Precautions  
x
Before connecting the AC power cord to the appliance,  
make sure the voltage designation of the appliance  
corresponds to the local electrical supply. If you are  
unsure of your power supply, contact your local power  
company. The acceptable power input range is AC ~  
100V-240V, 50/60Hz.  
The apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be  
connected to a MAINS socket outlet with a protective  
earthing connection.  
The player is still receiving power from the AC power  
source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet,  
even if the player itself has been turned off.  
Unplug the power cord if you are not going to use the  
product for an extended period of time. Hold the power  
plug when unplugging. Do not pull on the cord.  
The main plug is used as the mechanism for cutting off  
power, therefore make sure it is easy to unplug.  
x
To ensure proper ventilation around this product, do not  
place this product on a sofa, bed or rug. When installing  
this product on a wall or bookshelf, you need to provide  
appropriate space: we recommend leaving 4 inches (10  
cm) of free space at the top, the sides and the rear.  
High temperature will lead to abnormal operation of this  
unit. Do not expose this unit or batteries to direct sunlight  
or near other heating objects.  
When moving the player from a cold location to a warm  
one, or vice versa, moisture may condense on the laser  
pickup unit inside the player. Should this occur, the  
player may not operate properly. In such a case please  
turn the unit on for 1-2 hours (without a disc) to facilitate  
moisture evaporation.

x
x
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.  
DVD-RAMs  
HD-DVDs  
Data portion of CD-Extras  
DVDs / Blu-Rays with a region code other than 1 or A  
Audio discs with copy-protection may not be playable.  
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.  
Disc care and handling  
x
To keep the disc clean from scratches or fingerprints,  
handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the recorded  
surface.  
x
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.  
x
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.  
x
x
Do not use the following discs:  
o
Discs with exposed adhesive from removed stickers  
or labels. The disc may get stuck inside the player.  
Warped or cracked discs.  
o
o
Irregularly shaped discs, such as heart or business  
card shapes.  
x
Do not use record cleaning sprays or solvents such as  
benzene, thinner and anti-static spray.

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.

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  
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.  
Either 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.

The 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.  
This 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.

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

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 up-  
convert 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)  
Most Blu-ray TV shows or Concerts

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  
16:9

sources will be horizontally stretched.  
16:9 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.

BD-Live  
Some Blu-ray Disc titles are released with the BD-Live feature. BD-Live offers extra  
downloadable content and additional online interactive programs. BD-Live content varies by  
disc and studio, and may include additional subtitles, commentaries, preview trailers, games,  
and online chat. A Broadband internet connection is required to enjoy BD-Live content (see page 19).  
Depending on how the studios organize their BD-Live content, some Blu-ray Discs may start downloading BD-  
Live content when playback starts, have a BD-Live selection on the main menu, show a prompt asking whether  
you would like to start downloading, or ask you to sign up for a membership or account. Please follow the  
instructions that come with the disc to enjoy BD-Live contents.  
Your Internet connection speed and the capacity of the BD-Live content servers can all affect how fast BD-Live  
content is downloaded. If you encounter slow downloading or intermittent playback, please play the disc without  
accessing the BD-Live features, or try again at a different time.  
When you use the BD-Live feature, the player or disc ID and your IP (Internet Protocol) address may be sent to  
the content provider via the Internet. Generally, no personally identifiable information is sent. However  
technologies exist to match your IP address to a certain geographical area or service provider. Your Internet  
service provider also has the knowledge of who is using a particular IP address. If the BD-Live content provider  
requires you to log in using a membership or account, the content provider will have access to your  
membership or account information. Check with your Internet service provider and the BD-Live content  
providers for their privacy policy.  
You can choose to restrict BD-Live Network Access in the Setup Menu (details on page 76).

Zooming and Aspect Ratio Control  
This feature zooms in and out of the displayed frame and also  
changes the aspect ratio (image width vs. height).  
ZOOM  
To change the zoom level, press the ZOOM button on the remote  
control. Each press of the ZOOM button will switch the zoom level in  
sequence.  
Zoom Levels for HDMI Output  
The available zoom levels depend on the TV Aspect Ratio setting in the Setup Menu and the encoded  
aspect ratio on the BD/DVD Disc:  
1:1 (No zoom), Stretch/Compress, Full Screen, Under Scan, 1.2X, 1.3X, 1.5X, 2X, 1/2X  
The zoom level is reset to 1:1 when the disc is ejected, or when the player is turned off.  
The following zoom levels may be useful for specific applications:  
1) Playing 16:9 BD or DVD when TV Aspect Ratio is set to 16:9 Wide or 16:9 Wide/Auto  
x
Stretch – The image is vertically stretched 1.33 times. For movies with 2.35:1 aspect ratio, this zoom  
level cuts off the black borders at the top and bottom of the image. Users of a projector with an  
anamorphic lens may find this mode helpful.

The “Under Scan” zoom level shrinks the image by 5%. This zoom level may be used to compensate for  
TVs that over scan, so the viewer can see the entire image area with no cropping. All other zoom levels  
are indicated by their respective zoom ratio.  
NOTE  
x
Some early DVD titles (released from 1997 until early 2000’s) use a 4:3 non-anamorphic  
widescreen aspect ratio. When played on a 16:9 display, the content is shown in a small window  
with black borders on all four sides. The top and bottom borders are encoded into the video. The  
left and right borders are added by the player to maintain the correct aspect ratio. For these types  
of discs, the Full Screen zoom mode can be used to eliminate the borders.  
x
The ZOOM feature may not be available when certain DVD or Blu-ray Discs are played if the  
disc’s author has chosen to disable ZOOM.

