technologies: if the discs do not conform to the CD
standard, they may not be playable on this player

Disc care and handling

x To keep the disc clean from scratches or fingerprints,

handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the recorded
surface.

x Blu-ray Discs record data in very high density and the

recorded 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.

x Do not use record cleaning sprays or solvents such as

benzene, thinner and anti-static spray.

x 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.

x Avoid exposing the discs to direct sunlight or heat

sources.

x Do not use the following discs:

o Discs with exposed adhesive from removed stickers

or labels. The disc may get stuck inside the player.

o Warped or cracked discs.
o Irregularly shaped discs, such as heart or business

card shapes.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Notes about BD-ROM compatibility

Since the Blu-ray Disc specifications are new and evolving, some discs may not play properly depending on the disc type, version
and encoding. 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 or software update
from time to time.

Please visit web site to check if updates are available.

Changing the Remote Code

The remote control supports one of three remote codes. The default is “Code 1”. If you have other OPPO
products placed close to the BDP-93AU, they may inadvertentlyrespond to the BDP-93AU 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 ball
point 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 BDP-93AU 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.

Composite Video Cable

(optional)

HDMI Cable (to HDMI 1 or 2)

Method 1 – HDMI Connection Directly to a single TV

x 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.

x There are two HDMI output terminals (HDMI 1 and HDMI 2) on the rear panel of BDP-93AU,

both of which can be connected to your TV. We recommend to use HDMI 1 since it benefits
from the dedicated Marvell QDEO video processor, and set the “Primary Output” option in the
setupmenuto“HDMI 1” (please refer to page 52 for more details).

x You may connect the composite video cable to the TV for troubleshooting purposes, in the

event that there is a problem with HDMI 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 2 –HDMI Connection Directly to two TVs

x The two HDMI outputs (HDMI 1 and HDMI 2) available on the rear panel of BDP-93AU can

connect to two TVs at the same time, and each output can deliver the digital video and audio
signals.

x We recommend to connect your main TV (the one with larger screen size or the one that you

would watch more often) to HDMI 1 thus to benefit from the dedicated video processor, and set
the “Primary Output” option in the setup menu to “HDMI 2” to make sure that the HDMI 2 can
output high bit rate audio signals (please see more details on page 52).

x You may connect the composite video cable to one of your TVs for trouble-shooting purpose,

please refer to page 10 for more details.

Method 3 – DVI Connection to TV

x 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 OPPO Blu-ray Disc player presents the
highest possible video quality and resolution. We recommend to use HDMI 1 since it can
benefit from the dedicated video processor, and set the “Primary Output” option in the setup
menu to “HDMI 1” (please see more details on page 52).

x Please use the Red/White audio cables to connect the FL (Front Left) and FR (Front Right)

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.

x You may connect the composite video cable to the TV for trouble-shooting purpose, please

refer to page 10 for more details.

HDCP stands for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. The HDMI output of the OPPO
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 4– Component Video Connection to TV

x 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, and
remember to set the “Primary Output” option in the setup menu to “Analog” (please see more
details on page 52). 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.

x Please use the Red/White audio cables to connect the FL (Front Left) and FR (Front Right)

terminals on the rear panel 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.

x When the “Primary Output” option in the “Video Setup” section of the Setup menu is set to

“HDMI 1” or “HDMI 2” (see page 52 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 “Analog” in order to properly use the component video connection.

x 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.

x 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.

x You may connect the composite video cable to the TV for trouble-shooting purpose, please

refer to page 10 for more details.

Method 5 – HDMI Connection to Receiver and TV

x 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.

x Either of the HDMI output terminals (HDMI 1 and/or HDMI 2) on the rear panel of the BDP-

93AU can be connected to your receiver. Preference should be given to HDMI 1 for video since
it’s the only output on the machine to benefit from the superior Marvell QDEO video processing
solution, and set the “Primary Output” option in the setup menu to “HDMI 1” (please refer to
page 52).

