Precautions  
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the  
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and  
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that  
may cause undesired operation.  
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 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.  
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.  
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.

Cautions  
Setting the Remote Code  
Never drop the remote control or expose it to moisture.  
The remote control supports one of three remote codes. The  
default is “Code 1”. If you have other Lexicon products placed  
close to the BD-30, they may inadvertently respond to the BD-30  
remote control. In this case you can select a different remote code  
to avoid conflicts.  
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.  
To select a new remote code, open the battery compartment cover  
of the remote control, and then use a ballpoint 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 BD-30 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.  
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.

Installation  
Lexicon  
DVI Connection  
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 Lexicon 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 Lexicon 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 53 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.  
When the “Primary Output” is set to “Component,” the output resolution “Auto” is not supported.  
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/Processor and TV  
HDMI can transmit both audio and video signals over a single cable. If you have an HDMIcapable 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.  
Note  
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.

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:  
Select the Best Output Resolution  
One of the major advantages of the Lexicon Blu-Ray Disc Player 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. To get the best visual result, it is important to select an  
output resolution that best matches your TV or display device.

Source Direct Output Resolution  
480i  
576i  
Most Blu-ray Movies (film-source) 1080p 23.976Hz or 1080p 24Hz  
The rule of thumb when selecting an output resolution is to match  
the “native resolution” of your TV or display device 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 DLPchip. The TV may accept input signals with lower  
or higher resolutions than its native resolution. In such cases the  
electronics in the TV will up-scale or downscale the video to fit its  
display component. Unfortunately many TVs on the market only  
do an average job scaling the video. On the other hand, if you set  
the Lexicon Blu-ray Disc Player 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.  
Most Blu-ray TV shows or

Concerts (video-source)

Depending on your selection of “Primary Video Output”, the  
available output resolution selections will differ. For the HDMI  
output, the following output resolutions are available: Auto,  
1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p/576p, 480i/576i, and Source Direct.  
If “Auto” is selected, the player will determine its output resolution  
based on the best signal resolution that the TV can display.  
For the latest generation of 1080p, “Full HD” or “True HD”  
displays, the best output resolution will naturally be 1080p. (A few  
early model 1080p displays do not accept 1080p signal. For these  
displays the best output resolution to use is 1080i.) For all other  
digital televisions this will likely be 720p. For CRT tube or rear  
projection televisions this will likely be 1080i. For EDTV displays  
(very rare if they have HDMI or DVI) this will be 480p. 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 visual result.

Video up-conversion over the component output is only available  
for unencrypted discs such as home video and consumer-created

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.  
For the component output, the following output resolutions are

Press the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons to select the desired output  
resolution, then press the ENTER button. The player will apply the  
selected output resolution and ask you to confirm the selection.  
If your TV supports the selected resolution, you will see a dialog  
box with a countdown clock. Use the LEFT ARROW button to  
highlight the “OK” option and press the ENTER button to save  
the resolution setting. If your TV does not support the selected  
resolution, you may see a black screen or an error message. In  
this case please wait for 15 seconds and the Easy Setup screen will  
reappear. Select a different resolution that your TV can support.  
The 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 almost all Blu-ray Discs and many DVD discs are released in  
the wide screen format, it is highly recommended that you use a  
wide screen TV with the player.  
The Aspect Ratio selections are 4:3 Letterbox, 4:3 Pan & Scan,  
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:

BD-Live  
Some Blu-ray Disc titles are released with the  
BD-Live feature. BD-Live offers extra downloadable  
contents and additional online interactive  
programs. The available BD-Live contents vary by discs and  
studios, and may include additional subtitles, commentaries,  
preview trailers, games, and online chat. The player needs to  
be connected to the Internet in order to play BD-Live contents  
(see page 20).  
Depending on how the studios organize their BD-Live contents,  
some Blu-ray Discs may start downloading BD-Live contents when  
playback starts; some have a BD-Live selection on its main menu;  
some may show a prompt to ask whether you would like to start  
downloading; and some may 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, the overall Internet traffic situation  
and the capacity of the BD-Live content servers can all affect how  
fast BD-Live contents can be 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 which IP  
address. If the BD-Live content provider requires you to login using  
a membership or account, the content provider will have access to  
your membership or account information. Please check with your  
Internet service provider and the BD-Live content providers for  
their privacy policy.  
You can choose to restrict BD-Live access using the player’s Setup  
Menu (see page 71).