M E D I A F I L E P L A Y B A C K  
The BDP-103 can remotely play back music, photo, and video files stored on media devices that are  
connected to the same home network. You will need to prepare hardware such as a computer or NAS  
(Network Attached Storage) and install and configure software which is functionally equivalent to DLNA or  
SMB/CIFS (a network file sharing protocol) client. Set the My Network selection to On in the Setup Menu  
(details on page 76), press the HOME button on the remote to bring the Home Menu, select the Network  
icon and press ENTER button to show the list of available servers. In some case, you might need to  
disable the firewall on the hardware to allow BDP-103 to see the server.  
The BDP-103 player can perform network sharing in one of the following three ways:  
x
x
As a digital media player (DMP): the player can actively search, access and pull content from  
local media servers which is functionally equivalent to DLNA.  
As a digital media renderer (DMR): the player plays content received (“pushed”) from a digital  
media controller (DMC). A DMC-capable media server is required. Refer to the server’s  
respective user instructions for correct configuration and operation.  
x
Accessing a SMB/CIFS client: the player can directly access files shared through SMB/CIFS  
clients over the network, as if accessing an external USB hard drive. Most computers, especially  
those installed with Windows, already have an SMB client embedded. Please refer to respective  
OS instructions to set up the SMB/CIFS shared file/folder.  
NOTE  
x NAS is a networked appliance that provides file-based data storage services to other devices  
on the network. Commercial products are available on the market.  
x SMB (Server Message Block) or CIFS (Common Internet File System) is mostly known as  
Microsoft Windows Network. It does not require an extra media server or perform any media  
format transcoding, which reduces the processing load and keeps the original content quality.  
x Compatibility with local network sharing hardware/software is on a best effort basis with no  
guarantee, due to variations in NAS devices, media servers and their configurations.  
Internet Streaming on HOME Menu  
The BDP-103 presents a Home Menu to assist you in navigating and playing media files from an inserted  
optical disc, USB flash drive, external hard drive, home network sharing and internet streaming. Basically, the  
Home Menu is the starting point for accessing media files.

SETUP MENU OPTIONS  
The Setup Menu of the BPD-103 presents many setup and configuration options. For most users, the  
default configuration will be sufficient and you will not require any changes to the settings. However, if  
you need to configure the player to perfectly match your home theater setup and viewing preferences,  
please refer to the following sections for details about each configuration option.  
Using the Setup Menu System  
Like many other sections listed in this guide, the player’s Setup Menu allows you to make adjustments to  
match your specific audio/video configuration. When performing menu adjustments, we will use the following  
terminology to indicate the location of the desired function:  
Setup Menu Section > Menu Item > Selection  
Setup Menu Section is the uppermost Setup Menu level. Within the BDP-103, there are six Setup Menu  
sections listed in the left column of the Setup Menu: Playback Setup, Video Setup, Audio Format Setup,  
Audio Processing, Device Setup, and Network Setup.  
Menu Item is the parameter to be adjusted which appears in the center column of the Setup Menu. Once you  
enter a Setup Menu Section, the list of Menu Items and their current value are displayed in a box.  
Selection is the actual numeric or descriptive element that represents the change being made to the selected  
parameter. It is the item located to the right of its corresponding Menu Item.  
A Scroll Mark appears at the top or bottom of the menu when there are more Menu Items or Selections than  
what can fit in a screen. You may use the UP and DOWN ARROW buttons to scroll the display in order to  
access additional items.  
The preceding diagram should give a good description of the various elements and their context. In this screen  
we could, for example, instruct you to set the Auto Play Mode parameter to Off in the Playback Setup section.  
To indicate where we were, you would see the following: Playback Setup > Auto Play Mode > Off.

S E T U P M E N U O P T I O N S  
NOTE  
It is possible that some setup items may be grayed-out and inaccessible. This can be caused  
by a disc being played back or having changed a prerequisite setup item. Please stop  
playback or eject the disc before trying to change these setup items. If you still cannot access  
the setup item, please check for configuration conflicts and consistency. For example, if Video  
Setup > 3D Output is set to Off, the 3D Setting menu item will be grayed-out. Setting 3D  
Output to On (or Auto) will enable the 3D Setting menu.  
To access the player’s Setup Menu simply press the SETUP button on the remote control. Since some Setup  
Menu options can become inaccessible when a disc is being played, it is recommended that you operate the  
Setup Menu when playback is fully stopped or when there is no disc in the player.

2. Press the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons to  
select the section. Press the ENTER  
button or the RIGHT ARROW button to  
enter the selected section.  
3. Press the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons to  
select the setup item to be changed, and  
press the ENTER or RIGHT ARROW  
button to change the setting. When the  
scroll icon is shown at the top or bottom of  
the Setup Menu, it indicates that there are  
more menu items that can be accessed by  
scrolling with the UP/DOWN ARROW  
buttons.  
For example, in the Playback Setup  
section, you may use the UP/DOWN  
ARROW buttons to select the Auto Play  
Mode setup item, and press the ENTER  
button to change the Auto Play Mode  
setting.

