Precautions
x

Before connecting the AC power cord to the appliance,
make sure the voltage designation of the appliance
corresponds to the local electrical supply. If you are
unsure of your power supply, contact your local power
company. The acceptable power input range is AC ~
100V-240V, 50/60Hz.
The apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be
connected to a MAINS socket outlet with a protective
earthing connection.
The player is still receiving power from the AC power
source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet,
even if the player itself has been turned off.
Unplug the power cord if you are not going to use the
product for an extended period of time. Hold the power
plug when unplugging. Do not pull on the cord.
The main plug is used as the mechanism for cutting off
power, therefore make sure it is easy to unplug.

To ensure proper ventilation around this product, do not
place this product on a sofa, bed or rug. When installing
this product on a wall or bookshelf, you need to provide
appropriate space: we recommend leaving 4 inches (10
cm) of free space at the top, the sides and the rear.
High temperature will lead to abnormal operation of this
unit. Do not expose this unit or batteries to direct sunlight
or near other heating objects.
When moving the player from a cold location to a warm
one, or vice versa, moisture may condense on the laser
pickup unit inside the player. Should this occur, the
player may not operate properly. In such a case please
turn the unit on for 1-2 hours (without a disc) to facilitate
moisture evaporation.

Discs that cannot be played
BDs with cartridge
DVD-RAMs
HD-DVDs
Data portion of CD-Extras
DVDs / Blu-Rays with a region code other than 1 or A

Some Dual-Discs: A Dual-Disc is a two-sided disc with
DVD-video on one side and digital audio on the other
side. The digital audio side does not meet the technical
specifications of the Red Book CD format so playback is
not guaranteed.
Audio discs with copy-protection may not be playable.

Notes about BD-ROM compatibility
Since the Blu-ray Disc specifications are new and evolving, some discs may not play properly depending on the disc type, version
and encoding. It is possible that a Blu-ray Disc manufactured after the player uses new features of the Blu-ray Disc specifications.
To ensure the best possible viewing experience, the player may need a firmware or software update from time to time. Please visit
OPPO Digital’s web site www.oppodigital.com to check if updates are available.

Disc care and handling
To keep the disc clean from scratches or fingerprints,
handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the recorded
surface.
Blu-ray Discs record data in very high density and the
recorded layer is very close to the disc surface. For this
reason, Blu-ray Discs are more sensitive to dust and
fingerprints than DVD. Should you encounter playback
problems and see dirty spots on the disc surface, clean
the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the
center out along the radial direction. Do not wipe the
disc in a circular motion.
Do not use record cleaning sprays or solvents such as
benzene, thinner and anti-static spray.

Do not attach labels or stickers to discs as this may
cause the disc to warp or become too thick, resulting in
playback issues and a potentially stuck disc.
Avoid exposing the discs to direct sunlight or heat
sources.
Do not use the following discs:
o
Discs with exposed adhesive from removed stickers
or labels. The disc may get stuck inside the player.
o
Warped or cracked discs.
o
Irregularly shaped discs, such as heart or business
card shapes.

Changing the Remote Code
The remote control contains three OPPO remote codes. The default is “Code 1”. If you have other OPPO
products placed close to the BDP-103, they may inadvertently respond to the BDP-103 remote control. To
prevent this, you can select a different remote code.
To select a new remote code, open the battery compartment cover of the remote control, and then use a ball
point pen to flip the switch to one of the positions marked as “1”, “2”, or “3”. Close the battery compartment
cover. Make sure that the BDP-103 player is turned on and that the disc tray is ejected. Aim the remote control
at the player. Press and hold the ENTER button for 5 seconds. The player will start using the new remote code.

Changing the Backlight Method
The remote control supports one of two backlight methods. By default, pressing the LIGHT button will
turn on the backlight, and pressing any other button within 10 seconds will keep the backlight on. The
alternative method will activate the backlight whenever any button is pressed; in this mode, the light will

AUDIO/VIDEO MULTI-CHANNEL RECEIVER

If you have an HDMI-capable receiver that can support HDMI audio, you can simply run an HDMI
cable from the player to your receiver and enable HDMI audio on the receiver (see your receiver’s
owner’s manual for more information). The receiver usually has an HDMI output that you can
connect to your TV to pass the video signal.

Either of the HDMI output terminals (HDMI 1 OUT and/or HDMI 2 OUT) on the rear panel of the
BDP-103 can be connected to your receiver. Preference should be given to the HDMI 1 output for
video since it is the only output to benefit from the superior Marvell QDEO video processor.

NOTE
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a single cable that can transport both audio and
video from your player to your display. Be aware, however, that HDMI is an evolving standard, and
there may be compatibility issues. A receiver that supports audio input over HDMI is required.
Some receivers offer HDMI ports solely for video switching. If your receiver does not have audio
input capability, please read the following sections regarding other connection methods.
In order to play multi-channel audio for all formats, the receiver must support HDMI v1.1 or later.
For Blu-ray Discs, a receiver that supports HDMI v1.4 with decoding capability for Dolby TrueHD
and DTS-HD Master Audio is preferred. Please check the specifications of your receiver to ensure
that it meets these requirements.
The HDMI outputs on the BDP-103 are HDMI v1.4, which are compatible with HDMI v1.3 and
earlier versions.

AUDIO/VIDEO MULTI-CHANNEL RECEIVER

The BDP-103 provides a “Dual HDMI” connection to make sure you can enjoy the highest possible
video quality and resolution, in addition to high bit rate audio content. You can use the included
HDMI cable to connect the HDMI 1 output to your HDTV and use another HDMI cable (not included)
to connect the HDMI 2 output to your receiver by setting the Dual HDMI Output option in the
Setup Menu to Split A/V (see page 53 for details). In this way you can utilize the dedicated video
processor available for the HDMI 1 output, and allow your receiver which has no HDMI 1.4 inputs
to work without any loss to the digital audio signals.

This configuration is recommended when you have a 3D-compatible display, but your receiver is
not 3D-compatible. This allows you to send the video signal (3D, in this case) directly to the TV and
the audio signal to the receiver to be distributed to your speakers as it normally would.

HDMI Cable (to HDMI 1 or 2)

If your TV has an HDMI input, you can use the included HDMI cable to connect the player directly to
the TV. This connection method delivers both video and audio in a pure digital format via a single
cable. The HDMI output of the player allows for the highest possible video quality and audio
resolution.

There are two HDMI output terminals (HDMI 1 OUT and HDMI 2 OUT) on the rear panel of BDP103, both of which can be connected to your TV. We recommend using HDMI 1 OUT since it
benefits from the dedicated Marvell QDEO video processor.

You may remove the HDMI cable and connect the DIAG (diagnostic) output to the TV through a
regular composite video cable (not included) when there is a problem with HDMI video. Only the
Setup Menu will be visible on the TV when using this connection, so it is limited to troubleshooting
purposes only.