that you stop playback and take out the disc before changing  
the output resolution. Press the RESOLUTION button. A

Press the P/N button on the remote control to cycle the video  
output to PAL, NTSC or “Multi” system. The TV screen displays the  
selected system name.  
Some points to keep in mind:  
When the video output is set to PAL or NTSC system, the  
player will convert the disc content to the selected system.  
4. Use the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons to select the new  
output resolution. You may also press the RESOLUTION  
button multiple times to cycle through the available output  
resolutions. The new resolution is displayed on the front panel  
just in case you cannot see the “Resolution Setting” menu.  
When the video output is set to “Multi”, the player will not  
perform system conversion. The “Multi” mode is only to be  
used if your TV supports both NTSC and PAL systems.  
Most TV sets only support one of the NTSC or PAL systems. If  
the wrong output is selected, the TV may not display a picture.  
In this case repeatedly press the P/N button until a supported  
system is selected.  
5. Press the ENTER button to apply the selected output  
resolution. Or, if you do not want to change the output  
resolution, press the RETURN button to exit.

and photos stored on an optical disc (recordable CD or DVD) or a  
USB drive. Due to the variation of media, encoding software and  
techniques used, compatibility cannot be guaranteed for all user-  
created or downloaded contents. Support for such contents is on a  
best-effort basis.  
The Home Menu  
When a USB drive or an optical  
disc stored with media files is  
inserted, the player presents a  
“Home Menu” to assist you in  
navigating and playing the files.  
You can also bring up the Home  
Menu with the HOME button on  
the remote control. The Home  
Menu is the starting point for  
accessing media files.  
Playback from a USB Drive  
The Lexicon BD-30 Blu-ray Disc  
Player is equipped with two USB  
ports, one on the front panel and  
the other on the back. You may use  
HOME  
either to plug in a USB drive stored  
USB  
Device  
with digital music, movie and photo  
files.

The USB ports are rated to provide a maximum of 5V, 500mA  
power to the USB drive. It is sufficient for all USB thumb drives and  
flash memory card readers, but may not be sufficient for USB hard  
disks. It is recommended that you use a USB hard disk with an  
external power supply.

This unit supports “USB Mass Storage Class Bulk-Only Transport”  
devices only. Most USB thumbs drives, portable hard disk drives  
and card readers conform to this device class. Other USB devices  
such as MP3 players, digital cameras, and mobile phones may not  
be compatible.  
There are four selections in the Home Menu. Depending on  
what type of media files that you intend to play, you can choose  
among the “Music,” “Movie” and “Photo” categories. The “Setup  
Menu” selection will bring you to the player’s Setup Menu just like  
pressing the SETUP button on the remote control.  
Supported USB drives must be formatted with the FAT (File  
Allocation Table) or FAT32 file system. Drives formatted with NTFS

changes to the settings. However, if you need to configure the  
player to perfectly match your home theater settings and viewing  
preferences, please refer to the following sections for details about  
each configuration option.

Menu Section, the list of Menu Items and their current value are  
displayed in a box.  
Note  
It is possible that some setup items are grayed-out and inaccessible.  
This can be caused by disc still being played back or interlocking with  
mutually exclusive setup items. 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 > 1080p24 Output” is set to “Off”,  
the “DVD 24p Conversion” menu item will be grayed-out.  
Setting “1080p24 Output” to “On” will enable the “DVD 24p  
Conversion” setting.  
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 Icon appears at the top or bottom of the menu when  
there are more Menu Items or Selections than what can fit in a

4:3. A widescreen image is displayed in “letterbox” format  
with black borders on top and bottom.  
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 upon  
inserting 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.  
4:3 Pan & Scan – Choose this when the display is standard