NOTE

HDMI is a single cable that 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.

The HDMI outputs on the BDP-93AU are HDMI v1.4, which is compatible with HDMI v1.3 and
earlier versions.

Select the Best Output Resolution

One of the major advantages of the OPPO Blu-Ray Disc Player is its ability to play high-definition Bl u-Ray
video and also up-convert standard definiti on 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, det ail 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 di splay 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 av erage job
scaling the video. On the other hand, if you set the OPPO Blu-ray Disc Player to output a resolutio n that
matches or is very close to the native resolution of the TV, you are m ore likely to get a great pi cture.

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/576p. These are general recommendations that work for most users, but there can be ex ceptions.
Advanced users may want to try all supported resolutions and choose the one that provides the best visual
result.

The OPPO Blu-ray Disc Player supports a special “Source Direct” output resolution on it s 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 ra w video signal i n its
native resolution and format, without extra processing, to the external video processo r or TV. The actual
output resolution varies by content:

Content Source Direct Output Resolution

PAL DVD 576i
NTSC DVD 480i
Most Blu-ray Movies (film-source) 1080p 23.976Hz or 1080p 24Hz

prompt to ask whether you would like to start downloading; and some may ask you to sign up for a
membership or account. Please follow the instructions that come with the disc to enjoy BD-Live contents.

Your Internet connection speed, the overall Internet traffic situation and the capacity of the BD-Live content
servers can all affect how fast BD-Live contents can be downloaded. If you encounter slow downloading or
intermittent playback, please play the disc without accessing the BD-Live features, or try again at a different
time.

When you use the BD-Live feature, the player or disc ID and your IP (Internet Protocol) address may be sent
to the content provider via the Internet. Generally, no personally identifiable information is sent. However
technologies exist to match your IP address to a certain geographical area or service provider. Your Internet
service provider also has the knowledge of who is using which IP address. If the BD-Live content provider
requires you to login using a membership or account, the content provider will have access to your

The “Under Scan” zoom level shrinks the image by 5%. This zoom level may be used to
compensate for TVs that over scan, so the viewer can see the entire image area with no cropping.
All other zoom levels are indicated by their respective zoom ratio.

NOTE

x Some early DVD titles (released from 1997 until early 2000’s) 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.

x Due to the dominance of wide screen, or 16:9 TV, no specific ZOOM levels are provided

for “TV Aspect Ratio” of “4:3 Letterbox” or “4:3 Pan & Scan”

Zoom Levels for HDMI 2 & Analog (Component) Video Output

The following zoom levels are available when “Primary Output” is set to “HDMI 2 & Analog”:

Menu” to assist you in navigating and playing the files. You can also bring up the Home Menu with the HOME
button on the remote control. The Home Menu is the starting point for accessing media files.

HOME

There are eight selections in the HOME Menu:

x Depending on what type of media files that you intend to play, you can choose among the

“Music”, “Movie” and “Photo” categories.

x “Internet” contains the network applications.
x “My Network” is an experimental feature right now. It enables the player to stream audio, video

and photo from media servers on the home network.

x “Setup Menu” selection will bring you to the player’s Setup Menu, just like pressing the SETUP

button on the remote control.

NOTE

The experimental features are not officially supported. OPPO does not offer technical
support via email or phone for these experimental features.

SETUP MENU OPTIONS

The Setup Menu of the OPPO 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 setup 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. Whenperforming 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 OPPO BDP-93AU 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.Onceyou
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 Mark 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.

SETUP MENU OPTIONS

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 Auto Play Mode parameter to Off in the Playback

Setup section. To indicate where we were, you would see the following: Playback Setup > Auto Play
Mode > Off.

NOTE

It is possible that some setup items are grayed-out and inaccessible. This can be caused by
the 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 > Primary Output”issetto“Analog”, the “Output Resolution >

Auto (or Source Direct)” menu item will be grayed-out. Setting “Primary Output”to“HDMI
1 (or HDMI 2)” will enable the “Auto (or Source Direct)” resolution.

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 recommended that you operate
the Setup Menu when playback is fully stopped or when there is no disc in the player.

1. Picture Adjustment: To adjust picture control parameters. The OPPO BDP-93AU Blu-ray Disc
Player provides a wide array of picture controls. Please refer to the Picture Adjustment
section on page 55 of this manual for details of each control.

2. Primary Output: To select the primary video output port. The options are:
x HDMI 1 – Use HDMI 1 as the primary video output port. This setting will ensure that the

HDMI 1 output gets the best possible picture quality. The dedicated QDEO DE2750 video
processor will be used unless “Source Direct” for output resolution is selected, in which
case QDEO DE2750 video processor is bypassed. Component and composite video output
may not be available or may be limited to a lower resolution based on content source
limitations.

x HDMI 2 – Use HDMI 2 as the primary video output port. Similar to “HDMI 1”, this setting

ensures that the HDMI 2 output gets the best possible picture quality, except that it utilizes
the video decoder in the player to perform necessary video processing, not the DE2750
video processor.

x Analog – Use component video as the primary video output port. This setting will ensure

that the component output is always available and displays proper video signals. The video
decoder in the player performs any necessary format conversion, and the DE2750 video
processor is completely bypassed.

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. 3D Mode: To choose the video output mode for available 3D contents at the HDMI output ports.
The options are:

x Auto – Output 3D if supported both by the disc content and the display. The player

automatically checks for the existence of 3D content on the disc and the 3D compatibility of

52

SETUP MENU OPTIONS

the TV or projector. If both are qualified, the player sends 3D video from its HDMI output
terminals, otherwise only 2D video is sent out. Active shutter 3D-compatible glasses are
required to enjoy the 3D movie on your TV.

x

Off – Always output 2D video format, even when 3D video exists on the disc. This can
guarantees the video quality in case that your TV is not 3D compatible, or some necessary
part (such as the 3D glasses) is missing.

Forced – Always output 3D video format for 3D Blu-ray discs. You might experience a

x

black screen (no video output) if your TV is not 3D compatible.

4. 3D TV Size: To enter the diagonal screen size of your HDTV. This option applies to 3D mode,
to help the player adjust the 3D image for better visual quality.

x Use the number buttons on the remote control to enter the actual diagonal size of your TV

screen, or use the DOWN ARROW button to delete the digits.

The default is 46 inches.

5. TV Aspect Ratio: To set the aspect ratio of the player’s output image. The options are:
x 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.

x 4:3 Pan & Scan – Choose this when the display is standard 4:3. A widescreen image will

be stretched.

x 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.

x 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.

6. TV System: To choose the output video system or broadcast standard (PAL/NTSC) to match
the type of TV. The options are:

x PAL (default) – 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.

x NTSC – 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.

x 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.

53

SETUP MENU OPTIONS

54

7. 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.

8. 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:

x 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.

x 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.

x Off – Video encoded in 24Hz frame rate will be converted to 50Hz (PAL) or 60Hz (NTSC).

9. HDMI Options: To configure video options that apply only to the HDMI output. This item
contains a sub-menu with multiple configuration options. Please refer to the HDMI Options
section on page 58 of this manual for details of each option.