NOTE

Quick Start Guide
Power On and Play
The BDP-103 is pre-configured with settings that have been optimized for most home theater systems, so it
can fit into your audio/video system without any additional adjustment. To begin, please follow these steps:
1. Connect the OPPO player into your system.
2. Turn on the TV and/or receiver/amplifier, and then turn on the player.
3. Switch the input selection on your TV or receiver so that the TV displays the signal from the
player.
Within a few seconds, the player will load the factory default settings and you will see the Home Menu with an
OPPO logo. The player is now ready for use. Enjoy your new OPPO Blu-ray Disc Player!
Please follow the rest of the user manual for information on basic and advanced operations.

Select the Best Output Resolution
One of the major advantages of the BDP-103 is its ability to play high-definition Blu-ray video and also upconvert standard definition video stored on DVD discs to high definition. The sophisticated video processor
inside the player ensures that the video will have the best possible color, detail and motion. The player offers
several standard and high definition video output resolutions. For best results, it is important to select an output
resolution that best matches your TV or display.
The rule of thumb when selecting an output resolution is to match the “native resolution” of your TV or display
as closely as possible. The “native resolution” is the resolution of the actual display component in the TV, such
as the Plasma panel, LCD panel, or DLP™ chip. The TV may accept input signals with lower or higher
resolutions than its native resolution. In such cases, the electronics in the TV will upscale or downscale the
video to fit its display component. Unfortunately, many TVs on the market only do an average job of scaling the
video. On the other hand, if you set the BDP-103 to output a resolution that matches or is very close to the
native resolution of the TV, you are more likely to get a great picture.
For most new displays on the market, the best output resolution will be 1080p. A few early model “1080p”
displays did not accept a 1080p signal. For these displays, the best output resolution is 1080i. For small screen
digital TVs this will likely be 720p. For even earlier CRT tube or rear projection TVs this will likely be 1080i. For
EDTV displays (very rare if they have HDMI or DVI) this will be 480p (NTSC) or 576p (PAL). These are general
recommendations that work for most users, but there can be exceptions. Advanced users may want to try all
supported resolutions and choose the one that provides the best result visually.
The BDP-103 supports a special Source Direct mode through its HDMI outputs. This resolution is
recommended for use with external video processors or high-end TVs. In Source Direct mode, the player
works as a “transport”. It decodes video from the discs and then sends the raw video signal in its native
resolution and format, without extra processing, to the external video processor or TV. The actual output
resolution varies by content:
Content
NTSC DVD
PAL DVD
Most Blu-ray Movies (film-source)
Most Blu-ray TV shows or Concerts
(video-source)
SACD and DVD-Audio

Source Direct Output Resolution
480i
576i
1080p 23.976Hz or 1080p 24Hz
1080i
1080p

I N S T A L L A T I O N

For both HDMI outputs, the following output resolutions are available: 4Kx2K, Auto, 1080p, 1080i, 720p,
480p/576p, 480i/576i, and Source Direct. If Auto is selected, the player will determine the output resolution
based on the best signal resolution that the TV can display.
To change the output resolution, press the RESOLUTION button on the remote to bring the Resolution Menu,
then press the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons to highlight the desired one, and press the ENTER button to
confirm and return. If your TV does not support the selected resolution, you may see a black screen or an error
message. In this case, try a different resolution that your TV can support.

Determine the Display Aspect Ratio

Standard Definition, or 4:3 TV

Wide screen, or 16:9 TV

The TV Aspect Ratio is the proportional ratio of a TV screen’s width and height. Older television sets generally
have a 4:3 aspect ratio – the width is 4/3 (or 1.33) times the height. Newer wide screen television sets have a
16:9 aspect ratio – the width is 16/9 (or 1.78) times the height. For best performance, the video output of your
player needs to match the screen aspect ratio of your TV. Since most Blu-ray discs and many DVD discs are
released in the wide screen format, it is highly recommended to use a wide screen TV with the BDP-103.
The Aspect Ratio selections are 16:9 Wide and 16:9 Wide/Auto. Depending on your selection and the video
format recorded on the discs, image appearance on the TV screen can be one of the following:

Original Content

TV Screen Appearance
16:9

16:9 Wide – 16:9 (widescreen) sources will be displayed in their native aspect ratio, and 4:3
sources will be horizontally stretched.
16:9 Wide/Auto – 16:9 (widescreen) as well as 4:3 sources will be displayed in their native aspect
ratio. Please note that in this mode, 4:3 sources will be displayed with black borders on both left
and right sides to maintain the correct 4:3 aspect ratio.

Some TV sets may not support one or more output resolutions. If an incompatible output
resolution is selected, you will get a blank screen or an error message. If this occurs, please
select an output resolution that is supported by the TV.

If you cannot get a picture using HDMI, please remove the HDMI cable and connect the
player’s DIAG (diagnostic) output to the TV using a regular composite video cable, and then
use the Setup Menu to adjust the player settings.

Due to the “Analog Sunset” provision, as of January 1, 2011 all Blu-ray Disc players made
and sold going forward will not be able to pass high definition video (720p, 1080i, or 1080p)
via Component Video outputs. Because of this, we have removed the Component and

A D V A N C E D

O P E R A T I O N S

Composite video outputs on the BDP-103, and only kept a standard definition DIAG video
output for troubleshooting purposes.

Zooming and Aspect Ratio Control
This feature zooms in and out of the displayed frame and also
changes the aspect ratio (image width vs. height).
ZOOM

To change the zoom level, press the ZOOM button on the remote
control. Each press of the ZOOM button will switch the zoom level in
sequence.

Zoom Levels for HDMI Output
The available zoom levels depend on the TV Aspect Ratio setting in the Setup Menu and the encoded
aspect ratio on the BD/DVD Disc:
1:1 (No zoom), Stretch/Compress, Full Screen, Under Scan, 1.2X, 1.3X, 1.5X, 2X, 1/2X
The zoom level is reset to 1:1 when the disc is ejected, or when the player is turned off.
The following zoom levels may be useful for specific applications:
1) Playing 16:9 BD or DVD when TV Aspect Ratio is set to 16:9 Wide or 16:9 Wide/Auto
x

Stretch – The image is vertically stretched 1.33 times. For movies with 2.35:1 aspect ratio, this zoom

are indicated by their respective zoom ratio.

NOTE
x

Some early DVD titles (released from 1997 until early 2000’s) use a 4:3 non-anamorphic
widescreen aspect ratio. When played on a 16:9 display, the content is shown in a small window
with black borders on all four sides. The top and bottom borders are encoded into the video. The
left and right borders are added by the player to maintain the correct aspect ratio. For these types
of discs, the Full Screen zoom mode can be used to eliminate the borders.

The ZOOM feature may not be available when certain DVD or Blu-ray Discs are played if the
disc’s author has chosen to disable ZOOM.