16:9. 16:9 materials will be displayed in its native aspect  
ratio, and 4:3 materials will be stretched horizontally.  
5. Output Resolution: 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 23 of this manual.  
16:9 Wide/Auto – Choose this when the display is  
widescreen 16:9. 16:9 materials will be displayed in its  
native aspect ratio, and 4:3 materials will be displayed  
with black borders on both sides in order to maintain the  
original 4:3 aspect ratio.  
6. 1080p24 Output: To set 1080p 24Hz output options. This  
option only applies to the HDMI output at 1080p resolution.  
Many Blu-ray Discs that originated from theatrical movies are  
encoded using 24Hz frame rate, the same number of frames  
per second as the original theatrical film. If the TV properly  
supports 1080p 24Hz, smoother motion can be achieved  
by enabling 1080p24 Output for such discs. The available  
options are:  
For a detailed description on how to choose a proper TV  
Aspect Ratio, please refer to the Determine the Display Aspect  
Ratio section on page 24 of this manual.  
4. TV System: To choose the output video system or broadcast  
standard (PAL/NTSC) to match the type of TV. The options are:  
NTSC (default) – When playing NTSC-encoded discs, no  
system conversion is performed. PAL-encoded contents  
are converted to NTSC output. Blu-ray Discs encoded  
with 24Hz frame rate are converted to 60Hz frame rate  
if neither 1080p24 Output nor Source Direct output  
Auto (default) – Video encoded in 24Hz frame rate will be  
output as 1080p 24Hz if the TV informs the player that it  
can support the 1080p24 signal.  
54  
Setup Menu Options  
BD-30 Blu-ray Disc Player  
On – Video encoded in 24Hz frame rate will be output  
technology from VRS(Video Reference Series) by Anchor  
Bay for its HDMI output. A proper de-interlacing mode will  
ensure the output video matches the original contents and  
is free of de-interlacing artifacts. The available options are:  
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.  
Auto – Source adaptive de-interlacing is on. This is the  
recommended setting as it sets the player to optimally  
process a variety of signal types.  
Off – Video encoded in 24Hz frame rate will be converted  
to 60Hz (NTSC) or 50Hz (PAL).  
Film Bias Mode – The Film Bias Mode may improve  
film mode detection in some cases.  
7. DVD 24p Conversion: To set 24Hz frame rate conversion  
for DVD. This option only applies to the HDMI output and is  
available only when 1080p24 Output is enabled (set to Auto  
or On). Many DVDs that originated from theatrical movies are  
encoded using a method called “3:2 telecine” 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  
and output as 1080p 24Hz. Smoother motion can be achieved  
by enabling this option, provided that the TV and the disc  
both meet the conditions for the conversion. The available  
options are:  
Video Mode – Turn off film mode detection and treat  
all contents as video origin. Deinterlacing is done by  
weaving two video fields into a video frame. Use this  
setting if you are certain the disc is made from footage  
originally shot with a video camera, and not with a  
film camera.  
2:2 Even – This mode should be used when you know  
that the source is high-quality 2:2 pull-down (i.e.,  
film-based content played back in a country with a  
50Hz video standard) and you want to avoid any loss  
of cadence lock while watching that source. This mode  
weaves two adjacent fields together, starting with an  
even field and combining it with the following odd  
field. This will provide a higher quality overall signal  
than the ‘Auto’ or ‘Film Bias Mode’ settings, providing  
that the source really is a 2:2 pull-down and does not  
have bad edits.  
On – Convert DVD to 24Hz frame rate when possible.  
Off – Do not convert DVD to 24Hz frame rate.  
Note  
The result of DVD 24p Conversion depends heavily on the quality of  
the content. If the video encoded on the DVD contains incorrect 3:2  
cadence, cadence breaks caused by edits, or heavy compression noise  
that can affect cadence detection, the result may have motion judder  
or frame tearing. Should this happen, you need to turn off DVD 24p  
Conversion and watch the DVD in its original frame rate.  
2:2 Odd – This mode is very similar to “2:2 Even”  
except that this weaves two adjacent fields together  
starting with an odd field and combining it with the  
following even field. Only one of the 2:2 de-interlacing  
settings is correct for any given source and the  
correct mode can be chosen by simply trying both of