HDMI 2 OUT as the dedicated audio output port. Th is setting will ensure the best possible  
picture quality and the highest possible audio resolution.  
x
Dual Display – Send digital audio and video signals to both HDMI Outputs simultaneously.  
This setting is only recommended when two HDMI displays are required, since the surround  
sound audio signal may be down-mixed to stereo and the original audio quality may be lost.  
NOTE  
x The player can automatically adjust the resolution of digital audio and video signals depending  
on the capabilities of the connected television and receivers.  
x For HDMI 1 OUT, the dedicated QDEO video processor will be used unless Source Direct is  
selected, in which case QDEO is bypassed.  
3. 3D Output: Allows you to choose the video output mode for 3D content.  
x
Auto – Outputs 3D if supported both by both the disc content and the display. The player  
automatically checks for the existence of 3D content on the disc and the 3D compatibility of  
the TV or projector. If both criteria are met, the player sends 3D video from its HDMI output  
terminals; otherwise, only 2D video is sent out. Active shutter 3D glasses (which are not sold  
by OPPO) are required to enjoy the 3D movie on your TV.  
x
x

6. TV System: Allows you to choose the output video system or broadcast standard (PAL/NTSC) to  
match the type of TV.  
x
x
x
NTSC (default) – When playing NTSC-encoded discs, no system conversion is performed.  
PAL-encoded content is converted to NTSC output. Blu-ray Discs encoded at a 24Hz frame  
rate are converted to a 60Hz frame rate if neither 1080p24 Output nor Source Direct output  
resolution is enabled.  
PAL – When playing PAL-encoded discs, no system conversion is performed. NTSC-  
encoded content is converted to PAL output. Blu-ray Discs encoded with a 24Hz frame rate  
are converted to a 50Hz frame rate if neither 1080p24 Output nor Source Direct output  
resolution is enabled.  
Multi-system – No system conversion is performed. The output video system is the same as  
that encoded on the disc. Blu-ray Discs encoded with a 24Hz frame rate are converted to a  
60Hz frame rate if neither the 1080p24 Output nor Source Direct output resolution is enabled.  
Requires a TV that supports both NTSC and PAL systems.  
NOTE  
DO NOT select Multi-system if your TV does not support both NTSC and PAL systems. The  
TV display may become a black screen when you insert a disc encoded in a different system  
than your TV supports. Should this happen, you can press the OPEN button to eject the disc  
tray, and then use the Setup Menu to correct the TV System setting.  
7. Output Resolution: Allows you to choose the output resolution that best matches your  
television’s native resolution. For a detailed description on how to choose a proper output  
resolution, please refer to the Select the Best Output Resolution section on page 22 of this  
manual.  
8. 1080p24 Output: Allows you to set the 1080p 24Hz output options. This option only applies to  
the HDMI output at 1080p resolution. Many Blu-ray Discs of theatrical movies are encoded using  
24Hz frame rate, the same number of frames per second as the original theatrical film. If the TV  
54  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
S E T U P M E N U O P T I O N S  
properly supports 1080p 24Hz, smoother motion can be achieved by enabling 1080p24 Output  
for these discs.  
x
Auto (default) – Video encoded at a 24Hz frame rate will be output as 1080p 24Hz if the TV  
informs the player that it can support the 1080p24 signal.  
x
On – Video encoded at a 24Hz frame rate will be output as 1080p 24Hz without regard to  
whether the TV can support the 1080p24 signal or not. This is useful if the TV can actually  
support 1080p24 but does not properly state its capability. Please note that if the TV cannot  
support 1080p24, selecting this option will result in no video.  
x
Off – Video encoded at a 24Hz frame rate will be converted to 60Hz (NTSC) or 50Hz (PAL)  
9. DVD 24p Conversion: Allows you to enable 24Hz frame rate conversion for DVD. This option is  
only available when 1080p24 Output is enabled (set to Auto or On). Many DVDs that originate  
from theatrical movies are encoded with a technique called “3:2 telecine” in order to convert the  
24 frames per second film to 60Hz video signal. The player can convert the 60Hz video signal  
back to 24 frames per second film and output as 1080P/24Hz. Smoother motion may be  
achieved by enabling this option, if both the TV and the DVD disc meet the conversion conditions.  
The available options are:  
x
On – Converts DVD to 24Hz frame rate when possible. Remember that motion errors may  
be observed if the DVD is not suitable for such conversion.  
x
Off (default) – Does not convert DVD to 24Hz frame rate.  
10. HDMI Options: Configures video options that apply only to the HDMI output. This item contains  
a sub-menu with multiple configuration options. Please refer to the HDMI Options section on  
page 59 of this manual for details of each option.  
11. Display Options: Configures the options for displaying on-screen information.  
x
Subtitle Shift – Sets the display position for subtitles.  
When the Subtitle Shift is set at 0 (default), subtitles are displayed at the original position as  
specified on the disc. When it is set at a value between 1 and 5, subtitles are shifted up.  
When it is set at a value between -1 and -5, subtitles are shifted down.  
This feature is helpful for customers using a 2.35:1 “Constant Image Height” video projection  
system. Subtitles can be shifted to the active video area so they do not get cut off. You can  
also press and hold the SUBTITLE button for 3 seconds to activate this selection.  
x
x
OSD Position – Allows you to set the display position for the on-screen display (OSD).  
When the OSD Position is set to 0, the OSD is shown at the top and bottom of the video

Angle Mark (On/Off) – Turns on/off the display of the angle icon when a DVD or Blu-ray  
Disc with multiple angles is played. Keeping the angle mark off avoids distraction from  
normal movie watching.  
Screen Saver – Allows you to turn on/off the screen saver function. The screen saver is  
designed to minimize burn-in concerns for plasma and CRT display devices.  
x
On (recommended) – After about 3 minutes of inactivity, the player will show an  
animated OPPO logo moving on a black background. This allows most areas of the  
screen time to rest and gives all areas an equal opportunity to refresh.

