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.

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 BDP-103, they may inadvertently respond to the BDP-103 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 BDP-103 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.

Changing the Backlight Method

The remote control supports one of two backlight methods. By default, pressing the LIGHT button will turn on the backlight, and pressing any other button within 10 seconds will keep the backlight on. The alternative method will activate the backlight whenever any button is pressed; in this mode, the light will stay on for 10 seconds, and pressing any other button will keep the backlight on. To switch between these two backlight methods, press and hold the LIGHT button for 5 seconds.

CAUTION

xNever drop the remote control or expose it to moisture.

xNever expose the infrared remote sensor on the front panel to direct sunlight or other strong light sources.

xIf the remote control will not be used for a long time, please remove the batteries.

xUse 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.

xIf 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

Rear Panel

	HDMI In	HDMI Cable
		(to HDMI 1 or 2)
	HDMI Cable
	HDMI OUT	HDMI IN

xIf 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 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.

xEither of the HDMI output terminals (HDMI 1 OUT and/or HDMI 2 OUT) on the rear panel of the BDP-103 can be connected to your receiver. Preference should be given to the HDMI 1 output for video since it is the only output to benefit from the superior Marvell QDEO video processor.

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.

In order to play multi-channel audio for all formats, the receiver must support HDMI v1.1 or later. For Blu-ray Discs, a receiver that supports HDMI v1.4 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 these requirements.

The HDMI outputs on the BDP-103 are HDMI v1.4, which are compatible with HDMI v1.3 and earlier versions.

Connecting to a TV and A/V Receiver via Dual HDMI

Rear Panel

			HDMI Cable 2					HDMI Cable 1

	HDMI IN						HDMI IN
			AUDIO/VIDEO MULTI-CHANNEL RECEIVER

xThe BDP-103 provides a “Dual HDMI” connection to make sure you can enjoy the highest possible video quality and resolution, in addition to high bit rate audio content. You can use the included HDMI cable to connect the HDMI 1 output to your HDTV and use another HDMI cable (not included) to connect the HDMI 2 output to your receiver by setting the Dual HDMI Output option in the Setup Menu to Split A/V (see page 53 for details). In this way you can utilize the dedicated video processor available for the HDMI 1 output, and allow your receiver which has no HDMI 1.4 inputs to work without any loss to the digital audio signals.

xThis configuration is recommended when you have a 3D-compatible display, but your receiver is not 3D-compatible. This allows you to send the video signal (3D, in this case) directly to the TV and the audio signal to the receiver to be distributed to your speakers as it normally would.

NOTE

xPlease refer to the notes on HDMI connections available on page 11.

xIf your receiver does not have HDMI audio input capability, please try the alternate connection methods discussed on pages 16 and 17.

Connecting to the Internet

The BDP-103 has significantly improved its internet streaming capabilities compared to its predecessors. Currently, it supports both Netflix and VUDU, as well as in-home network media sharing via My Network which is capable of connecting with DLNA and SMB/CIFS clients. Additional online streaming applications may also be added with future firmware updates.

The BDP-103 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 pages 4 and 72 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 the network streaming, BD-Live or online firmware update features.

The BDP-103 provides two network connection methods: through Ethernet cable or through the external wireless adaptor included with the player. For the fastest and most stable network connection, we recommend using an Ethernet cable whenever possible.

Quick Start Guide

Power On and Play

The BDP-103 is pre-configured with settings that have been optimized for most home theater systems, so it can fit into your audio/video system without any additional adjustment. To begin, please follow these steps:

1.Connect the OPPO player into your system.

2.Turn on the TV and/or receiver/amplifier, and then turn on the player.

3.Switch the input selection on your TV or receiver so that the TV displays the signal from the player.

Within a few seconds, the player will load the factory default settings and you will see the Home Menu with an OPPO logo. The player is now ready for use. Enjoy your new OPPO Blu-ray Disc Player!

Please follow the rest of the user manual for information on basic and advanced operations.

Select the Best Output Resolution

One of the major advantages of the BDP-103 is its ability to play high-definition Blu-ray video and also upconvert 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. For best results, it is important to select an output resolution that best matches your TV or display.

The rule of thumb when selecting an output resolution is to match the “native resolution” of your TV or display 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 upscale or downscale the video to fit its display component. Unfortunately, many TVs on the market only do an average job of scaling the video. On the other hand, if you set the BDP-103 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 most new displays on the market, the best output resolution will be 1080p. A few early model “1080p” displays did not accept a 1080p signal. For these displays, the best output resolution is 1080i. For small screen digital TVs this will likely be 720p. For even earlier CRT tube or rear projection TVs this will likely be 1080i. For EDTV displays (very rare if they have HDMI or DVI) this will be 480p (NTSC) or 576p (PAL). 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 result visually.

The BDP-103 supports a special Source Direct mode through its HDMI outputs. 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	1080i
(video-source)
SACD and DVD-Audio	1080i

22

I N S T A L L A T I O N

For both HDMI outputs, the following output resolutions are available: 4Kx2K, Auto, 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p/576p, 480i/576i, and Source Direct. If Auto is selected, the player will determine the output resolution based on the best signal resolution that the TV can display.

To change the output resolution, press the RESOLUTION button on the remote to bring the Resolution Menu, then press the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons to highlight the desired one, and press the ENTER button to confirm and return. If your TV does not support the selected resolution, you may see a black screen or an error message. In this case, try a different resolution that your TV can support.

Determine the Display Aspect Ratio

Standard Definition, or 4:3 TV

Wide screen, or 16:9 TV

The TV 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 most Blu-ray discs and many DVD discs are released in the wide screen format, it is highly recommended to use a wide screen TV with the BDP-103.

The Aspect Ratio selections are 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:

TV Screen Appearance
Original Content	16:9
Wide	Wide/Auto
4:3
16:9

If you have a widescreen (16:9) display, select one of these options:

x16:9 Wide – 16:9 (widescreen) sources will be displayed in their native aspect ratio, and 4:3 sources will be horizontally stretched.

x16:9 Wide/Auto – 16:9 (widescreen) as well as 4:3 sources will be displayed in their native aspect ratio. Please note that in this mode, 4:3 sources will be displayed with black borders on both left and right sides to maintain the correct 4:3 aspect ratio.