8. HDMI Options: To configure video options that are unique  
to the HDMI output. This item contains a sub-menu with the  
following settings:  
De-interlacing Mode – To select the type of de-interlacing  
algorithm that the player should use to convert interlaced  
video on a DVD or Blu-ray Disc to progressive output.  
The Lexicon BD-30 utilizes the Precision De-interlacing™  
CUE-Correction – To select whether the player should  
apply chroma filtering to remove Chroma Up-sampling  
55  
Setup Menu Options  
Lexicon  
YCbCr 4:4:4 – The HDMI output uses YCbCr 4:4:4  
Errors (CUE) and Interlaced Chroma Problem (ICP). CUE  
is caused by improper decoding and de-interlacing of  
MPEG encoded video. The Lexicon BD-30 is free of the  
CUE problem. ICP is caused by the encoding process for  
interlaced video, so you may encounter it on some DVD  
and Blu-ray Discs. The CUE-Correction function can detect  
and filter out the errors. The available options are:  
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.)  
Auto (Recommended) – Automatic chroma error  
detection and correction. Use this setting when you  
are not sure if the disc has chroma errors.  
HDMI Deep Color – Deep Color is an OPTION for some  
TVs or projectors that feature HDMI v1.3 inputs. 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.  
The available options are:  
On – Chroma filtering is always on. Use this setting if  
the disc is known to have chroma errors.  
Off – No chroma filtering is applied. Use this setting if  
the disc does not have chroma errors.  
Color Space – To select the color space for the HDMI  
output. The available options are:  
30 Bits – Use the 30-bit per pixel Deep Color mode.  
36 Bits – Use the 36-bit per pixel Deep Color mode.  
Off – Do not use Deep Color.  
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.  
Note  
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.  
RGB Video Level – The HDMI output uses RGB color  
space and normal signal range suitable for video  
displays.  
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.  
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.  
Demo Mode – To enable a special split-screen  
demonstration mode. This is designed for the  
demonstration of VRSvideo processing technology.  
It can also be used as an aid for setting picture control  
adjustments for Detail Enhancement, Edge Enhancement  
and Noise Reduction. It should NOT be used for normal  
movie watching. The available options are:

higher the level, the sharper the video details are. However,  
too high a sharpness level may cause white line etching  
around objects. Detail Enhancement can be used together  
with Edge Enhancement to achieve an optimal result.  
To exit the Picture Adjustment menu and return to the Setup  
Menu, either select “Exit” or press the RETURN button.  
6. Edge Enhancement (Edge-Qualified Sharpness): To set the  
sharpness of object edges in the video. Edge enhancement  
level can be set between -16 and +16. The default is level 0.  
Level 0 turns off edge enhancement. The negative levels  
reduce the sharpness of object edges. The positive levels  
sharpen object edges. Edge Enhancement can be used  
together with Detail Enhancement to achieve an  
optimal result.  
The following picture adjustment controls are available:  
1. Brightness: To adjust the brightness (black level) of the video  
output.  
2. Contrast: 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  
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.  
Detail Enhancement and Edge Enhancement produce similar  
results, but there are subtle differences. Detail Enhancement  
works best when the source material is “clean” and free  
from noise. Edge Enhancement works well for less pristine  
sources. It produces a sharpening effect without making  
noise more visible.  
It is also possible to adjust these two controls in different  
directions to achieve optimal results from certain “difficult”  
materials. You may use Detail Enhancement to bring up detail  
in the entire image but, if you find that object edges are over  
enhanced, you can apply negative Edge Enhancement to  
reduce the over-enhancement of the edges.  
3. Hue: To adjust the hue (tint) of the video output. This  
control only applies to analog video output (component and  
composite).  
Sharpness (Detail/Edge Enhancement) is a video processing  
function that can produce a sharper-looking picture but at  
the same time may cause unwanted artifacts. The Lexicon  
BD-30 Blu-ray Disc Player utilizes the fine detail and edge  
enhancement technology from VRS(Video Reference Series)  
by Anchor Bay for its HDMI output. This technology provides  
fine control to achieve an optimal balance between enhancing  
sharpness and minimizing unwanted artifacts. If the source  
content is properly produced, we generally recommend  
leaving these controls at level 0.  
4. Saturation: To adjust the saturation (color intensity level) of  
the video output.  
5. Detail Enhancement (Sharpness): To set the sharpness of  
video output. Detail enhancement level can be set between  
-16 and +16. The default is level 0. Level 0 turns off detail  
enhancement. The negative levels may be used to reduce or  
eliminate overly sharpened video; however, the picture may