Off – The screen saver will not be activated. Only use this option if your TV does not  
have any burn-in issues.  
Energy Saver – Video output will be turned off after 3 minutes of inactivity. Many  
projectors and LCD TVs will go into a standby or sleep mode and turn off their projection  
lamp or LCD backlight lamp, thus saving energy and prolonging the lamp life. When you  
press any button on the OPPO remote control or the player’s front panel, the screen  
saver will be canceled and video output will be restored. If your TV is already in standby  
or sleep mode, you may need to wake up the TV by pressing a button on its remote or  
control panel.  
Picture Adjustment  
Picture Adjustment is a special section of the Video Setup menu. It allows you to fine tune many picture  
control parameters in order to achieve optimal picture quality. To enter the Picture Adjustment menu, press  
the SETUP button on the remote control to enter the player’s Setup Menu and choose Video Setup > Picture  
Adjustment and select the video output to be adjusted:  
Use the LEFT/RIGHT ARROW to select the video output, and press the ENTER button to bring up the Picture  
Adjustment menu. Depending on the selected video output, the Picture Adjustment menu may be slightly  
different:

Picture Adjustment Menu for HDMI 2  
To change a picture adjustment parameter, use the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons to highlight the  
parameter, and use the LEFT/RIGHT ARROW buttons to change its value.  
To aid in the adjustment of picture control parameters, the picture adjustment menu will be reduced to  
only show the parameter being adjusted once you press the LEFT/RIGHT ARROW buttons (except the  
Picture Mode, which you will directly see the mode name switches between Mode 1, 2 and 3, and all the  
other parameters are adjusted automatically to the stored value). The reduced menu will be positioned  
near the bottom of the screen.  
You can continue adjusting the current parameter by pressing the LEFT/RIGHT ARROW buttons. To  
select another parameter, press the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons. Press the ENTER button to return to  
the main Picture Adjustment menu.  
To exit the Picture Adjustment menu and return to the Setup Menu, either select Exit in the menu, or  
press the RETURN button.  
The following picture adjustment controls are available for both HDMI 1 and 2:  
1. Picture Mode: Allows you to choose a customized picture mode saved by you. The BDP-103  
allows you to save up to three customized modes. Press the LEFT/RIGHT ARROW buttons to  
switch the mode and all parameters will be automatically adjusted to their stored values.  
Changes to the current parameter values will be stored automatically when you exit the Picture  
Adjustment screen or switch to another Picture Mode.  
2. Brightness: Allows you to adjust the brightness (black level) of the video output.  
3. Contrast: Allows you to adjust the contrast (white level) of the video output.  
NOTE  
Proper brightness and contrast settings are necessary for a quality video output. If you do not  
have the correct black and white levels, your images can appear washed out or can lose detail  
in shadows when watching darker scenes. Televisions have brightness (black level) and  
contrast (white level) controls; however, it may require a combination of tweaking both the  
player and your television to get the optimal result. We recommend using a calibration disc  
such as the Spears & Munsil™ High Definition Benchmark Blu-ray Edition or Digital Video

Essentials HD Basics as aids for adjusting. First adjust the television’s picture controls for the  
best possible picture. Once that is done, try changing the player’s settings to further refine the  
picture to the optimal result.  
4. Hue: Allows you to adjust the hue (tint) of the video output.  
5. Saturation: Allows you to adjust the saturation (color intensity level) of the video output.  
6. Sharpness: Allows you to set the sharpness of video output. Sharpness (also called Detail/Edge  
Enhancement in previous OPPO players) is a video processing function that can control the  
image sharpness but at the same time may cause unwanted artifacts.  
For HDMI 1, the sharpness level can be set between -16 and +16. The default is level 0, which  
turns off sharpness enhancement. The negative levels may be used to reduce or eliminate overly  
sharpened video. However, the picture may appear soft. The positive levels increase the  
sharpness.  
At level 1, the player applies low level Detail Enhancement, during which the video  
processor isolates the detailed parts from the original image, processes them separately  
and integrates back before the final output.  
At level 2, the player increases Detail Enhancement to a higher level. Generally, to make an  
image “sharper”, we recommend using level 1 and 2.  
At level 3 and above, the player adds Luminance Transition Improvement (LTI) and Chroma  
Transition Improvement (CTI), which further sharpen the luminance transition and chroma  
transition. However, we do not recommend using level 3 and above unless the source  
content is poorly produced and blurry.  
For HDMI 2 OUT, the sharpness level can be set between 0 and +2. The default is level 0. The  
higher the level, the sharper the video details are. However, too high a sharpness level may  
cause white lines or halo-like effects to appear around objects.  
7. Noise Reduction: Allows you to select whether the player will apply video noise reduction  
processing.  
For HDMI 1, the noise reduction level can be set between 0 and 8. The default is level 0, which  
turns off noise reduction.  
When set to level 1, the player adjusts the picture quality by reducing the “mosquito noise”  
(artifacts around the outlines of objects) and “block noise” (mosaic-like patterns caused by  
video compression). These two noise reduction methods are also called Compression  
Artifacts Reduction (CAR) and have several levels of aggressiveness.  
When set to level 2, the player applies the Motion Adaptive Video Noise Reduction (VNR),  
which handles the random noise and the film-grain noise (natural variation of picture  
intensity caused by film grain). Its level is automatic because there is noise estimator  
circuitry in the video processor that calculates how much noise is present and adjusts the  
level of VNR accordingly.  
When set to 3 or 4, the player applies both CAR and Motion Adaptive VNR, with more  
aggressive “block noise” reduction at level 4.  
At level 5, the player applies aggressive CAR for low quality video content, and adds  
Motion Adaptive VNR at level 6.  
At level 7, the player applies the most aggressive CAR for very low quality video, and adds  
Motion Adaptive VNR at level 8.

S E T U P M E N U O P T I O N S  
Remember that excessive noise reduction may cause a loss of details. We recommend using  
the noise reduction function only when you encounter poorly encoded or compressed video that  
has apparent noise artifacts.  
For HDMI 2, the noise reduction level can be set between 0 and +3. The default is level 0. When  
this level is increased, the player adjusts the picture quality by applying mosquito noise  
reduction, random noise reduction and MPEG block noise reduction at the same time. The  
higher the level, the more aggressive noise reduction functions apply.  
The following picture adjustment controls are only available for HDMI 1 video output:  
8. Color Enhancement: Allows you to adjust the color enhancement level on the video output.  
This enhances certain colors in the spectrum and enables vivid colors in outdoor scenes without  
causing hue shifts, loss of detail or changes in skin tones.  
9. Contrast Enhancement: Allows you to adjust the contrast enhancement level on the video  
output. This expands detail in shadows.  
HDMI Options  
HDMI Options is a sub-menu of the Video Setup menu. It allows you to configure some video settings that are  
unique to the HDMI output. To enter this sub-menu, select HDMI Options from the Video Setup menu. To exit  
this sub-menu, press the RETURN button or the LEFT ARROW key. The following HDMI options are available:  
1. Color Space (HDMI 1) – Allows you to select the color space for the HDMI 1 output. The  
available options are:  
x
Auto (recommended) – The player checks with the display device to automatically  
determine what color space to use. If the display device supports YCbCr 4:4:4, then it will be  
used to avoid extra color space conversion.  
x
x
RGB Video Level – The HDMI output uses RGB color space and normal signal range  
suitable for video displays.  
RGB PC Level – The HDMI output uses RGB color space and expands the signal range.  
The expanded signal range is suitable for personal computer (PC) displays. Some TVs are  
designed to be used as a PC monitor, and expect signal in expanded RGB range when the  
DVI input is selected. For these displays if the video signal uses the normal RGB range, the  
black-white contrast will be reduced. You can set the player to use the RGB PC Level output  
and restore proper contrast.  
x
x
YCbCr 4:4:4 – The HDMI output uses YCbCr 4:4:4 color space.  
YCbCr 4:2:2 – The HDMI output uses YCbCr 4:2:2 color space. Generally this is the color  
space that is closest to the color space encoded on the discs. (All discs are encoded in  
YCbCr 4:2:0 color space, and the video decoder decodes it into YCbCr 4:2:2.)  
2. Color Space (HDMI 2) – Allows you to select the color space for the HDMI 2 output. The  
available options are the same as those for Color Space (HDMI 1).  
3. Deep Color (HDMI 1) – Allows you to select the Deep Color mode for the HDMI 1 output. Deep  
Color is an option for some TVs or projectors that feature HDMI v1.3 or higher input. Normally,  
each pixel of the video image is transmitted using 24-bit data (8-bit per channel for R, G, B or Y,  
Cb, Cr). If Deep Color is supported, each pixel of the video image can be transmitted using 30-bit  
(10-bit per channel) or 36-bit (12-bit per channel) data. The increased bit depth should result in  
smoother color transitions and better gradients.  
x
36 Bits – Uses the 36-bit per pixel Deep Color mode.

30 Bits – Uses the 30-bit per pixel Deep Color mode.  
Off (Dithered) – Does not use Deep Color, but applies the dithering technique.  
Off (default) – Does not use Deep Color.  
4. Deep Color (HDMI 2) – Allows you to select the Deep Color mode for the HDMI 2 output. The  
available options are the same as those for HDMI Deep Color (HDMI 1).  
NOTE  
x
x
x
Since the Deep Color feature is optional and may not be supported by all TVs, enabling  
Deep Color while connected to a TV without this feature may result in no effect or no  
video.  
At this time, no disc is encoded with Deep Color. Enabling Deep Color will not magically  
make colors richer, but will help preserve the maximum precision as a result of video  
processing and picture control adjustment.  
Dithering is a technique to improve the image color depth with limited color quantization.

