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.

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:
