Some Dual-Discs: A Dual-Disc is a two-sided disc with
DVD-video on one side and digital audio on the other
side. The digital audio side does not meet the technical
specifications of the Red Book CD format so playback is
not guaranteed.
Audio discs with copy-protection may not be playable.
To keep the disc clean from scratches or fingerprints,
handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the recorded
surface.
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.
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 or become too thick, resulting in
playback issues and a potentially stuck disc.
Avoid exposing the discs to direct sunlight or heat
sources.
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.
Discs that cannot be played
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 uses 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
OPPO Digital’s web site www.oppodigital.com to check if updates are available.

I N T R O D U C T I O N
Changing the Remote Code
The remote control contains three OPPO remote codes. The default is Code 1. If you have other OPPO
products placed close to the UDP-203, they may inadvertently respond to the UDP-203 remote control. To
prevent this, you can select a different remote code.
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 UDP-203 player is turned on and that 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.
Motion Sensitive Backlight
The remote control features a motion sensor to activate the backlight for five seconds when you pick up
the remote or press a button on the remote.
To disable or enable the backlight, press the DIMMER and 0 buttons at the same time on your remote.
10
I N T R O D U C T I O N
CAUTION
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 in a high temperature 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.
If battery leakage occurs, do not touch the liquid with bare hands. Wipe out any liquid
inside the battery compartment, and insert new batteries.

Common Connection Methods
Connecting to an A/V Receiver via HDMI
If you have an HDMI-capable receiver that supports 4K HDR video pass-through, you can simply
run an HDMI cable from the player’s HDMI OUT (Main) output into your receiver and enable
HDMI video pass-through on the receiver (see your receiver’s owner’s manual for more
information). The receiver usually has an HDMI output that you can connect to your TV to pass
the video signal.
Some receivers contain a mixture of HDMI 2.0 and HDMI 1.4 ports. In order to view 4K UHD
content, ensure that you are connecting the UDP-203’s HDMI OUT (Main) output into an HDMI
2.0 and HDCP 2.2 compliant input of the 4K UHD TV.
NOTE
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) 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 may 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.
For Blu-ray Discs, a receiver that supports HDMI 1.4 or later with decoding capability for Dolby
TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio is preferred.
For 4K UHD Blu-ray discs, a receiver that supports HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 or later is required. It
is recommended to use an 18 Gbps Premium High-Speed HDMI Cable to watch 4K UHD movies.
The UDP-203 supports bitstreaming the latest object-based surround audio formats, such as Dolby
Atmos and DTS:X to a receiver that can decode these formats.
Please check the specifications of your receiver to ensure that it meets these requirements.
12
C O M M O N C O N N E C T I O N M E T H O D S
Connecting to a TV via HDMI
Use an HDMI cable to connect the player’s HDMI OUT (Main) output directly into your TV. This
connection method delivers both audio and video in a pure digital format via a single cable.
In order to play 4K UHD content, you must connect the UDP-203’s HDMI OUT (Main) output into
an HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 compliant input of the 4K UHD TV.
NOTE
This connection method will output sound via the TV’s speakers. For optimal sound quality, it is
recommended that audio be transferred from the UDP-203 to an A/V receiver with connected
speakers.
You will need a UHD TV that supports HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 in order to watch UHD Blu-Ray
and other UHD content in 4K resolution.
You will need an HDR-capable TV to watch HDR content.
You will need an 18 Gbps High-Speed HDMI Cable to watch UHD movies at 4K@60.
Do not connect the HDMI OUT (Audio Only) output to your TV.
13
C O M M O N C O N N E C T I O N M E T H O D S
Connecting to a TV and A/V Receiver via Dual HDMI
The UDP-203’s Dual HDMI connection mode ensures that you can enjoy the highest possible
video quality and resolution, in addition to high bit rate audio content. Use an HDMI cable to
connect the HDMI OUT (Main) output to your TV, and another HDMI cable to connect the HDMI
OUT (Audio Only) output to your receiver.
This configuration is recommended when you have a 3D or UHD compatible display, but your
receiver is not 3D or UHD compatible. This configuration will allow you to send the video signal
(3D or UHD in this case) directly to the TV and send the audio signal to the receiver.
NOTE
Please refer to the notes on HDMI connections available on page 12.
If your receiver does not have HDMI audio input capability, please try the alternate
connection methods discussed on pages 15 and 16.
14
C O M M O N C O N N E C T I O N M E T H O D S
Connecting to an A/V Receiver or Amplifier via Analog Outputs
The UDP-203 is equipped with a 7.1ch analog audio output that can be connected to the 7.1ch
analog input section of an A/V receiver or amplifier for audio output. This method is required if the
A/V receiver does not have HDMI inputs. It is also a preferred connection method for taking
advantage of the UDP-203’s advanced digital-to-analog converter (DAC).
Please use up to 8 RCA-style audio interconnect cables to connect the FL (Front Left), FR (Front
Right), SL (Surround Left), SR (Surround Right), C (Center), SW (Subwoofer), SBL (Surround Back
Left) and SBR (Surround Back Right) analog output terminals of the UDP-203 to the corresponding
multi-channel analog audio input jacks of your A/V receiver or amplifier.
If the A/V receiver or amplifier only has 5.1ch audio inputs, you can omit the SBL (Surround Back
Left) and SBR (Surround Back Right) outputs. In the Setup Menu, set the Down Mix Mode to 5.1ch
in the Speaker Configuration section (refer to Down Mix Mode on page 64).
If your audio system offers only stereo audio inputs, or if you would like to connect a dedicated stereo
audio system in addition to the surround audio system which is already connected to the HDMI or
S/PDIF outputs, you can connect the dedicated stereo audio system to the FL (Front Left) and FR
(Front Right) outputs of the player. In the Setup Menu, set the Down Mix Mode to Stereo in the

Connecting to an A/V Receiver or Amplifier via S/PDIF (Coaxial /
Optical)
Please use either a 75-Ohm coaxial digital audio cable with RCA-style connectors or an S/PDIF
optical digital audio cable to connect one of the digital audio outputs to the corresponding input
terminal on your A/V receiver. For detailed setup of coaxial/optical signals, refer to page 57.
NOTE
Due to bandwidth limitations, high resolution audio formats such as Dolby Digital Plus,
Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD High Resolution and DTS-HD Master Audio cannot be sent through
the coaxial or optical digital audio output. A reduced resolution version of the same audio
track will be output instead. To listen to high resolution audio formats in their best quality,
please use the HDMI connection if you have a receiver that handles HDMI audio (see page
12) or use the multi-channel analog outputs if you do not (see page 15).
Due to copyright restrictions, SACD audio cannot be sent through the coaxial or optical
digital audio output. To listen to SACDs, please use the HDMI or analog audio connections.
Due to copyright restrictions and bandwidth limitations, full resolution audio from DVD-Audio
discs cannot be sent through the coaxial or optical digital audio output. To listen to DVDAudio in full resolution, please use the HDMI or analog audio connections.

HDMI INPUT to UDP-203
The HDMI IN port on the rear of the player allows for the connection of native 4K content from
external sources such as a streaming set-top box, cable/satellite boxes, game consoles,
computers and even other Blu-ray and UHD players. The incoming signal is processed by the
player and output to your connected devices, allowing you to take advantage of the player's builtin audio and video processing capabilities.
Use the INPUT button on the OPPO remote to select HDMI IN from the input menu.

Connecting to the Internet
The UDP-203 can play audio, video and photos via your home network. This feature supports DLNA,
SMB/CIFS and NFS protocols.
The UDP-203 also supports the BD-Live feature offered on some Blu-ray Disc titles. BD-Live offers extra
downloadable content and additional online interactive programs. Content available on BD-Live varies by disc
and studio, and may include additional subtitles, commentaries, movie trailers, games, and online chat.
Connecting the player to the Internet will also allow the player to obtain firmware updates. (See page 68 for
more information regarding firmware updates.)
In order to utilize the BD-Live feature or to update the firmware via the Internet, the player needs to be
connected to a broadband Internet connection. It is not necessary to connect to the Internet if you do not
intend to use BD-Live or online firmware update features.
The UDP-203 provides two network connection methods: through Ethernet cable or through the built-in
wireless module. For the fastest and most stable network connection, we recommend using an Ethernet cable
whenever possible.
Internet Connection via Ethernet Cable
Plug one end of a network cable (Category 5/5E straight Ethernet cable) into the LAN port on the
back of the UDP-203.
Plug the other end of the network cable into a LAN port on the broadband router or modem.
After physically connecting the player to a broadband Internet connection, some network
configuration may be required. Refer to the Network Setup section on page 72 for details.
Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the broadband router or modem, or contact the
Internet service provider for questions related to setting up the router or modem.
NOTE
Only connect the LAN port of the player to an Ethernet port that supports 1000BASE-T or
100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T. Connecting to any other ports or jacks, such as a phone jack,
can damage the player.