10. Display Options: To configure the options for displaying on-screen information. The followi ng
display options are available:

x Subtitle Shift – To set the display position for subtitles. When the “Subtitle Shift” is set at 0

(default), subtitles are displayed at the original position as specified on the disc. When it is
set at a value between 1 and 5, subtitles are shifted up. When it is set at a value between

-1 and -5, subtitles are shifted down. This feature is helpful for customers using a 2.35:1
“Constant Image Height” video projection system. Subtitles can be shifted to the active
video area so they do not get cut off.

x OSD Position – To set the display position for the on-screen display (OSD). When the

“OSD Position” is set at 0, OSD is shown at the top and bottom of the video screen. When
it is set at a value between 1 and 5, the OSD is shifted towards the center of the video
screen. Similar to the subtitle shift setting above, the “OSD Position” feature is helpful for
customers using a 2.35:1 “Constant Image Height” video projection system.

x OSD Mode – To select how long the on-screen display information, such as elapsed or

remaining time, stays on the TV screen. The available options are:

x Normal – On-screen display information stays on the TV screen until the user cancels it.
x Silent – On-screen display information shows on the TV screen for a few seconds and

then disappears. The front panel display still maintains the selected display information.

x Remaining – On-screen display information stays on the TV screen until the user

cancels it. By default displays remaining time instead of elapsed time.

x Angle Mark (on/off) – To turn on/off the display of an angle mark when a DVD or Blu-ray

Disc with multiple available angles is played. Keeping the angle mark off avoids distraction
from normal movie watching.

x PIP Mark (on/off) – To turn on/off the display of a Picture-in-Picture mark when a Blu-ray

Disc with secondary video is played. Keeping the PIP mark off avoids distraction from
normal movie watching.

SETUP MENU OPTIONS

55

x SAP Mark (on/off) – To turn on/off the display of a Secondary Audio Program mark when a

Blu-ray Disc with secondary video and audio is played. Keeping the SAP mark off avoids
distraction from normal movie watching.

x 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:
x On – After about 3 minutes of inactivity, the player will show an animated OPPO logo

moving on a black background. This allows most areas of the screen to rest and gives
all areas an equal opportunity to refresh.

x Off – The screen saver will not be activated. Use this option if your TV does not have a

burn-in issue.

x 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 OPPO remote control or the player’s front panel, the
screen saver will be canceled 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.

2. Brightness: To adjust the brightness (black level) of the video output.

3. 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 the Spears & Munsil™ High Definition Benchmark Blu-ray Edition or 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.

4. Hue: To adjust the hue (tint) of the video output.

5. Saturation: To adjust the saturation (color intensity level) of the video output.

6. Sharpness: To set the sharpness of video output. Sharpness (also called Detail/Edge
Enhancement in previous OPPO players) is a video processing function that can control the
image sharpness but at the same time may cause unwanted artifacts.

For HDMI 1, the sharpness level can be set between -16 and +16. The default is level 0, which
turns off sharpness 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 sharpness.

z At level 1, the player applies low level Detail Enhancement, during which the video

processor isolates the detailed parts from the original image, processes them separately
and integrates back before the final output.

z At level 2, the player increases Detail Enhancement to a higher level. Generally, to make

an image “sharper”, we recommend using level 1 and 2.

z At level 3 and above, the player adds Luminance Transition Improvement (LTI) and

Chroma Transition Improvement (CTI), which further sharpen the luminance transition and
chroma transition. However, we do not recommend using level 3 and above unless the
source content is poorly produced and blurry.

For HDMI 2 & Analog, the sharpness level can be set between 0 and +2. The default is level

0. The higher the level, the sharper the video details are. However, too high a sharpness level
may cause while line etching around objects.

7. Noise Reduction: To select whether the player shall apply video noise reduction processing.
For HDMI 1, the noise reduction level can be set between 0 and 8. The default is level 0,

which turns off noise reduction.

z When set to level 1, the player adjusts the picture quality by reducing the “mosquito noise”

(artifacts around the outlines of objects) and “block noise” (mosaic-like patterns caused by
video compression). These two noise reduction are also called Compression Artifacts
Reduction (CAR) and have several levels of aggressiveness.

z When set to level 2, the player applies the Motion Adaptive Video Noise Reduction (VNR),

which handles the random noise and the film-grain noise (natural variation of picture
intensity caused by film grain). Its level is automatic because there is a noise estimator
circuitry in the video processor that calculates how much noise presents and adjusts the
level of VNR accordingly.

z When set to 3 or 4, the player applies both CAR and Motion Adaptive VNR, with more

aggressive “block noise” reduction at level 4.

z At level 5, the player applies aggressive CAR for low quality video content, and adds

Motion Adaptive VNR at level 6.

z At level 7, the player applies the most aggressive CAR for very low quality video, and

adds Motion Adaptive VNR at level 8.

