Not all discs will have the features described below.

For High-Defi nition Playback
To view high-defi nition contents on a Blu-ray Disc, an HDTV (High Defi nition Television) is required.
Some Blu-ray Discs may require using the player's HDMI OUT to view high-defi nition content. The ability to view
high-defi nition content on Blu-ray Discs may be limited depending on the resolution of your TV.
Graphic planes
Two individual, full HD resolution (1920x1080)
video layers are available on top of the HD
video layer.
One layer is assigned to video-related
graphics (like subtitles), and the other layer is
assigned to interactive elements, such as
buttons or menus. Various wipes, fades and
scroll effects may be available on both layers.
Menu graphics

HDMI Auto Detection Function
The player's video output will automatically change to HDMI output resolution when connecting an
HDMI cable while power is on (see page 42).
Depending on your TV, certain HDMI output resolutions may not work.
M
Please refer to the user's manual of your TV.
If an HDMI cable is connected from the player to a TV, the Blu-ray Disc Player’s output is set to HDMI output
resolution automatically within 10 seconds.
If Component and HDMI are both connected, HDMI mode is automatically selected. (See page 42)
When you connect the player to the TV using the HDMI cable for the first time or to a new TV, the HDMI
output resolution will automatically be set to the highest provided by the TV.
If you connect a Samsung TV to the Blu-ray Disc Player using an HDMI cable, the player can be easily
operated using the TV remote control. (This is only available with Samsung TVs that support the Anynet+
feature.) (See pages 44~45)
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)
•
HDMI is an interface that enables the digital transmission of video and audio data with just a single
connector.
Using HDMI, the Blu-ray Disc Player transmits a digital video and audio signal and displays a vivid
picture on a TV having an HDMI input jack.
•
HDMI connection description
HDMI connector - Supports video and digital audio data (LPCM or Bitstream).
- HDMI outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV.
- If your TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), random noise
appears on the screen.
•
Why does Samsung use HDMI?
Analog TVs require an analog video/audio signal. However, when playing a Blu-ray Disc/DVD, the
data transmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analog converter (in the Blu-ray Disc
Player) or an analog-to-digital converter (in the TV) is required. During this conversion, the picture
quality is degraded due to noise and signal loss. HDMI technology is superior because it requires no
D/A conversion and is a pure digital signal from the player to your TV.
What is the HDCP?
•
HDCP (High-band width Digital Content Protection) is a system for protecting Blu-ray Disc/DVD
content outputted via HDMI from being copied. It provides a secure digital link between a video
source (PC, DVD. etc) and a display device (TV, projector. etc). Content is encrypted at the source
device to prevent unauthorized copies from being made.

What is Anynet+?
Anynet+ is a convenient function that offers linked operation of this unit through Samsung TVs with
the Anynet+ feature.

- If you turn on the player and insert a disc, the player will start playing the disc, and the TV will turn
on automatically and switch to HDMI mode.
- If you turn on the player and press the PLAY
