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.

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 Lexicon’s web site www.Lexicon.com to check if updates

are available.

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.

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.

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.

PAL DVD

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 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 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

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.

If your TV supports the selected resolution, you will see a dialog

box with a countdown clock. Use the LEFT ARROW button to

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

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).

resolution can be changed “on the ﬂy”, it is recommended

that you stop playback and take out the disc before changing

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.

The output system selected with the P/N button will be

remembered when the player is turned off. The output system

selection can also be done by setting the “TV System” item in

the “Video Setup” section of the player’s Setup Menu. (Refer

to page 52 for details.)

The Setup Menu of the Lexicon Blu-ray Disc Player presents

many setup and conﬁguration options. For most users, the

default conﬁguration will be sufﬁcient and will not require any

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.

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

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.

•

16:9 Wide – 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 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.

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

them and selecting the one which does not result in

combing artifacts.

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^™

•

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 VRS^™video processing technology.

It can also be used as an aid for setting picture control

adjustments for Detail Enhancement, Edge Enhancement

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

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.

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

•

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

default is “Code 1”. If you have other products placed close

to the BD-30, the other products may respond to the BD-30

that are causing interference, you can select a different remote

code to avoid conﬂicts.

If you have selected a new remote code, you must set the

remote control handset to use the same code. Please refer

to the Setting the Remote Code section on page 12 of this

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

Exit

1. Dimmer Control: To control the display intensity of the front

panel Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) information window.

In case you feel that the display becomes a distraction to your

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:

•

Normal – On-screen display information stays on the TV

screen until the user cancels it.

•

On – HDMI CEC is enabled. Use this mode if your other

devices are compatible with the player.

•

Silent – On-screen display information shows on the

TV screen for a few seconds and then disappears. The

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.

connection (see page 20 and 70), you may upgrade

the player directly over the Internet. Please follow the

instructions on your TV screen.

•

nor will it set up other devices automatically.

5. Reset Factory Default: To reset all settings to the factory

default value. The remote control code, parental control

password and ratings will not be reset. This operation is only

available when the playback is completely stopped or when

there is no disc loaded.

7. Firmware Information: To display the currently installed

ﬁrmware version.

8. Persistent Storage: To manage the persistent storage for

BD-Video contents. The persistent storage is a data storage

area that holds additional contents for BonusView and

BD-Live features. The data will be kept even if you turn off

the player. The following persistent storage management

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

Lexicon’s web site www.Lexicon.com to check for ﬁrmware

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.

Note

The new storage device choice becomes effective only after the player

is restarted. Please make sure that you turn off the player and then

turn it back on after changing the “Storage Device” option.

Lexicon BD-30 Blu-ray Disc Player

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:

[<sp><Parameters>]<End of Command>

Signal

TXD

<Start of Command> = #, ASCII 0x23

<sp> = space, ASCII 0x20

RXD

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:

[<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.