Remember that 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.

SETUP MENU OPTIONS

58

For HDMI 2 & Analog, the noise reduction level can be set between 0 and +3. The default is
level 0. When user increases the level, the player adjusts the picture quality by applying
mosquito noise reduction, random noise reduction and MPEG block noise reduction at the
same time. The higher level user sets, the more aggressive noise reduction functions apply.

The following picture adjustment controls are only available for HDMI 1 video output:

8. Color Enhancement: To select the col or enhancement level on the video output. This
enhances certain colors in the spectrum and enables vivid colors in outdoor scenes without
causing hue shifts, loss of detail or changes in skin tones.

9. Contrast Enhancement: To select the contrast enhancement level on the video output. This
expands detail in shadows.

HDMI Options

HDMI Options are a sub-menu of the Video Setup menu. It allows you to configure some video settings that
are unique to the HDMI output. To enter this sub-menu, select “HDMI Options” from the Video Setup menu.
To exit this sub-menu, press the RETURN button or the LEFT arrow key. The following HDMI options are
available:

1. Color Space (HDMI 1) – To select the color space for the HDMI 1 output. The available
options are:

x 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.

x RGB Video Level – The HDMI output uses RGB color space and normal signal range

suitable for video displays.

x 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.

x YCbCr 4:4:4 – The HDMI output uses YCbCr 4:4:4 color space.
x 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.)

2. Color Space (HDMI 2) – To select the color space for the HDMI 2 output. The available
options are the same as those for Color Space (HDMI 1).

3. Deep Color (HDMI 1) – To select the Deep Color mode for the HDMI 1 output. Deep Color is
an OPTION for some TVs or projectors that feature HDMI v1.3 or higher input. 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 a re:

x 36 Bits – Use the 36-bit per pixel Deep Color mode.
x 30 Bits (Dithered) – Use the 30-bit per pixel Deep Color mode with dithering technique.

SETUP MENU OPTIONS

59

x 30 Bits – Use the 30-bit per pixel Deep Color mode.
x Off (Dithered) –Do not use Deep Color, but apply the dithering technique.
x Off (default) – Do not use Deep Color.

4. Deep Color (HDMI 2) – To select the Deep Color mode for the HDMI 2 output. The available
options are the same as those for HDMI Deep Color (HDMI 1).

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.

Dithering is a technique to improve the image color depth with limited color quantization.

5ˊ Demo Mode – To enable a special split-screen demonstration mode. This is designed for the

demonstration of the Qdeo video processing technology. It can also be used as an aid for setting
picture control adjustments for Noise Reduction, Color Enhancement and Contra st Enhancement. It
should NOT be used for normal movie watching. The available options are:

x On – The video screen will be split in half. The left side shows video without the help of Qdeo video

processing, and the right side demonstrates the result of Qdeo video processing.

x Off (default) – Normal viewing mode.

NOTE

The demo mode is canceled automatically after the player is turned off.

6ˊ Video Only (HDMI 1) – To choose whether only send video signal (no audio signal) to HDMI 1 terminal

or not. The available options are:

x No (default) – Both video and audio signals are sent to HDMI 1 terminal.
x Yes – Only video signal is sent to HDMI 1 terminal. This can be useful if you use HDMI 1 only for

video display, no need to lower the volume or mute the HDTV connecting to it.