Audio Format Setup  
The Audio Format Setup section of the Setup Menu allows you to configure preferences for audio output  
formats.  
1. Secondary Audio: Allows you to set the Secondary Audio Program mixing option. Some Blu-ray  
Discs contain a secondary audio and video program, such as a director’s commentary. Some  
Blu-ray Discs have a sound effect when you make menu choices. This Setup Menu item allows  
you to decide whether to mix the Secondary Audio Program and menu sounds into the primary  
audio.  
x
On – The Secondary Audio Program and menu sounds are mixed into the primary audio.  
Usually this will cause the primary audio volume to be slightly reduced.  
x
Off – The Secondary Audio Program and menu sounds are not mixed into the primary audio  
and you cannot hear the secondary audio or menu sounds. This setting preserves the  
highest possible audio quality for the primary audio.  
2. HDMI Audio: Allows you to select the digital audio output format from the HDMI port. The  
options are:  
x
x
Auto (default) – The player checks with the device connecting to the HDMI output to  
automatically determine which audio format to use.  
LPCM – Digital audio output via HDMI will be in the multi-channel Linear PCM format. When  
this option is selected, compressed audio bit streams will be decoded by the player. This  
setting is recommended when connecting the HDMI output directly to a TV or to a receiver  
without advanced audio decoding capabilities.  
x
Bitstream – Digital audio output via HDMI will be in bitstream format. This option is  
recommended when connecting the HDMI output to an A/V receiver or processor that  
supports advanced audio decoding, such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.  
x
Off – No digital audio output via HDMI.  
NOTE  
If you use HDMI to connect audio to an HDMI A/V receiver or audio processor, it is important  
that you choose 720p or higher HDMI output resolution when playing high resolution audio  
content (DVD-Audio, SACD, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio). According to the HDMI  
specification, the bandwidth available for audio is proportional to the total bandwidth used by  
video. At 480p/576p resolution, the HDMI specification can only support 2 channels of audio  
with high sample rate (up to 192kHz), or 8 channels of audio with standard sample rate (up to  
61  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
S E T U P M E N U O P T I O N S  
48kHz). If you play high resolution audio content at the 480p/576p resolution, you may get  
reduced audio resolution, incomplete audio channels, or even no audio/video output at all.  
Choosing a higher output resolution such as 720p or above allows enough bandwidth for all  
high sample rate audio channels.  
3. Coaxial/Optical Output: Allows you to set the audio format and the upper sample rate limit for  
coaxial/optical (S/PDIF) digital outputs. The upper sample rate limit is used to decide whether the  
player will down-sample audio (the player does not up-sample audio to higher sample rates).  
x
48k LPCM – Forces down-mixed 2-channel, linear PCM (LPCM) digital audio format, and sets  
the maximum sample rate to 48kHz. This is supported by most receivers/amplifiers.  
x
96k LPCM – Forces down-mixed 2-channel, linear PCM (LPCM) digital audio format and sets  
the maximum sample rate to 96kHz. It can result in better audio quality but ensure the  
receiver/amplifier can support it.  
x
x
192k LPCM – Forces down-mixed 2-channel, linear PCM (LPCM) digital audio format and sets  
the maximum sample rate to 192kHz. It can result in better audio quality but ensure the  
receiver/amplifier can support it.  
Bitstream – Passes audio as compressed bit-stream format to the receiver/amplifier. Choose  
this setting if your receiver/amplifier is capable of decoding Dolby Digital and/or DTS.  
NOTE  
Due to copyright restrictions and bandwidth limitations, SACD audio cannot be sent through the  
coaxial/optical audio output, and the high resolution audio on DVD-Audio and Blu-ray discs will  
be sent out at reduced resolution. Details can be found on page 17.  
4. SACD Output: Allows you to select HDMI the audio output format for SACD playback.  
x
PCM – SACD data is converted into multi-channel, high-resolution PCM data. The converted  
PCM data is then output through HDMI or the internal DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) for the  
analog audio output ports. If you use a receiver that supports HDMI v1.1 to listen to SACD,  
please select this option. You may also want to select this option if you prefer the sound quality  
of the DSD-to-PCM conversion.  
x
DSD – SACD Direct Stream Digital (DSD) data is output over HDMI without any conversion.  
For the analog audio outputs, DSD data is converted into an analog signal directly by the  
internal DAC. If you use a receiver that supports HDMI v1.2a with DSD over HDMI, or you  
prefer the sound quality of straight DSD to analog, please select this option.  
NOTE  
Due to the hardware limitation, DSD output is only available from the HDMI 2 OUT port. To listen  
to SACD using the HDMI 1 OUT port, please set SACD Output to PCM.  
5. HDCD Decoding: Allows you to set the audio decoding option for HDCD (High Definition  
Compatible Digital) discs.  
x
x
On – HDCD is decoded by the player. You can enjoy expanded dynamic range and improved  
audio resolution.  
Off – HDCD is treated as regular CD. This is useful when the player is connected to an HDCD-  
capable A/V receiver via a digital audio output link (Coaxial, Optical, or HDMI) so the A/V  
receiver can perform HDCD decoding.

NOTE  
If your receiver is capable of HDCD decoding, it is recommended that you set the HDCD  
Decoding setting to Off on the BDP-103 in order to avoid decoding HDCD twice. This will  
prevent the occasional pop or crackle sounds that occur when HDCD is decoded twice.

example, converting a 5.1ch source to stereo or converting a 7.1ch source to 5.1ch. Downmixing allows  
the audio output from the player to match the exact number of speakers available in your home theater.  
The current down mix mode is displayed in the lower right corner of the speaker placement illustration.  
To change the audio down mix setting, press the ENTER button while the cursor is over the Down Mix  
option. The following down mix modes are available:  
x
x
LT/RT – Left Total/Right Total. The center and surround channels are mixed into the two front  
channels according to the LT/RT matrix. A Dolby Pro Logic receiver will decode the two-channel  
audio into surround audio.  
Stereo – This mode down mixes multi-channel audio to 2-channel stereo output. For original  
stereo content the output will not change. For original multi-channel content the surround and  
center channels will be mixed with the left and right front channels. This is recommended for use  
with TV sets or stereo receiver/amplifiers.  
x
x
5.1Ch – This mode enables 5.1ch decoded audio output. The number of actual output channels  
depends on the disc. If the source content has more channels, the surround back channels will  
be mixed into the surround channels.  
7.1Ch – This mode enables 7.1ch decoded audio output. The number of actual output channels  
depends on the disc. For 6.1ch contents, the left and right surround back speakers will both  
output the same surround back audio channel.  
Test Tone  
Test tones are artificially-created sounds that are used to test your audio speaker system and help to identify  
any wiring faults. By default the Test Tone is set to Off, with the status displayed in the lower left corner of the  
screen.  
To begin the test, press the ARROW buttons to highlight the Test Tone option, and press the Enter button to  
change the test tone status to On. Press the ARROW buttons to select a speaker, and you will hear the test  
sounds. To stop the test process, press the ARROW buttons to highlight the Test Tone option and press the  
Enter button to switch the status back to Off. Please note these test tones only apply on multi-channel audio  
outputs.

