has the capability to adjust channel delay and compensate for speaker distance differences. However, if your receiver does not have such functions (most receivers do not offer these functions for their multi-channel analog input), you may adjust them through the player. Speaker distance delay is only applied if the player is decoding multi-channel audio. If you use bitstream audio output to your A/V receiver or processor, the bitstream audio is not adjusted for speaker distance delay.
Since the delay is calculated based on the distance difference
from each speaker to the listener’s position, it is important to set the distance for the front speakers first and then the other speakers. Anytime you change the distance of the front speakers, the distance of the other speakers will be automatically adjusted to maintain the same distance difference.

For example, in the above diagram, measure the distance (in feet) from the primary listening position to the Front Left or Front Right Speaker. Your Front Right and Left speakers should measure the same distance. If they do not, please adjust them if possible. Enter the distance of the Front Speakers (1 in the above picture) into the “Speaker Configuration” menu.
Next, measure the distance (in feet) from center speaker (2) to the listening position. Move the cursor to highlight the Center speaker in the Channel Delay setup page, and enter the distance (as close as possible) in feet. Repeat for each speaker in the system (Center, Left Surround, Right Surround, Left Surround Back, Right Surround Back and Subwoofer) as available. The player will insert appropriate delay to the center, subwoofer and surround channels to make sure sound waves from different speakers arrive at the listener at the same time.
Distance between the surround speakers and the listener must be shorter than or equal to that between the front speakers and the listener.
In case the channel delay settings cannot match your speaker configuration, please set all distances to the same and use your receiver/amplifier to set the channel delay.
Note
The front, surround and surround back speakers are configured as pairs. Changes to the distance of one speaker will automatically change the other speaker of the pair.
Example Channel Delay Adjustment:

3. Trim Level: The speaker trim level parameter sets the volume of each individual channel. Channel trim is generally not required since most A/V receivers and processors have the capability to adjust channel trim and compensate for speaker sensitivity differences. However, if your receiver or processor does not have such functions (many receivers do not support
channel trim for their multi-channel analog inputs), you may adjust channel trim through the player. For most accurate results, it is recommended that you use test tones from a calibration disc, such as Digital Video Essentials HD Basics, and a SPL (Sound Pressure Level) meter. The trim level can be set to +/- 10dB in 0.5dB increments.
Other Audio Processing Settings
In addition to Speaker Configuration, two other audio processing settings are available:
1. Dolby Pro Logic II: Dolby Pro Logic II processing can expand 2-channel source audio into full 5-channel surround sound. Note: Pro Logic II functionality is effective only when Speaker Configuration > Down Mix Mode is set to “5.1Ch” or “7.1Ch”. The available options are:
• Music – The surround experience is tailored for multi-
channel music playback.
• Movie – Emphasis is given to the center channel as two-
channel audio is decoded and played back into your 5.1 system.
• Off – No Dolby Pro Logic II processing.
2. Dynamic Range Control: To set the Dynamic Range Compression (DRC). DRC can smooth out the sonic peaks and valleys common with wide-range digital audio. Enabling DRC may make low-level audio more audible during low-level listening. Turning off DRC restores the sonic energy present in the original recording. The available options are:
• Auto – Play at the dynamic range specified by the disc.
This option applies to Blu-ray Discs only. For other disc types no dynamic range compression is applied.
• On – Turn on dynamic range compression.
• Off – Turn off dynamic range compression.

front panel display still maintains the selected display information.
3. Remote Control Code: The Lexicon BD-30 Blu-ray Disc Player can respond to one of 4 sets of remote control codes. The default is “Code 1”. If you have other products placed close to the BD-30, the other products may respond to the BD-30 that are causing interference, you can select a different remote code to avoid conflicts.
If you have selected a new remote code, you must set the
remote control handset to use the same code. Please refer to the Setting the Remote Code section on page 12 of this manual for details. If you have selected “Alt. Code”, the supplied handset will not operate the player, and you must use a universal remote control with the properly configured code set.
4. HDMI CEC: To set HDMI Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) mode. CEC is an optional HDMI feature that enables convenient remote control and automatic setup of consumer electronics over the HDMI connection. The remote control function allows you to use a single remote handset to operate multiple devices connected via HDMI. For example, you may use the TV remote to control playback of the Blu-ray Disc Player. The automatic setup function can automatically turn on the TV and change to the proper input when you start playing a disc in the Blu-ray Disc Player. It can also turn off the player automatically when you turn off the TV. The implementation and compatibility of this feature varies by device manufacturer. Each may only implement part of the features or add their own proprietary functions. The manufacturer-specific implementation of the HDMI CEC function is often given a proprietary name of “…Link” or “…Sync”. The Lexicon BD-30 Blu-ray Disc Player provides three modes for the HDMI CEC function:
• On – HDMI CEC is enabled. Use this mode if your other
devices are compatible with the player.
68