1. Secondary Audio: To set the Secondary Audio Program mixing option. Some Blu-ray Discs
contain a secondary audio and video program, such as the director’s commentary. Some Blu­ray Discs have a sound effect when you make menu choices. This Setup Menu item allows you
to decide whether to mix the Secondary Audio Program and menu clicking sound into the
primary audio. The options are:

x On – The Secondary Audio Program and menu clicking sound are mixed into the primary

audio. Usually this will cause the primary audio volume to be slightly reduced.

x Off – The Secondary Audio Program and menu clicking sound are not mixed into the

primary audio and you cannot hear the secondary audio or menu clicking sound. This
setting preserves the highest possible audio quality for the primary audio.

2. HDMI Audio: To select digital audio output format from the HDMI port. The options are:
x Auto (default) – The player checks with the device connecting to HDMI output to

automatically determine which audio format to use.

x 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.

x 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.

x 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 (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

SETUP MENU OPTIONS

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. 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:

x LPCM – Forces down-mixed 2-channel digital audio output. Choose this setting if your

receiver/amplifier only supports stereo digital (PCM) audio.

x 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.

4. 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:

x 48K – Supported by most equipment.
x 96K – Allows a higher sampling rate and frequency response. It can result in better audio

quality. Ensure that the receiver/amplifier can support it.

x 192K (default) – 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

On the BDP-93AU, the “LPCM Rate Limit” can also affect the analog audio performance.
Setting to “192K” may help to get the best analog audio quality.

5. SACD Output: To select audio output format for SACD. The options are:
x 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.

x 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.

6. HDCD Decoding: To set the audio decoding option for HDCD (High Definition Compatible
Digital) discs. The options are:

x On – HDCD is decoded by the player. you can enjoy expanded dynamic range and

improved audio resolution.

61

SETUP MENU OPTIONS

x Off – HDCD is treated as regular CD. This is useful when the player is connected to an

HDCD-capable A/V receiver via a digital audio output link (Coaxial, Optical, or HDMI) so the
A/V receiver can perform HDCD decoding.

NOTE

If your receiver is capable of HDCD decoding, it is recommended to set the “HDCD
Decoding”to“Off” on the BDP-95AU, otherwise you might occasionally hear pop or

crackle sounds during the HDCD playback.

ensitivity differences. However, if your receiver 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.

NOTE

Starting from the firmware version BDP9x-52-0707 (released on July 13, 2011), the “Test
Tone” can be used in conjunction with the player’s trim control. Each speaker can be set

to independent trim levels and there is no linked pair limitation.

Other Audio Processing Settings

In addition to Speaker Configuration, Crossover Frequency and Dynamic Range Control are audio
processing settings that can be configured:

1. Crossover Frequency: To set the Bass Management kick-in frequency for all speakers. When the
speakersizeisset to“Small” in “Speaker Configuration” (see page 68), bass information below this
frequency are not passed to the speakers to reduce possible distortion, and if the subwoofer is
available, bass information will be redirected to the subwoofer. The available options are:

x 40Hz / 60Hz / 80Hz / 90Hz / 100Hz / 110Hz / 120Hz / 150Hz / 200Hz / 250Hz – These are

the available crossover frequencies. You can press the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons and
the ENTER buttons to select it. This option applies to all speakers (center, front, surround,

and surround back speakers). By default the crossover frequency is 80Hz.

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:

x

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.

x

On – Turn on dynamic range compression.

x

Off – Turn off dynamic range compression.

NOTE

The Dynamic Range Compression is applied on the analog audio output, it also works on the
digital audio output (HDMI, Coaxial and Optical) when the audio format is set to PCM.

3. Output Volume: To set to enable or disable the analog volume controls (also known as Variable
Audio). The available options are:

x Variable – Enable the analog volume control. Use the VOL-/+ buttons on the remote to

decrease/increase the analog audio output level (the maximum is 100).

x Fixed – Disable the analog volume control. The VOL-/+ buttons on the remote will no

longer affect the analog audio output, and the volume level is fixed to 100.

Please visit web site

and instructions on installing the

updates.