7. Noise Reduction: To select whether the player shall apply  
video noise reduction processing. Noise reduction levels can  
be set between 0 and 8. The default is level 0, which turns  
off noise reduction. When set to a smaller positive level, the  
player adjusts the picture quality by reducing the “mosquito  
noise” (artifacts around the outlines of objects). When set to  
a high level between 6 and 8, the player also uses detail and  
edge enhancement controls to reduce “block noise” (mosaic-  
like patterns caused by video compression) and “film grain  
noise” (natural variation of picture intensity caused by film  
grain). 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.

8. Y/C Delay: To adjust the time difference between the  
Luminance (Y) and Chrominance (Pb/Pr or Cb/Cr) channels of  
the video signal. When there is a significant lag between the  
channels, the image will look “smeared” because the color  
component is not lining up properly to the black and white  
luminance component. Adjust the Y/C delay setting only when  
the TV or projector has a Y/C delay problem. For a display  
device that normally does not have Y/C alignment problems,  
keep the Y/C delay setting at its default level of 0. The Y/C  
delay setting applies to the HDMI output only.

1. Secondary Audio: To set the Secondary Audio Program  
mixing option. Some Blu-ray Discs contain a secondary audio  
and video program, such as the 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 clicking sound  
into the primary audio. The options are:  
9. Border Level: To set the brightness level of the border area  
when borders are inserted by the player to maintain correct  
aspect ratio. The default level is 0, which corresponds to  
total black. If you set it to a positive level, the bars gradually  
become lighter grey instead of black. This setting may be  
useful for users with Plasma or CRT TVs that are sensitive to  
“burn-in”. A grey border setting allows the phosphor in the  
bar area to be moderately used, and can alleviate the burn-in  
problem. The Border Level setting only applies to the HDMI  
output, and only affects borders inserted by the player. If  
the borders are encoded in the original video, the border  
brightness level will not be affected by this setting.  
On – The Secondary Audio Program and menu clicking  
sound are mixed into the primary audio. Usually this will  
cause the primary audio volume to be slightly reduced.  
High resolution primary audio will be converted to a  
normal resolution in order to mix with the secondary  
audio.  
Off – The Secondary Audio Program and menu clicking  
sound are not mixed into the primary audio and you  
cannot hear the secondary audio or menu clicking sound.  
This setting preserves the highest possible audio quality for

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.  
LPCM – Digital audio output via HDMI will be 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.  
DSD – SACD DSD data is output over HDMI without any  
conversion. For the analog audio outputs, DSD data is  
converted into 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.  
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.  
4. Coaxial/Optical Output: To set the output format for the  
coaxial/optical digital audio output for use with Dolby Digital  
and DTS-compatible receivers. The options are:  
Off – No digital audio output via HDMI.  
LPCM – Forces down-mixed 2-channel digital audio  
output. Choose this setting if your receiver/amplifier only  
supports stereo digital (PCM) audio.  
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 (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 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.  
Bitstream – Passes audio as compressed bitstream format  
to the receiver/amplifier. Choose this setting if your  
receiver/amplifier is capable of decoding Dolby Digital  
and/or DTS.  
5. LPCM Rate Limit: To set the maximum Linear PCM output  
frequency for the coaxial/optical digital output. This menu  
item is intended to ensure that the audio output is compatible  
with equipment that cannot support high sample rates. It sets  
an upper limit to decide whether the player shall down-sample  
audio. The player does not up-sample audio to higher sample  
rates. The options are:  
48K – Supported by most equipment.  
96K – Allows a higher sampling rate and frequency  
response. It can result in better audio quality. Ensure that  
the receiver/amplifier can support it.  
3. SACD Output: To select audio output format for SACD. The  
options are:  
PCM – SACD Direct Stream Digital (DSD) 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  
192K – Allows the highest sampling rate and frequency  
response. It can result in the best audio quality. Ensure that  
the receiver/amplifier can support it.