Speaker Settings  
You can set the size, distance and trim level for each speaker by using the LEFT/RIGHT ARROW  
buttons to move the cursor to highlight the speaker and then press the ENTER button. The Speaker  
Settings menu on the right side of the screen will be activated. In Speaker Settings, use the UP/DOWN  
ARROW buttons to select a parameter, and then press the ENTER button to change it. To exit the  
Speaker Settings menu and return to the Speaker Configuration illustration, press the LEFT ARROW  
button or select the Exit option. You can also move on to configure the next speaker by selecting the  
Next Speaker option.  
The following speaker parameters can be configured:  
1. Size: The following speaker size parameters control bass filtering for the speakers.  
x
x
Large – All audio content is passed to the appropriate speaker.  
Small – All audio content, except for bass frequencies, is passed to the appropriate speaker.  
The purpose is to reduce possible distortion. If a subwoofer is available, bass frequencies are re-  
directed to the subwoofer, otherwise, they are discarded. The bass frequency upper limit is set  
by the Crossover Frequency selection in the Setup Menu (see page 71 for details).  
x
x
Off – Speaker for the corresponding position does not exist. Audio for the missing speaker is  
redirected to other speakers or discarded if redirection is not possible.  
On (for Subwoofer only) – Specifies that a subwoofer is available.  
NOTE  
The Size for Front, Surround and Surround Back speakers is configured in pairs. Changes to  
the size of one speaker will automatically change the other of the pair.  
2. Distance: The speaker distance parameters set delay control for the corresponding audio channel.  
The delay is to compensate for the audio propagation time difference caused by the placement of  
speakers.  
Speaker distance compensation is not required if the A/V receiver has the capability to adjust  
channel delay and compensate for speaker distance differences. However, if your receiver does not  
have such functions (most receivers do not offer these functions for their multi-channel analog input),  
you may adjust them through the player. Speaker distance delay is only applied if the player is  
decoding multi-channel audio. If you use bitstream audio output to your A/V receiver, the bitstream  
audio is not adjusted for speaker distance delay.

In the above diagram, measure the distance (in feet) from the primary listening position to the Front  
Left or Front Right Speaker. Enter the distance of the Front Speakers ( in the above picture) into  
the Speaker Configuration menu.  
Next, measure the distance (in feet) from center speaker ( ) to the listening position. Move the  
cursor to highlight the Center speaker in the Channel Delay setup page, and enter the distance (as  
close as possible) in feet. Repeat for each speaker in the system (Center, Surround Left, Surround  
Right, Surround Back Left, Surround Back Right and Subwoofer) as available. The player will insert  
appropriate delay to make sure sound waves from different speakers arrive at the listener at the  
same time.  
It is possible to independently set distances for each speaker. Speaker distances can be set to the  
actual spatial distance of the speakers.  
If the channel delay settings cannot match your speaker configuration, please set all distances to the  
same and use your receiver/amplifier to set the channel delay.  
3. Trim: The speaker trim level parameters sets the volume of each individual channel. Channel trim  
is generally not required since most A/V receivers have the capability to adjust channel trim and  
compensate for speaker sensitivity differences. However, if your receiver does not have such  
functions (many receivers do not support channel trim for their multi-channel analog inputs), you may  
adjust channel trim through the player. For most accurate results, it is recommended that you use  
test tones from a calibration disc, such as Digital Video Essentials HD Basics, and a SPL (Sound  
Pressure Level) meter. The trim level can be set to +/- 10dB in 0.5dB increments.  
NOTE  
x
Increasing the Trim Level above 0dB may result in distortion if the original audio level is  
already high. When this occurs the waveform becomes clipped and audible distortion can  
be heard. In this situation, it is necessary to reduce the Trim Level until the distortion is  
removed. When using the Trim Level for speakers, it is recommended that you set the  
least sensitive speaker’s Trim Level to 0dB, and set other speakers’ Trim Level to  
negative values.  
x
The Test Tone can be used in conjunction with the player’s trim control. Each speaker  
can be set to independent trim levels and there is no linked pair limitation.

Other Audio Processing Settings  
In addition to Speaker Configuration, Crossover Frequency and Dynamic Range Control are audio  
processing settings that can be configured:  
1. Crossover: Allows you to set the Bass Management kick-in frequency for all speakers. When the  
speaker size is set to Small in Speaker Configuration (see page 69), bass information below this  
frequency is not passed to the speakers to reduce possible distortion, and if the subwoofer is  
available, bass information will be redirected to the subwoofer. When all speaker sizes are set to  
Large, there is no Bass Management.  
x
40Hz / 60Hz / 80Hz / 90Hz / 100Hz / 110Hz / 120Hz / 150Hz / 200Hz / 250Hz – These are  
the available crossover frequencies. You can press the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons and the  
ENTER buttons to select it. This option applies to all speakers (center, front, surround, and  
surround back speakers). By default the crossover frequency is 80Hz.  
2. Dynamic Range Control: Allows you to set the Dynamic Range Compression (DRC). DRC can  
smooth out the sonic peaks and valleys common with wide-range digital audio. Enabling DRC may  
make low level audio more audible during low-level listening. Turning off DRC restores the sonic  
energy present in the original recording.  
x
x
x
Auto – Plays at the dynamic range specified by the disc. This option applies to certain Blu-  
ray Discs only, which have DRC instructions encoded in the Dolby TrueHD audio tracks.  
On – Turn on DRC for all Dolby and DTS audio formats. This option applies to all DVD and  
Blu-ray Discs.  
Off – Turn off DRC.  
NOTE  
Dynamic Range Compression is applied to the analog audio output and digital audio outputs (HDMI,  
Coaxial and Optical) when the audio format is set to PCM.  
3. DTS Neo:6 Mode: Allows you to enable DTS Neo:6 audio processing and select the listening mode.  
DTS Neo:6 is a digital signal processing that can expand the original stereo source to 7.0 (L, R, C, LS,  
RS, LR, RR) or 7.1 (with Bass Management) surround.  
x
x
x
Music – Enables DTS Neo:6 audio processing for stereo music sources.  
Cinema – Enables DTS Neo:6 audio processing for digital TV box or stereo movie sources.