• Off – HDMI CEC feature is turned off. The player will not respond to HDMI CEC commands from other devices, nor will it set up other devices automatically.
5. Reset Factory Default: To reset all settings to the factory
default value. The remote control code, parental control password and ratings will not be reset. This operation is only available when the playback is completely stopped or when there is no disc loaded.
6. Firmware Upgrade: To upgrade the player’s firmware. This
operation is only available when the playback is completely stopped or when there is no disc loaded.
The firmware is the system software that controls the
features and functions of the player. Since the Blu-ray Disc specifications are new and evolving, it is possible that a Blu-ray disc manufactured after the player was manufactured uses certain new features of the Blu-ray Disc specifications. To ensure the best possible viewing experience, the player may need a firmware update from time to time. Please visit Lexicon’s web site www.Lexicon.com to check for firmware updates and instructions on installing the updates.
There are three ways to upgrade the player’s firmware. The
options are:
• Via Disc – You may request a firmware upgrade disc or download a disc image from Lexicon’s web site and burn an upgrade disc. Please follow the instructions that come with the upgrade disc.
• Via USB – You may download the firmware files from Lexicon’s web site to a USB drive and then use the USB drive to upgrade the player. Please follow the instructions on the firmware download web page.
• Via Network – If the player has a working Internet connection (see page 20 and 70), you may upgrade the player directly over the Internet. Please follow the instructions on your TV screen.
7. Firmware Information: To display the currently installed
firmware version.
8. Persistent Storage: To manage the persistent storage for
BD-Video contents. The persistent storage is a data storage area that holds additional contents for BonusView and BD-Live features. The data will be kept even if you turn off the player. The following persistent storage management options are available:
• Storage Device – To select which storage device should be used as the persistent storage. The Lexicon BD-30 is equipped with 1GB of internal flash memory. There are two USB ports on the player that can accept a USB drive to be used as the persistent storage. The choices are:
• Internal Flash – Use the internal flash memory for
persistent storage.
• USB Drive – Use a USB drive for persistent storage.
To meet the specification for BD-Live, a USB drive of 1GB or larger is required. A USB hard disk is not recommended.
Note
The new storage device choice becomes effective only after the player is restarted. Please make sure that you turn off the player and then turn it back on after changing the “Storage Device” option.

Lexicon BD-30 Blu-ray Disc Player RS-232 Control Protocol
The Lexicon BD-30 Blu-ray Disc Player can be ordered with an RS-232 option for wired remote control. The RS-232C port is configured as a DCE device using a female 9-pin D-Sub type connector.
RS-232 Pin Configuration:
The pin out of the BD-30 RS-232C port is as follows:
Pin Signal
2 TXD
3 RXD
5 GND
This pin configuration allows a PC running a serial terminal program (such as Hyper Terminal) to communicate with the player using a straight-through DB9 9-pin RS-232 serial cable. Do NOT use a “Null-Modem” type cable for PC connection. For connection to a remote control system, please refer to the documentation that comes with the remote control system.
Communication Settings:
The RS-232 control port of the Lexicon BD-30 uses the following communications settings:
Baud Rate: 9600
Data Bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop Bit: 1
Flow Control: None
Command Structure:
Each command starts with a # sign (ASCII 0x23), followed by a 3-character command code. If there are any parameters for the command, the parameters are given in text format, separated by a space (ASCII 0x20) from the command code. The # character (ASCII 0x23) must never appear in the parameters. A carriage return (ASCII 0x0d) indicates the end of the command. Each command must not exceed 25 bytes including the start of command and end of command bytes.
The illustration of the command structure is as follows:
<Command> = <Start of Command><CommandCode> [<sp><Parameters>]<End of Command>
<Start of Command> = #, ASCII 0x23
<Command Code> = <byte><byte><byte>
<sp> = space, ASCII 0x20
<Parameters> = command-specific
<End of Command> = CR, ASCII 0x0d
Response Structure:
Upon receiving a command, the player shall try to execute the command and send back a response. The response starts with an “@” sign (ASCII 0x23), followed by a result code, either “OK” or “ER”. If there are any parameters or additional message, the parameters or message is given in text format, separated by a space (ASCII 0x20) from the result code. The @ character (ASCII 0x40) must never appear in the parameters or message. A carriage return (ASCII 0x0d) indicates the end of response. Each response must not exceed 25 bytes including the start of response and the end of response bytes.

Appendix
The illustration of the response structure is as follows:
<Response> = <Start of Response><Result Code> [<sp><Parameters>]<End of Response>
<Start of Response> = @, ASCII 0x40
<Result Code> = OK|ER
<sp> = space, ASCII 0x20
<Parameters> = command-specific
<End of Response> = CR, ASCII 0x0d
Command Sequence:
Commands are executed in the order they are received. The host should wait for a response from the player before sending the next command.
If the player receives a new command before executing the previous command, the player may discard the previous command.
If the host does not receive a response from the player 10 seconds after the command is issued, the host may consider the command or response lost during transmission, and can retransmit the command.
Command List:
A. Command that maps to a remote control button
This group of commands maps directly to the infrared remote control keys. No parameters are needed for these commands. The player handles the commands as if it receives the same IR remote commands. For actions that require multiple key sequence, such as go to a certain chapter (GOT command followed by multiple numeric key commands and the SEL command), the player responds to each command individually until the last command is received. At that time the player shall respond with either OK or ER depending on the result of the action.