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. Recommended for use with TV sets or  
stereo receiver/amplifiers.  
Down Mix Mode  
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.  
Down mix is the process of converting multi-channel audio to  
a lesser number of channels. For example, converting a 5.1ch  
source to stereo or converting a 7.1ch source to 5.1ch. Down  
mixing allows the audio output from the player to match the exact  
number of speakers available in your home theater.  
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.  
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:

bass frequencies are redirected to the subwoofer.  
Speaker Settings  
For each speaker in the home theater system, you can set its size,  
distance and trim level. To configure a speaker, move the cursor  
to highlight the speaker and press the ENTER button. The Speaker  
Settings menu on the right side of the screen will be activated. In  
the Speaker Settings menu, 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.  
On (for subwoofer only) – Specify that a subwoofer is  
available.  
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.  
Note  
The front, surround and surround back speakers are configured as  
pairs. Changes to the size of one speaker will automatically change  
the other speaker of the pair.

Speaker distance compensation is not required if the A/V  
receiver or processor 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  
or processor, the bitstream audio is not adjusted for speaker  
distance delay.

Since the delay is calculated based on the distance difference  
from each speaker to the listener’s position, it is important  
to set the distance for the front speakers first and then  
the other speakers. Anytime you change the distance of  
the front speakers, the distance of the other speakers will  
be automatically adjusted to maintain the same distance  
difference.  
The following speaker parameters can be configured:  
1. Size: The speaker size parameter sets bass filtering control for  
the speakers. The bass crossover frequency is fixed at 80Hz.

For example, in the above diagram, measure the distance (in feet)  
from the primary listening position to the Front Left or Front Right  
Speaker. Your Front Right and Left speakers should measure the  
same distance. If they do not, please adjust them if possible. Enter  
the distance of the Front Speakers (1 in the above picture) into the  
“Speaker Configuration” menu.  
Next, measure the distance (in feet) from center speaker (2) 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, Left Surround, Right Surround, Left Surround Back, Right  
Surround Back and Subwoofer) as available. The player will insert  
appropriate delay to the center, subwoofer and surround channels  
to make sure sound waves from different speakers arrive at the  
listener at the same time.  
Settings:  
Front Speakers – 12ft  
Center Speaker – 10ft

Other Audio Processing Settings  
In addition to Speaker Configuration, two other audio processing  
settings are available:  
1. Dolby Pro Logic II: Dolby Pro Logic II processing can expand  
2-channel source audio into full 5-channel surround sound.  
Note: Pro Logic II functionality is effective only when Speaker  
Configuration > Down Mix Mode is set to “5.1Ch” or  
“7.1Ch”. The available options are:  
Music – The surround experience is tailored for multi-  
channel music playback.  
Movie – Emphasis is given to the center channel as two-  
channel audio is decoded and played back into your 5.1  
system.  
Settings:  
Front Speakers – 12ft  
Off – No Dolby Pro Logic II processing.  
2. Dynamic Range Control: 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. The available options are:  
Center Speaker – 12ft  
Subwoofer – 12ft  
Left Surround – 12ft

Right Surround Back – 12ft  
Auto – Play at the dynamic range specified by the disc.  
This option applies to Blu-ray Discs only. For other disc  
types no dynamic range compression is applied.  
3. Trim Level: The speaker trim level parameter sets the volume  
of each individual channel. Channel trim is generally not  
required since most A/V receivers and processors have the  
capability to adjust channel trim and compensate for speaker  
sensitivity differences. However, if your receiver or processor