MEDIA FILE PLAYBACK
In addition to playing standard disc-based formats such as Blu-ray, DVD, CD and SACD, the BDP-103
can play media files. You can enjoy digital music, movies and photos stored on a data disc (recordable

USB
Device

The BDP-103 is equipped with three USB ports: one on the front panel and two on the back. You may use any
of the available USB ports to plug in a USB drive.
The USB ports are rated to provide a maximum of 5V, 1000mA power to the USB drive. It is sufficient for USB
thumb drives and flash memory card readers, but may not be sufficient for USB hard disks. It is recommended
to check with your drive manufacturer for power requirements, or use an external power supply.

NOTE
x

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.

Supported USB drives can be formatted with the FAT (File Allocation Table), FAT32 or NTFS
(New Technology File System) file system.

In some cases, an incompatible USB device may cause the player to stop responding. If this
occurs, simply turn off the power, remove the USB device, and turn the player back on.

The player accesses the USB drive in read-only mode. In order to minimize the risk of data
corruption, it is recommended that you only unplug the USB device when playback is
completely stopped.

In-home Network Media Sharing

ᵯᵯᵯ

The BDP-103 can remotely play back music, photo, and video files stored on media devices that are
connected to the same home network. You will need to prepare hardware such as a computer or NAS
(Network Attached Storage) and install and configure software which is functionally equivalent to DLNA or
SMB/CIFS (a network file sharing protocol) client. Set the My Network selection to On in the Setup Menu
(details on page 76), press the HOME button on the remote to bring the Home Menu, select the Network
icon and press ENTER button to show the list of available servers. In some case, you might need to
disable the firewall on the hardware to allow BDP-103 to see the server.
The BDP-103 player can perform network sharing in one of the following three ways:
As a digital media player (DMP): the player can actively search, access and pull content from
local media servers which is functionally equivalent to DLNA.
As a digital media renderer (DMR): the player plays content received (“pushed”) from a digital
media controller (DMC). A DMC-capable media server is required. Refer to the server’s
respective user instructions for correct configuration and operation.
Accessing a SMB/CIFS client: the player can directly access files shared through SMB/CIFS
clients over the network, as if accessing an external USB hard drive. Most computers, especially
those installed with Windows, already have an SMB client embedded. Please refer to respective
OS instructions to set up the SMB/CIFS shared file/folder.

NOTE
NAS is a networked appliance that provides file-based data storage services to other devices
on the network. Commercial products are available on the market.
SMB (Server Message Block) or CIFS (Common Internet File System) is mostly known as
Microsoft Windows Network. It does not require an extra media server or perform any media
format transcoding, which reduces the processing load and keeps the original content quality.
Compatibility with local network sharing hardware/software is on a best effort basis with no
guarantee, due to variations in NAS devices, media servers and their configurations.

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

Using the Setup Menu System
Like many other sections listed in this guide, the player’s Setup Menu allows you to make adjustments to
match your specific audio/video configuration. When performing menu adjustments, we will use the following
terminology to indicate the location of the desired function:
Setup Menu Section > Menu Item > Selection
Setup Menu Section is the uppermost Setup Menu level. Within the BDP-103, there are six Setup Menu
sections listed in the left column of the Setup Menu: Playback Setup, Video Setup, Audio Format Setup,
Audio Processing, Device Setup, and Network Setup.
Menu Item is the parameter to be adjusted which appears in the center column of the Setup Menu. Once you
enter a Setup Menu Section, the list of Menu Items and their current value are displayed in a box.
Selection is the actual numeric or descriptive element that represents the change being made to the selected
parameter. It is the item located to the right of its corresponding Menu Item.
A Scroll Mark appears at the top or bottom of the menu when there are more Menu Items or Selections than

Video Setup
The Video Setup section of the Setup Menu allows you to configure video output options.

ᵰᶂᶶᶵᶰ

1. Picture Adjustment: Adjusts picture control settings. The BDP-103 provides a wide array of
picture controls. Please refer to the Picture Adjustment section on page 56 for details about
each control.
2. Dual HDMI Output: Allows you to select the output mode when both HDMI Output ports are in
use. If only one HDMI Output is active, this selection will not apply.
Split A/V (recommended) – Use HDMI 1 OUTas the dedicated video output port and
HDMI 2 OUT as the dedicated audio output port. This setting will ensure the best possible
picture quality and the highest possible audio resolution.
Dual Display – Send digital audio and video signals to both HDMI Outputs simultaneously.
This setting is only recommended when two HDMI displays are required, since the surround
sound audio signal may be down-mixed to stereo and the original audio quality may be lost.
NOTE
The player can automatically adjust the resolution of digital audio and video signals depending
on the capabilities of the connected television and receivers.
For HDMI 1 OUT, the dedicated QDEO video processor will be used unless Source Direct is
selected, in which case QDEO is bypassed.
In Split A/V mode, HDMI 1 OUT has video only with no audio, but HDMI 2 OUT will have audio
and possibly video. This is because HDMI embeds audio into video data so there must always
be a video signal, even if it’s only a blank screen, to carry audio through.
3. 3D Output: Allows you to choose the video output mode for 3D content.
Auto – Outputs 3D if supported both by both the disc content and the display. The player
automatically checks for the existence of 3D content on the disc and the 3D compatibility of
the TV or projector. If both criteria are met, the player sends 3D video from its HDMI output
terminals; otherwise, only 2D video is sent out. Active shutter 3D glasses (which are not sold
by OPPO) are required to enjoy the 3D movie on your TV.
Off – Always output 2D video format, even when 3D video exists on the disc. This
guarantees the video quality if your TV is not 3D compatible, or if some necessary
components (such as the 3D glasses) are missing.
Forced – Always output 3D video format for 3D Blu-ray Discs. You may experience a black
screen (no video output) if your TV is not 3D compatible.

