key features of your new Blu-ray Disc Player
Player Features
Supports a Variety of Disc Types
Supports Blu-ray (BD-ROM, BD-RE, BD-R), DVD Video, DVD-RW/-R (V mode and fi nalized only) discs and Audio CD.
HDMI (High Defi nition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI reduces picture noise by allowing a pure digital video/audio signal path from the player to your TV.
Blu-ray Disc Features
Blu-ray Discs can store 25 GB (single layer) or 50 GB (dual layer) on a single sided disc - about 5 to 10 times the capacity of a DVD. Blu-ray Discs also support the highest quality HD video available in the industry - Large capacity means no compromise on video quality. Furthermore, a Blu-ray Disc has the same familiar size and look as a DVD.
* The following Blu-ray Disc features are disc dependant and will vary.
Appearance and navigation of features will also vary from disc to disc. Not all discs will have the features described below.
Video highlights
The BD-ROM format supports three highly advanced video codecs, including AVC, VC-1, and MPEG-2.
HD video resolutions are also available:
1920 x 1080 High Defi nition
1280 x 720 High Defi nition
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.

HDMI (High Defi nition 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
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.

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

When you connect the player to the TV using the HDMI cable for the fi rst time or to a new TV, the HDMI output
resolution will be automatically 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