4. HDMI CEC: To set 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 Lexicon BD-30  
Blu-ray Disc Player provides three modes for the HDMI  
CEC function:  
Dim front panel display

enjoyment of the video, this option allows you to dim it or  
turn it off. The available options are:  
On – The VFD window is at normal brightness.  
Dim – The VFD window is at reduced brightness.  
Off – The VFD window is turned off. In this mode the  
display resumes momentarily when there is any user  
operation.  
2. OSD Mode: To select how long the on-screen display  
information, such as elapsed or remaining time, stays on the  
TV screen. The available options are:

options are available:  
6. Firmware Upgrade: To upgrade 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. Please visit  
updates and instructions on installing the updates.  
Storage Device – To select which storage device should  
be used as the persistent storage. The Lexicon BD-30 is  
equipped with 1GB of internal flash memory. There are  
two USB ports on the player that can accept a USB drive to  
be used as the persistent storage. The choices are:  
Internal Flash – Use the internal flash memory for  
persistent storage.  
USB Drive – Use a USB drive for persistent storage.  
To meet the specification for BD-Live, a USB drive  
of 1GB or larger is required. A USB hard disk is not  
recommended.  
There are three ways to upgrade the player’s firmware. The  
options are:  
Via Disc – You may request a firmware upgrade disc or  
download a disc image from Lexicon’s web site and burn  
an upgrade disc. Please follow the instructions that come  
with the upgrade disc.

RS-232 Control Protocol  
Command Structure:  
Each command starts with a # sign (ASCII 0x23), followed by a  
3-character command code. If there are any parameters for the  
command, the parameters are given in text format, separated by  
a space (ASCII 0x20) from the command code. The # character  
(ASCII 0x23) must never appear in the parameters. A carriage  
return (ASCII 0x0d) indicates the end of the command. Each  
command must not exceed 25 bytes including the start of  
command and end of command bytes.  
The Lexicon BD-30 Blu-ray Disc Player can be ordered with an  
RS-232 option for wired remote control. The RS-232C port is  
configured as a DCE device using a female 9-pin D-Sub type  
connector.  
RS-232 Pin Configuration:  
The pin out of the BD-30 RS-232C port is as follows:  
The illustration of the command structure is as follows:  
<Command> = <Start of Command><CommandCode>  
[<sp><Parameters>]<End of Command>  
Pin  
2
Signal  
TXD  
<Start of Command> = #, ASCII 0x23  
<Command Code> = <byte><byte><byte>  
<sp> = space, ASCII 0x20  
3
RXD  
5
GND  
<Parameters> = command-specific  
<End of Command> = CR, ASCII 0x0d  
This pin configuration allows a PC running a serial terminal  
program (such as Hyper Terminal) to communicate with the player  
using a straight-through DB9 9-pin RS-232 serial cable. Do NOT  
use a “Null-Modem” type cable for PC connection. For connection  
to a remote control system, please refer to the documentation that  
comes with the remote control system.  
Response Structure:  
Upon receiving a command, the player shall try to execute the  
command and send back a response. The response starts with  
an “@” sign (ASCII 0x23), followed by a result code, either “OK”  
or “ER”. If there are any parameters or additional message, the  
parameters or message is given in text format, separated by a  
space (ASCII 0x20) from the result code. The @ character (ASCII  
0x40) must never appear in the parameters or message. A carriage  
return (ASCII 0x0d) indicates the end of response. Each response  
must not exceed 25 bytes including the start of response and the  
end of response bytes.  
Communication Settings:  
The RS-232 control port of the Lexicon BD-30 uses the following  
communications settings:  
Baud Rate: 9600  
Data Bits: 8  
Parity: None  
Stop Bit: 1  
Flow Control: None

The illustration of the response structure is as follows:  
Command List:  
<Response> = <Start of Response><Result Code>  
[<sp><Parameters>]<End of Response>  
A. Command that maps to a remote control button  
This group of commands maps directly to the infrared remote  
control keys. No parameters are needed for these commands. The  
player handles the commands as if it receives the same IR remote  
commands. For actions that require multiple key sequence, such  
as go to a certain chapter (GOT command followed by multiple  
numeric key commands and the SEL command), the player  
responds to each command individually until the last command is  
received. At that time the player shall respond with either OK or ER  
depending on the result of the action.  
<Start of Response> = @, ASCII 0x40  
<Result Code> = OK|ER  
<sp> = space, ASCII 0x20  
<Parameters> = command-specific  
<End of Response> = CR, ASCII 0x0d  
Command Sequence:  
Commands are executed in the order they are received. The host  
should wait for a response from the player before sending the next  
command.