4. 3D Setting: Adjusts the playback settings for better 3D visual quality.
Blank HDMI 2 (Yes/No) – Allows you to force HDMI 2 OUT to output a blank 2D screen when
HDMI 1 OUT outputs 3D video. During 3D movie playback, when HDMI 1 is connected to a
3D display and HDMI 2 is connected to a non-3D receiver which is in turn connected to the
same 3D display, you may encounter an issue where there is no audio coming from the
receiver. Setting this option to "Yes" can resolve this issue.
2D->3D Depth – Adjusts the 3D depth perception when performing 2D-to-3D conversion
(also called “simulated 3D”). The default value is 8.
3D TV Size – Allows you to enter the diagonal screen size of the 3D HDTV. This option
applies to 3D mode only. Use the number buttons on the remote to enter the actual diagonal
size of the TV screen, and then press the ENTER button to confirm. The default value is 46
inches.
5. TV Aspect Ratio: Sets the aspect ratio of the player’s output image.
16:9 Wide – Choose when the display is widescreen 16:9. 16:9 material will be displayed in
its native aspect ratio, and 4:3 materials will be stretched horizontally.
16:9 Wide/Auto – Choose when the display is widescreen 16:9. 16:9 material 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.
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 23 of this manual.
6. TV System: Allows you to choose the output video system or broadcast standard (PAL/NTSC) to
match the type of TV.
NTSC (default) – When playing NTSC-encoded discs, no system conversion is performed.
PAL-encoded content is converted to NTSC output. Blu-ray Discs encoded at a 24Hz frame
rate are converted to a 60Hz frame rate if neither 1080p24 Output nor Source Direct output
resolution is enabled.
PAL – When playing PAL-encoded discs, no system conversion is performed. NTSCencoded content is converted to PAL output. Blu-ray Discs encoded with a 24Hz frame rate
are converted to a 50Hz frame rate if neither 1080p24 Output nor Source Direct output
resolution is enabled.
Multi-system – No system conversion is performed. The output video system is the same as
that encoded on the disc. Blu-ray Discs encoded with a 24Hz frame rate are converted to a
60Hz frame rate if neither the 1080p24 Output nor Source Direct output resolution is enabled.
Requires a TV that supports both NTSC and PAL systems.
NOTE
DO NOT select Multi-system if your TV does not support both NTSC and PAL systems. The
TV display may become a black screen when you insert a disc encoded in a different system
than your TV supports. Should this happen, you can press the OPEN button to eject the disc
tray, and then use the Setup Menu to correct the TV System setting.
7. Output Resolution: Allows you to choose the output resolution that best matches your
television’s native resolution. For a detailed description on how to choose a proper output
resolution, please refer to the Select the BestOutput Resolution section on page 22 of this
manual.
8. 1080p24 Output: Allows you to set the 1080p 24Hz output options. This option only applies to
the HDMI output at 1080p resolution. Many Blu-ray Discs of theatrical movies are encoded using
24Hz frame rate, the same number of frames per second as the original theatrical film. If the TV
54

S E T U P

M E N U

O P T I O N S

properly supports 1080p 24Hz, smoother motion can be achieved by enabling 1080p24 Output
for these discs.
x

Auto (default) – Video encoded at a 24Hz frame rate will be output as 1080p 24Hz if the TV
informs the player that it can support the 1080p24 signal.

On – Video encoded at a 24Hz frame rate will be output as 1080p 24Hz without regard to
whether the TV can support the 1080p24 signal or not. This is useful if the TV can actually
support 1080p24 but does not properly state its capability. Please note that if the TV cannot
support 1080p24, selecting this option will result in no video.

Off – Video encoded at a 24Hz frame rate will be converted to 60Hz (NTSC) or 50Hz (PAL)

9. DVD 24p Conversion: Allows you to enable 24Hz frame rate conversion for DVD. This option is
only available when 1080p24 Output is enabled (set to Auto or On). Many DVDs that originate
from theatrical movies are encoded with a technique called “3:2 telecine” in order to convert the
24 frames per second film to 60Hz video signal. The player can convert the 60Hz video signal
back to 24 frames per second film and output as 1080P/24Hz. Smoother motion may be
achieved by enabling this option, if both the TV and the DVD disc meet the conversion conditions.
The available options are:
x

On – Converts DVD to 24Hz frame rate when possible. Remember that motion errors may
be observed if the DVD is not suitable for such conversion.

Off (default) – Does not convert DVD to 24Hz frame rate.

10. HDMI Options: Configures video options that apply only to the HDMI output. This item contains
a sub-menu with multiple configuration options. Please refer to the HDMI Options section on
page 59 of this manual for details of each option.
11. Display Options: Configures the options for displaying on-screen information.
x

Subtitle Shift – Sets the display position for subtitles.
When the Subtitle Shift is set at 0 (default), subtitles are displayed at the original position as
specified on the disc. When it is set at a value between 1 and 5, subtitles are shifted up.
When it is set at a value between -1 and -5, subtitles are shifted down.
This feature is helpful for customers using a 2.35:1 “Constant Image Height” video projection
system. Subtitles can be shifted to the active video area so they do not get cut off. You can
also press and hold the SUBTITLE button for 3 seconds to activate this selection.

OSD Position – Allows you to set the display position for the on-screen display (OSD).
When the OSD Position is set to 0, the OSD is shown at the top and bottom of the video
screen. When it is set at a value between 1 and 5, the OSD is shifted towards the centre of
the video screen.
Similar to the subtitle shift setting above, the OSD Position feature is helpful for customers
using a 2.35:1 “Constant Image Height” video projection system.

OSD Mode – Allows you to select how long the on-screen display (OSD) information, such
as playback operation icons (PAUSE, STOP, SKIP, etc.), stays on the TV screen.
Normal – OSD information stays on the TV screen until the user cancels it.
Minimal – OSD information stays on the TV screen for a few seconds and then
disappears. The front panel display still maintains the selected display information.
Remaining – OSD information stays on the TV screen until the user cancels it. By
default, displays remaining time instead of elapsed time.

Angle Mark (On/Off) – Turns on/off the display of the angle icon when a DVD or Blu-ray
Disc with multiple angles is played. Keeping the angle mark off avoids distraction from
normal movie watching.
Screen Saver – Allows you to turn on/off the screen saver function. The screen saver is
designed to minimize burn-in concerns for plasma and CRT display devices.
On (recommended) – After about 3 minutes of inactivity, the player will show an
animated OPPO logo moving on a black background. This allows most areas of the
screen time to rest and gives all areas an equal opportunity to refresh.
Off – The screen saver will not be activated. Only use this option if your TV does not
have any burn-in issues.
Energy Saver – Video output will be turned off after 3 minutes of inactivity. Many
projectors and LCD TVs will go into a standby or sleep mode and turn off their projection
lamp or LCD backlight lamp, thus saving energy and prolonging the lamp life. When you
press any button on the OPPO remote control or the player’s front panel, the screen
saver will be canceled and video output will be restored. If your TV is already in standby
or sleep mode, you may need to wake up the TV by pressing a button on its remote or
control panel.

Picture Adjustment
Picture Adjustment is a special section of the Video Setup menu. It allows you to fine tune many picture
control parameters in order to achieve optimal picture quality. To enter the Picture Adjustment menu, press
the SETUP button on the remote control to enter the player’s Setup Menu and choose Video Setup > Picture
Adjustment and select the video output to be adjusted:

Use the LEFT/RIGHT ARROW to select the video output, and press the ENTER button to bring up the Picture

To change a picture adjustment parameter, use the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons to highlight the
parameter, and use the LEFT/RIGHT ARROW buttons to change its value.
To aid in the adjustment of picture control parameters, the picture adjustment menu will be reduced to
only show the parameter being adjusted once you press the LEFT/RIGHT ARROW buttons (except the
Picture Mode, which you will directly see the mode name switches between Mode 1, 2 and 3, and all the
other parameters are adjusted automatically to the stored value). The reduced menu will be positioned
near the bottom of the screen.

