Setting 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-83, they may inadvertently respond to the BDP-83 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-83 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 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.
• 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.

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 OPPO 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 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 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
48 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.
• 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 and TV
• HDMI can transmit both audio and video signals over a single cable. 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.

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.

Custom Installation
External IR (Infrared Remote) Installation
The OPPO BDP-83 Blu-Ray Disc Player features IR IN and IR OUT ports on its back panel. If the player is to
be installed in an equipment cabinet where direct line-of-sight is not available for remote control, your custom
home theater installer can purchase an External IR Remote Sensor (OPPO part number IR-ES1) and plug it
into the IR IN port. Place the sensor head at a location where there is direct line-of-sight to ensure reliable
operation. The External IR Remote Sensor is available from your dealer or directly from OPPO Digital, Inc.
If you have another OPPO device that features an IR IN port, the IR OUT port on the BDP-83 can pass
through remote control signal to the next OPPO device. For example, if you use an OPPO HM-31 Advanced
3x1 HDMI Switch to expand the HDMI inputs on your TV, the IR IN port of the HM-31 can be connected to the
IR OUT port of the BDP-83 using a 3.5mm stereo cable.

NOTE
• OPPO cannot guarantee that the IR IN and IR OUT ports will be compatible with
devices that are not manufactured by OPPO.
• Connecting the IR IN or IR OUT port to an incompatible device may result in damage
to the connected device or the player.
• Please contact OPPO customer support if you plan to integrate the player into an IR
distribution system. Customer support can provide recommendations on how to
properly connect the control signals.