1. Firmware Information: Displays the currently installed firmware version.  
2. Firmware Upgrade: Upgrades the player’s firmware. This operation is only available when the  
playback is completely stopped or when there is no disc loaded.  
The firmware is the system software that controls the features and functions of the player. Since the  
Blu-ray Disc specifications are new and evolving, it is possible that a Blu-ray Disc manufactured after  
the player was manufactured uses certain new features of the Blu-ray Disc specifications. To ensure  
the best possible viewing experience, the player may need a firmware update from time to time.  
instructions on installing the updates.  
There are three ways to upgrade the player’s firmware:  
x
x
x
Via USB – You may download the firmware files from the OPPO Digital web site to a USB  
drive and then use the USB drive to upgrade the player. Please follow the instructions on the  
firmware download web page.  
Via Disc – You may requests a firmware upgrade disc from OPPO Digital or download a disc  
image from the OPPO Digital web site and burn an upgrade disc. Please follow the  
instructions that come with the upgrade disc.  
Via Network – If the player has a working Internet connection (see pages 19 and 76), you  
may upgrade the player directly over the Internet. Please follow the instructions on your TV  
screen.  
3. Firmware Notification: Allows you to set whether the player should automatically check for new  
firmware versions on the Internet server and notifies you about new firmware.  
x
x

Requires a working network connection.  
Off – Does not check for new firmware version automatically.  
4. Remote Control Code: The BDP-103 can respond to one of four sets of remote control codes. The  
default is “Code 1”. If you have other OPPO products in the vicinity of the BDP-103, the other  
products may respond to the BDP-103 remote control. To prevent this, you can select a different  
remote code. The available codes are:  
72  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
S E T U P M E N U O P T I O N S  
x
x
Code 1 – OPPO disc player remote code is set to 1. This is the default remote code.  
Code 2 – OPPO disc player remote code is set to 2. Use this code if you have other OPPO  
products placed close to the BDP-103EU.  
x
x
Code 3 – OPPO disc player remote code is set to 3. Use this code if you have other OPPO  
products placed close to the BDP-103EU.  
Alt. Code – Alternative remote code. The alternative remote control code enables users to  
program their universal remote controls that come with TV, projector or A/V receiver to  
operate the OPPO player. If the universal remote control has a DVD player control function,  
please program it with the code for Toshiba, Philips, Magnavox, Marantz or Zenith DVD  
players. Since each brand of remote control may have several sets of codes, you may need  
to try several times using different codes to find a working code.  
If you have selected a new remote code, you must set the remote control handset to use the same code.  
Please refer to the Changing the Remote Code section on page 10 of this manual for details. If you have  
selected Alt. Code, the supplied handset will not operate the player, and you must use a universal remote  
control with the properly configured code set.  
5. HDMI CEC: Allows you to set the HDMI Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) mode. CEC is an  
optional HDMI feature that enables convenient remote control and automatic setup of consumer  
electronics over the HDMI connection. The remote control function allows you to use a single remote  
handset to operate multiple devices connected via HDMI. For example, you may use the TV remote  
to control playback of the Blu-ray Disc player. The automatic setup function can automatically turn on  
the TV and change to the proper input when you start playing a disc in the Blu-ray Disc player. It can  
also turn off the player automatically when you turn off the TV. The implementation and compatibility  
of this feature varies by device manufacturer. Each may only implement part of the features or add  
their own proprietary functions. The manufacturer-specific implementation of the HDMI CEC function  
is often given a proprietary name of “…Link” or “…Sync”. The BDP-103EU provides three HDMI CEC  
function modes for each of its HDMI outputs:  
x
x
HDMI 1 – HDMI CEC is enabled on HDMI 1 output. Use this mode if your other devices are  
compatible with the player.  
HDMI 1 (Limited) – HDMI CEC is enabled on HDMI 1 output, but the BDP-103EU will only  
respond to playback control commands. It will not respond or issue power on/off and input  
selection commands. Use this mode if you do not want the automatic setup function to turn  
on/off your devices.  
x
x
HDMI 2 – HDMI CEC is enabled on HDMI 2 output. Similar to HDMI 1.  
HDMI 2 (Limited) – HDMI CEC is enabled on HDMI 2 output, but the BDP-103EU will only  
respond to playback control commands. Similar to HDMI 1 (Limited).  
x
Off (default) – HDMI CEC feature is turned off on both HDMI output terminals. The player will  
not respond to HDMI CEC commands from other devices, nor will it setup other devices  
automatically.  
6.  
Standby Mode: Allows you to choose between two standby modes. In Energy Efficient mode, the  
player consumes a minimal amount of power but takes more time to get ready for operation after  
being turned on. In Quick Start mode, the player can start up significantly faster at the expense of  
additional power consumption during the standby period.  
x
Energy Efficient (default) – The player will take slightly longer to start up, but will  
consume less power in standby mode. This mode is recommended for regular use.