You can continue adjusting the current parameter by pressing the LEFT/RIGHT ARROW buttons. To
select another parameter, press the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons. Press the ENTER button to return to
the main Picture Adjustment menu.
To exit the Picture Adjustment menu and return to the Setup Menu, either select Exit in the menu, or
press the RETURN button.
The following picture adjustment controls are available for both HDMI 1 and 2:
1. Picture Mode: Allows you to choose a customized picture mode saved by you. The BDP-103
allows you to save up to three customized modes. Press the LEFT/RIGHT ARROW buttons to
switch the mode and all parameters will be automatically adjusted to their stored values.
Changes to the current parameter values will be stored automatically when you exit the Picture
Adjustment screen or switch to another Picture Mode.
2. Brightness: Allows you to adjust the brightness (black level) of the video output.
3. Contrast: Allows you to adjust the contrast (white level) of the video output.
NOTE
Proper brightness and contrast settings are necessary for a quality video output. If you do not
have the correct black and white levels, your images can appear washed out or can lose detail
in shadows when watching darker scenes. Televisions have brightness (black level) and
contrast (white level) controls; however, it may require a combination of tweaking both the
player and your television to get the optimal result. We recommend using a calibration disc
such as the Spears & Munsil™ High Definition Benchmark Blu-ray Edition or Digital Video
57

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

S E T U P

M E N U

O P T I O N S

Remember that excessive noise reduction may cause a loss of details. We recommend using
the noise reduction function only when you encounter poorly encoded or compressed video that
has apparent noise artifacts.
For HDMI 2, the noise reduction level can be set between 0 and +3. The default is level 0. When
this level is increased, the player adjusts the picture quality by applying mosquito noise
reduction, random noise reduction and MPEG block noise reduction at the same time. The
higher the level, the more aggressive noise reduction functions apply.
The following picture adjustment controls are only available for HDMI 1 video output:
8. Color Enhancement: Allows you to adjust the color enhancement level on the video output.
This enhances certain colors in the spectrum and enables vivid colors in outdoor scenes without
causing hue shifts, loss of detail or changes in skin tones.
9. Contrast Enhancement: Allows you to adjust the contrast enhancement level on the video
output. This expands detail in shadows.

HDMI Options
HDMI Options is a sub-menu of the Video Setup menu. It allows you to configure some video settings that are
unique to the HDMI output. To enter this sub-menu, select HDMI Options from the Video Setup menu. To exit
this sub-menu, press the RETURN button or the LEFT ARROW key. The following HDMI options are available:
1. Color Space (HDMI 1) – Allows you to select the color space for the HDMI 1 output. The
available options are:
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.
RGB Video Level – The HDMI output uses RGB color space and normal signal range
suitable for video displays.
RGB PC Level – The HDMI output uses RGB color space and expands the signal range.
The expanded signal range is suitable for personal computer (PC) displays. Some TVs are
designed to be used as a PC monitor, and expect signal in expanded RGB range when the
DVI input is selected. For these displays if the video signal uses the normal RGB range, the
black-white contrast will be reduced. You can set the player to use the RGB PC Level output
and restore proper contrast.
YCbCr 4:4:4 – The HDMI output uses YCbCr 4:4:4 color space.
YCbCr 4:2:2 – The HDMI output uses YCbCr 4:2:2 color space. Generally this is the color
space that is closest to the color space encoded on the discs. (All discs are encoded in
YCbCr 4:2:0 color space, and the video decoder decodes it into YCbCr 4:2:2.)
2. Color Space (HDMI 2) – Allows you to select the color space for the HDMI 2 output. The
available options are the same as those for Color Space (HDMI 1).
3. Deep Color (HDMI 1) – Allows you to select the Deep Color mode for the HDMI 1 output. Deep
Color is an option for some TVs or projectors that feature HDMI v1.3 or higher input. Normally,
each pixel of the video image is transmitted using 24-bit data (8-bit per channel for R, G, B or Y,
Cb, Cr). If Deep Color is supported, each pixel of the video image can be transmitted using 30-bit
(10-bit per channel) or 36-bit (12-bit per channel) data. The increased bit depth should result in
smoother color transitions and better gradients.
36 Bits – Uses the 36-bit per pixel Deep Color mode.
59

S E T U P

O P T I O N S

30 Bits (Dithered) – Uses the 30-bit per pixel Deep Color mode with dithering technique.

30 Bits – Uses the 30-bit per pixel Deep Color mode.

Off (Dithered) – Does not use Deep Color, but applies the dithering technique.

Off (default) – Does not use Deep Color.

4. Deep Color (HDMI 2) – Allows you to select the Deep Color mode for the HDMI 2 output. The
available options are the same as those for HDMI Deep Color (HDMI 1).
NOTE
x

x

Since the Deep Color feature is optional and may not be supported by all TVs, enabling
Deep Color while connected to a TV without this feature may result in no effect or no
video.
At this time, no disc is encoded with Deep Color. Enabling Deep Color will not magically
make colors richer, but will help preserve the maximum precision as a result of video
processing and picture control adjustment.
Dithering is a technique to improve the image color depth with limited color quantization.

Audio Format Setup
The Audio Format Setup section of the Setup Menu allows you to configure preferences for audio output
formats.

1. Secondary Audio: Allows you to set the Secondary Audio Program mixing option. Some Blu-ray
Discs contain a secondary audio and video program, such as a director’s commentary. Some
Blu-ray Discs have a sound effect when you make menu choices. This Setup Menu item allows
you to decide whether to mix the Secondary Audio Program and menu sounds into the primary
audio.
On – The Secondary Audio Program and menu sounds are mixed into the primary audio.
Usually this will cause the primary audio volume to be slightly reduced.
Off – The Secondary Audio Program and menu sounds are not mixed into the primary audio
and you cannot hear the secondary audio or menu sounds. This setting preserves the
highest possible audio quality for the primary audio.
2. HDMI Audio: Allows you to select the digital audio output format from the HDMI port. The
options are:
Auto (default) – The player checks with the device connecting to the HDMI output to
automatically determine which audio format to use.
LPCM – Digital audio output via HDMI will be in the multi-channel Linear PCM format. When
this option is selected, compressed audio bit streams will be decoded by the player. This
setting is recommended when connecting the HDMI output directly to a TV or to a receiver
without advanced audio decoding capabilities.
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.
Off – No digital audio output via HDMI.
NOTE
If you use HDMI to connect audio to an HDMI A/V receiver or audio processor, it is important
that you choose 720p or higher HDMI output resolution when playing high resolution audio
content (DVD-Audio, SACD, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio). According to the HDMI
specification, the bandwidth available for audio is proportional to the total bandwidth used by
video. At 480p/576p resolution, the HDMI specification can only support 2 channels of audio
with high sample rate (up to 192kHz), or 8 channels of audio with standard sample rate (up to

S E T U P

M E N U

O P T I O N S

48kHz). If you play high resolution audio content at the 480p/576p resolution, you may get
reduced audio resolution, incomplete audio channels, or even no audio/video output at all.
Choosing a higher output resolution such as 720p or above allows enough bandwidth for all
high sample rate audio channels.
3. Coaxial/Optical Output: Allows you to set the audio format and the upper sample rate limit for
coaxial/optical (S/PDIF) digital outputs. The upper sample rate limit is used to decide whether the
player will down-sample audio (the player does not up-sample audio to higher sample rates).
x

48k LPCM – Forces down-mixed 2-channel, linear PCM (LPCM) digital audio format, and sets
the maximum sample rate to 48kHz. This is supported by most receivers/amplifiers.