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.

There are three ways to upgrade the player’s firmware. The options are:

x Via Disc –

instructions that

the

come with the upgrade disc.

x Via USB –

You may download the firmware files from the web site

www.internationaldynamics.com.au and then use the USB drive to upgrade the player.

Please follow

x Via Network – If the player has a working Internet connection (see

the instructions

on the firmware download web page.

page 19 and 74), you
may upgrade the player directly over the Internet. Please follow the instructions on your TV
screen.

3. Firmware Notification: To set whether the player should automatically check if new firmware
versions are available on the Internet server and notify the user about new firmware. The options
are:

x On – Check for new firmware version automatically and notify the user about new firmware.

Requires a working network connection.

x Off – Do not check for new firmware version automatically.

4. Remote Control Code: The OPPO BDP-93AU Blu-ray Disc Player can respond to one of 4 sets of
remote control codes. Th

e default is “Code 1”. If you have other OPPO products placed close to the

1

SETUP MENU OPTIONS

BDP-93AU, the other products may respond to the BDP-93AU remote control. In this case you can
select a different remote code to avoid conflicts. The available codes are:

x Code 1 – OPPO disc player remote code set 1. This is the default remote code.
x Code 2 – OPPO disc player remote code set 2. Use this code if you have other OPPO

products placed close to the BDP-93AU.

x Code 3 – OPPO disc player remote code set 3. Use this code if you have other OPPO

products placed close to the BDP-93AU.

x Alt. Code – Alternative remote code. The alternative remote control code enables users to

program their universal remote controls that come with TV, projector or A/V receiver to
operate the OPPO player. If the universal remote control has a DVD player control function,
please program it with the code for TOSHIBA, PHILIPS, MAGNAVOX, MARANTZ or
ZENITH DVD players. Since each brand of remote control may have several sets of codes,
you may need to try several times using different codes to find a working code.

If you have selected a new remote code, you must set the remote control handset to use the same code.
Please refer to the Changing the Remote Code section on page 9 of this manual for details. If you have

selected “Alt. Code”, the supplied handset will not operate the pla

yer, and you must use a universal

remote control with the properly configured code set.

5. 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 OPPO BDP-93AU Blu-ray
Disc Player provides three HDMI CEC function modes for each of its HDMI outputs:

x HDMI 1 – HDMI CEC is enabled on HDMI 1 output. Use this mode if your other devices are

compatible with the player.

x HDMI 1 (Limited) – HDMI CEC is enabled on HDMI 1 output, but the BDP-93AU will only

respond to playback control commands. It will not respond or issue power on/off and input
selection commands. Use this mode if you do not want the automatic setup function to turn
on/off your devices.

x HDMI 2 – HDMI CEC is enabled on HDMI 2 output. Similar to HDMI 1.
x HDMI 2 (Limited) – HDMI CEC is enabled on HDMI 2 output, but the BDP-93AU will only

respond to playback control commands. Similar to HDMI 1 (Limited).

x Off (default) – HDMI CEC feature is turned off on both HDMI output terminals. The player

will not respond to HDMI CEC commands from other devices, nor will it setup other devices
automatically.

6. Front Panel Display: To control the display intensity of the front panel Vacuum Fluorescent Display
(VFD) information windows. In case you feel that the display becomes a distraction to your
enjoyment of the video, this option allows you to dim it or turn it off. The available options are:

x Full - The VFD windows (both left and right sides) are at full brightness for all displays.

turned off after 10 seconds, and resumes momentarily if there is any user operation.

x Off – The VFD windows are turned off. In this mode the display will resume momentarily if

there is any user operation.

7. 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:

x Storage Device – To select which storage device should be used as the persistent storage.

The OPPO BDP-93AU 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:

x Internal Flash – Use the internal flash memory for persistent storage.
x USB Drive – Use a USB drive for persistent storage. To meet the specification for BD-Live,

a USB flash 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.