96k LPCM – Forces down-mixed 2-channel, linear PCM (LPCM) digital audio format and sets
the maximum sample rate to 96kHz. It can result in better audio quality but ensure the
receiver/amplifier can support it.

192k LPCM – Forces down-mixed 2-channel, linear PCM (LPCM) digital audio format and sets
the maximum sample rate to 192kHz. It can result in better audio quality but ensure the
receiver/amplifier can support it.

Bitstream – Passes audio as compressed bitstream format to the receiver/amplifier. Choose
this setting if your receiver/amplifier is capable of decoding Dolby Digital and/or DTS.

NOTE
Due to copyright restrictions and bandwidth limitations, SACD audio cannot be sent through the
coaxial/optical audio output, and the high resolution audio on DVD-Audio and Blu-ray discs will
be sent out at reduced resolution. Details can be found on page 17.
4. SACD Output: Allows you to select HDMI the audio output format for SACD playback.
x

PCM – SACD data is converted into multi-channel, high-resolution PCM data. The converted
PCM data is then output through HDMI or the internal DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) for the
analog audio output ports. If you use a receiver that supports HDMI v1.1 to listen to SACD,
please select this option. You may also want to select this option if you prefer the sound quality
of the DSD-to-PCM conversion.

DSD – SACD Direct Stream Digital (DSD) data is output over HDMI without any conversion.
For the analog audio outputs, DSD data is converted into an analog signal directly by the
internal DAC. If you use a receiver that supports HDMI v1.2a with DSD over HDMI, or you
prefer the sound quality of straight DSD to analog, please select this option.

NOTE
Due to the hardware limitation, DSD output is only available from the HDMI 2 OUT port. To listen
to SACD using the HDMI 1 OUT port, please set SACD Output to PCM.
5. HDCD Decoding: Allows you to set the audio decoding option for HDCD (High Definition
Compatible Digital) discs.
x

On – HDCD is decoded by the player. You can enjoy expanded dynamic range and improved
audio resolution.

Off – HDCD is treated as regular CD. This is useful when the player is connected to an HDCDcapable A/V receiver via a digital audio output link (Coaxial, Optical, or HDMI) so the A/V
receiver can perform HDCD decoding.

Audio Processing Setup
The Audio Processing section of the Setup Menu allows you to configure how the player will process audio
signals before sending them to the output. In this section, all of the settings only affect the analog audio outputs,
except for Dynamic Range Control (DRC), which also affects HDMI audio.

Speaker Configuration
In the Speaker Configuration menu you can configure speaker settings such as down-mix mode,
number of speakers, their distance, size and trim level. The Speaker Configuration menu shows an
illustration of speaker placement to assist you in properly configuring your speakers.
Upon entering this menu, the cursor is positioned on the front left speaker. You may use the
LEFT/RIGHT ARROW buttons to move the cursor. The RIGHT ARROW button moves the cursor
clockwise, and the LEFT ARROW button moves the cursor counterclockwise. When the cursor is over
the Down Mix, Test Tone or Exit options, you can also use the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons to highlight
these options.

NOTE
Speaker Configuration applies to the multi-channel analog audio outputs only. All digital
(bitstream and LPCM) outputs are unaffected by these settings.

Down Mix Mode
Downmixing 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. Downmixing allows
the audio output from the player to match the exact number of speakers available in your home theater.
The current down mix mode is displayed in the lower right corner of the speaker placement illustration.
To change the audio down mix setting, press the ENTER button while the cursor is over the Down Mix
option. The following down mix modes are available:

LT/RT – Left Total/Right Total. The center and surround channels are mixed into the two front
channels according to the LT/RT matrix. A Dolby Pro Logic receiver will decode the two-channel
audio into surround audio.

Stereo – This mode down mixes multi-channel audio to 2-channel stereo output. For original
stereo content the output will not change. For original multi-channel content the surround and
center channels will be mixed with the left and right front channels. This is recommended for use
with TV sets or stereo receiver/amplifiers.

5.1Ch – This mode enables 5.1ch decoded audio output. The number of actual output channels
depends on the disc. If the source content has more channels, the surround back channels will
be mixed into the surround channels.

7.1Ch – This mode enables 7.1ch decoded audio output. The number of actual output channels
depends on the disc. For 6.1ch contents, the left and right surround back speakers will both
output the same surround back audio channel.

Test Tone
Test tones are artificially-created sounds that are used to test your audio speaker system and help to identify
any wiring faults. By default the Test Tone is set to Off, with the status displayed in the lower left corner of the
screen.
To begin the test, press the ARROW buttons to highlight the Test Tone option, and press the Enter button to
change the test tone status to On. Press the ARROW buttons to select a speaker, and you will hear the test
sounds. To stop the test process, press the ARROW buttons to highlight the Test Tone option and press the
Enter button to switch the status back to Off. Please note these test tones only apply on multi-channel audio
outputs.

The following speaker parameters can be configured:
1. Size: The following speaker size parameters control bass filtering for the speakers.
Large – All audio content is passed to the appropriate speaker.
Small – All audio content, except for bass frequencies, is passed to the appropriate speaker.
The purpose is to reduce possible distortion. If a subwoofer is available, bass frequencies are redirected to the subwoofer, otherwise, they are discarded. The bass frequency upper limit is set
by the Crossover Frequency selection in the Setup Menu (see page 71 for details).
Off – Speaker for the corresponding position does not exist. Audio for the missing speaker is
redirected to other speakers or discarded if redirection is not possible.
On (for Subwoofer only) – Specifies that a subwoofer is available.
NOTE
The Size for Front, Surround and Surround Back speakers is configured in pairs. Changes to
the size of one speaker will automatically change the other of the pair.
2. Distance: The speaker distance parameters set delay control for the corresponding audio channel.
The delay is to compensate for the audio propagation time difference caused by the placement of
speakers.
Speaker distance compensation is not required if the A/V receiver has the capability to adjust
channel delay and compensate for speaker distance differences. However, if your receiver does not
have such functions (most receivers do not offer these functions for their multi-channel analog input),
you may adjust them through the player. Speaker distance delay is only applied if the player is
decoding multi-channel audio. If you use bitstream audio output to your A/V receiver, the bitstream
audio is not adjusted for speaker distance delay.

In the above diagram, measure the distance (in feet) from the primary listening position to the Front
Left or Front Right Speaker. Enter the distance of the Front Speakers ( in the above picture) into
the Speaker Configuration menu.
Next, measure the distance (in feet) from center speaker ( ) to the listening position. Move the
cursor to highlight the Center speaker in the Channel Delay setup page, and enter the distance (as
close as possible) in feet. Repeat for each speaker in the system (Center, Surround Left, Surround
Right, Surround Back Left, Surround Back Right and Subwoofer) as available. The player will insert
appropriate delay to make sure sound waves from different speakers arrive at the listener at the
same time.
It is possible to independently set distances for each speaker. Speaker distances can be set to the
actual spatial distance of the speakers.
If the channel delay settings cannot match your speaker configuration, please set all distances to the
same and use your receiver/amplifier to set the channel delay.
3. Trim: The speaker trim level parameters sets the volume of each individual channel. Channel trim
is generally not required since most A/V receivers have the capability to adjust channel trim and
compensate for speaker sensitivity differences. However, if your receiver does not have such
functions (many receivers do not support channel trim for their multi-channel analog inputs), you may
adjust channel trim through the player. For most accurate results, it is recommended that you use
test tones from a calibration disc, such as Digital Video Essentials HD Basics, and a SPL (Sound
Pressure Level) meter. The trim level can be set to +/- 10dB in 0.5dB increments.
NOTE
x

Increasing the Trim Level above 0dB may result in distortion if the original audio level is
already high. When this occurs the waveform becomes clipped and audible distortion can
be heard. In this situation, it is necessary to reduce the Trim Level until the distortion is
removed. When using the Trim Level for speakers, it is recommended that you set the
least sensitive speaker’s Trim Level to 0dB, and set other speakers’ Trim Level to
negative values.

The Test Tone can be used in conjunction with the player’s trim control. Each speaker
can be set to independent trim levels and there is no linked pair limitation.

Other Audio Processing Settings
In addition to Speaker Configuration, Crossover Frequency and Dynamic Range Control are audio
processing settings that can be configured:
1. Crossover: Allows you to set the Bass Management kick-in frequency for all speakers. When the
speaker size is set to Small in Speaker Configuration (see page 69), bass information below this
frequency is not passed to the speakers to reduce possible distortion, and if the subwoofer is
available, bass information will be redirected to the subwoofer. When all speaker sizes are set to
Large, there is no Bass Management.
x

40Hz / 60Hz / 80Hz / 90Hz / 100Hz / 110Hz / 120Hz / 150Hz / 200Hz / 250Hz – These are
the available crossover frequencies. You can press the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons and the
ENTER buttons to select it. This option applies to all speakers (center, front, surround, and
surround back speakers). By default the crossover frequency is 80Hz.

2. Dynamic Range Control: Allows you to set the Dynamic Range Compression (DRC). DRC can
smooth out the sonic peaks and valleys common with wide-range digital audio. Enabling DRC may
make low level audio more audible during low-level listening. Turning off DRC restores the sonic
energy present in the original recording.
x

Auto – Plays at the dynamic range specified by the disc. This option applies to certain Bluray Discs only, which have DRC instructions encoded in the Dolby TrueHD audio tracks.

On – Turn on DRC for all Dolby and DTS audio formats. This option applies to all DVD and
Blu-ray Discs.

Off – Turn off DRC.

NOTE
Dynamic Range Compression is applied to the analog audio output and digital audio outputs (HDMI,
Coaxial and Optical) when the audio format is set to PCM.
3. DTS Neo:6 Mode: Allows you to enable DTS Neo:6 audio processing and select the listening mode.
DTS Neo:6 is a digital signal processing that can expand the original stereo source to 7.0 (L, R, C, LS,
RS, LR, RR) or 7.1 (with Bass Management) surround.
x

Music – Enables DTS Neo:6 audio processing for stereo music sources.

Cinema – Enables DTS Neo:6 audio processing for digital TV box or stereo movie sources.

Off (default) – Turns off the DTS Neo:6 to keep the original audio quality.

4. Output Volume: Allows you to enable or disable the analog volume controls (also known as Variable
Audio). The available options are:
x

Variable – Enables the analog volume control. Use the VOL+/- buttons on the remote to
increase/decrease the analog audio output level (the maximum is 100).

Fixed – Disables the analog volume control. The VOL+/- buttons on the remote will no
longer affect the analog audio output, and the volume level is fixed to 100.

Device Setup
The Device Setup section of the Setup Menu system allows you to configure additional player options related
to the hardware and control functions.

ᶔᶭᶦᶦᶱᵡᶕᶪᶮᶦᶳ

1. Firmware Information: Displays the currently installed firmware version.
2. Firmware Upgrade: Upgrades the player’s firmware. This operation is only available when the
playback is completely stopped or when there is no disc loaded.
The firmware is the system software that controls the features and functions of the player. Since the
Blu-ray Disc specifications are new and evolving, it is possible that a Blu-ray Disc manufactured after
the player was manufactured uses certain new features of the Blu-ray Disc specifications. To ensure
the best possible viewing experience, the player may need a firmware update from time to time.
Please visit the OPPO Digital web site www.oppodigital.com to check for firmware updates and
instructions on installing the updates.
There are three ways to upgrade the player’s firmware:
Via USB – You may download the firmware files from the OPPO Digital web site to a USB
drive and then use the USB drive to upgrade the player. Please follow the instructions on the
firmware download web page.
Via Disc – You may requests a firmware upgrade disc from OPPO Digital or download a disc
image from the OPPO Digital web site and burn an upgrade disc. Please follow the
instructions that come with the upgrade disc.
Via Network – If the player has a working Internet connection (see pages 19 and 76), you
may upgrade the player directly over the Internet. Please follow the instructions on your TV
screen.
3. Firmware Notification: Allows you to set whether the player should automatically check for new
firmware versions on the Internet server and notifies you about new firmware.
On – Checks for firmware updates automatically and notifies the user about new firmware.
Requires a working network connection.
Off – Does not check for new firmware version automatically.
4. Remote Control Code: The BDP-103 can respond to one of four sets of remote control codes. The
default is “Code 1”. If you have other OPPO products in the vicinity of the BDP-103, the other
products may respond to the BDP-103 remote control. To prevent this, you can select a different
remote code. The available codes are:
72

S E T U P

M E N U

O P T I O N S

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

S E T U P

M E N U

O P T I O N S

Quick Start – The player takes less time to start up but consumes more power in standby
mode. This mode is recommended if the player is used frequently, or if you need to supply
power to a device connected to the player’s MHL port during the standby period.
7.

Sleep Timer: Allows you to specify the amount of time before the player automatically turns itself off.
Off (default) – The player will not turn itself off automatically.
30/45/60/90/120 Min – These are the available time increments (in minutes) you can choose
before the player automatically shuts itself down. You can press the UP/DOWN ARROW
buttons and the ENTER button to select the desired time. Once selected, the remaining
minutes will be displayed to the right of the “Sleep Timer” option.

8. Front Panel Brightness: Allows you to control the display intensity of the front panel Vacuum
Fluorescent Display (VFD) information window and the OPEN/CLOSE tray button backlight. If 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.
Standard (default) – The VFD window and theOPEN/CLOSE tray button backlight are at full
brightness.
Dim – The VFD window and theOPEN/CLOSE tray button backlight are at reduced
brightness.
Off – The VFD window and the OPEN/CLOSE tray button backlight are turned off. In this
mode, the display and backlight will resume momentarily if there is any user operation.
9. Cache Media Info (On/Off) : Allows you to set the online media file information caching option. This
option can provide a better media file navigation experience by caching some of the media
information in an “OPPO_Media_Info” folder created on the root directory of the connected USB drive.
On (recommended) – The downloaded media information will be saved on the same USB
hard disk or thumb drive as the media files for faster navigation.
Off – The downloaded media file information is not saved. Retrieving the media information
from the internet may take some time and could slow down media file navigation.
10. Persistent Storage: Allows you to manage the persistent storage for BD-Video content. The
persistent storage is a data storage area that holds additional content 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:
Storage Device – Allows you to select which storage device should be used as the persistent
storage. The BDP-103 preserves about 1GB of internal flash memory that can be used for
persistent storage. There are also three USB ports on the player that can accept a USB drive
to be used as the persistent storage. You may choose from the following:
Internal Flash – Uses the internal flash memory for persistent storage.
USB Drive – Uses a USB drive for persistent storage. To meet the specification for
BD-Live, a USB flash drive of 1GB or larger is required. A USB hard drive is not
recommended.

6. Internet Connection: Allows you to select the internet connection type.
Ethernet (default) – Connect to the internet through an Ethernet cable. Please refer to the
connection instructions on page 19. Selecting this will make the Wireless Setting option
gray and un-selectable.
Wireless – Connect to the internet through the external wireless adaptor. Please refer to the
connection instructions on page 20. Choosing Wireless will start the Wireless Setup
Assistant, and will also make the Wireless Setting option in the next row selectable.
Off – Internet access is prohibited. This will make all the remaining options in the Network
Setup screen gray and un-selectable.
7. Wireless Setting – Start the Wireless Setup Assistant. You can start the Wireless Setup
Assistant by selecting the Wireless Setting option, or by selecting Wireless in Internet
Connection menu. The procedure is described as follows:
The player first searches for the last successful wireless settings. If they exist, a message
will pop up to remind you.

Use Previous – Uses the last successful wireless settings. A summary of the previous
wireless settings will display, showing information such as the SSID (network name),
Security Mode and Security Key (password).

After verifying the previous settings, the player will test the connection and display the
results.
Start New – Creates a new wireless configuration. The BDP-103 supports three wireless
configuration methods:

Scan – Scans for an available wireless network. The player automatically scans for
any available wireless networks and displays the search results in a window. You
can press the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons to highlight a network and then press the
ENTER button to select it. If this network is secured, you will need to input the
security key using the remote control. The player will then test the connection and
display the results.

S E T U P

M E N U

O P T I O N S

Manual – Allows you to manually enter the information for a wireless network. You
need to use the remote control to input the SSID, select the Security Mode and
input the Security Key. The player will then test the connection and display the
results.
WPS – Starts the Wi-Fi Protected Setup. The BDP-103 supports the WPS standard
to provide an easy and secure establishment of a wireless home network. You may
choose from the following setup options:

PIN – Configures the WPS using a Personal Identification Number. The
BDP-103 will generate a PIN code and you will need to input it into the
software control panel of your wireless router or access point. Please follow
the on-screen instructions.
PBC – Configures the WPS using Push Button Control. You need to push a
PBC button on your wireless router or access point to initiate the wireless
connection. Please follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE
SSID is short for Service Set Identifier. It is an identifier for each wireless router or
access point, and is also referred as a network name.
WPS is short for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS). It is the latest standard for easy and
secure wireless home network configuration. It is also named Wi-Fi Simple Config. To
use WPS, a WPS compatible router or access point is required.

8. IP Setting: Determines how the player obtains its IP address.
Auto (DHCP) – The player automatically obtains its IP address information using DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). This is the default setting. In most cases, automatic
IP configuration should be used.
Manual – Allows you to manually enter the numeric IP address. Set the IP configuration
manually only when the router has no DHCP server functions or when the router’s DHCP
server function is disabled. For more information on how to manually configure the Internet
connection and what values to use, please consult your broadband router/modem instruction
manuals or call your Internet service provider.
Internet Connection – Depending on the setting in Internet Connection, this can be
either “Wireless” or “Ethernet”.
IP Address: The Internet Protocol address of the player. When IP Setting is set to Auto
(DHCP), the value displayed here is obtained using DHCP and cannot be changed.
78

S E T U P

M E N U

O P T I O N S

Subnet Mask: Each IP address has an associated subnet mask. It is used by the player
to decide whether to route network traffic through the router or directly to another device
on the same network. When IP Setting is set to Auto (DHCP), the value displayed here
is obtained using DHCP and cannot be changed.
Gateway: The IP address of the router. It is also called “default gateway” or “default
router”. When IP Setting is set to Auto (DHCP), the value displayed here is obtained
using DHCP and cannot be changed.
DNS 1: The IP address of the primary DNS (Domain Name System) server. DNS is the
mechanism used to translate human-readable addresses (such as www.oppodigital.com)
to numeric IP addresses. When IP Setting is set to Auto (DHCP), the value displayed
here is obtained using DHCP and cannot be changed.
DNS 2: The IP address of the secondary DNS server. When IP Setting is set to Auto
(DHCP), the value displayed here is obtained using DHCP and cannot be changed.
9. Proxy Setting: Allows you to configure the proxy server settings. The proxy server works as an
intermediary for network communication between clients and other servers, which can provide
benefits like security, anonymity, or even circumvention of regional restrictions.
x

On – Accesses the Internet via a proxy server.
Proxy Host: Input the proxy host name using the remote control.
Proxy Port: Input the proxy host port number using the remote control.

Off (default) – Disables the use of a proxy server.

We recommend keeping Proxy Setting set to Off, unless you have a working Proxy Host and
Proxy Port, and have to use the proxy server in order to access the internet.
10. Connection Test: Allows you to test the Internet connection. It is recommended that you test the
connection when you initially connect the player to the Internet, or whenever changes to Connection
Method, Wireless Setting, IP Setting and other network parameters are made.
