Precautions
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.

technologies: among such discs, some do not conform to
the CD standard and may not be usable on this player.
Disc care and handling
To keep the disc clean from scratches or fingerprints,
handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the recording
surface.
Blu-ray Discs record data in very high density and the
record 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, become imbalanced or too thick,
resulting in playback problems.
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.

Setting the Remote Code
The remote control supports one of three remote codes. The default is “Code 1”. If you have other OPPO
products placed close to the BDP-83, they may inadvertently respond to the BDP-83 remote control. In this
case you can select a different remote code to avoid conflicts.
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-83 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.

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.

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 OPPO 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 OPPO
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
49 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.
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 CSS-
encrypted and will be limited to 480i/480p resolution. This restriction applies to the component
output only. The HDMI output is protected with HDCP and has no such restriction.
You may connect the composite video cable to the TV for trouble-shooting purpose, just in case
there is a problem with component video. However it is not recommended to use the composite
video as the primary method of video delivery to the TV, because it only produces a standard
definition video signal and forfeits the advantage of high definition video.

Method 4 – HDMI Connection to Receiver and TV
HDMI can transmit both audio and video signals over a single cable. 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 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.

Custom Installation
External IR (Infrared Remote) Installation
The OPPO BDP-83 Blu-Ray Disc Player features IR IN and IR OUT ports on its back panel. If the player is to
be installed in an equipment cabinet where direct line-of-sight is not available for remote control, your custom
home theater installer can purchase an External IR Remote Sensor (OPPO part number IR-ES1) and plug it
into the IR IN port. Place the sensor head at a location where there is direct line-of-sight to ensure reliable
operation. The External IR Remote Sensor is available from your dealer or directly from OPPO Digital, Inc.
If you have another OPPO device that features an IR IN port, the IR OUT port on the BDP-83 can pass
through remote control signal to the next OPPO device. For example, if you use an OPPO HM-31 Advanced
3x1 HDMI Switch to expand the HDMI inputs on your TV, the IR IN port of the HM-31 can be connected to the
IR OUT port of the BDP-83 using a 3.5mm stereo cable.

Setting Up the Player - Easy Setup Wizard
Access the Easy Setup Wizard
When the player is turned on for the first time, an Easy Setup Wizard screen will appear. It is a series of
guided instructions designed to configure the basic settings for the player.
To start the Easy Setup Wizard, please follow these steps:
1) Turn on the TV.
2) Turn on the player.
3) Switch the input selection on your TV so that the TV displays the signal from the player. You
should see the first step of the Easy Setup Wizard.

Select the Best Output Resolution
One of the major advantages of the OPPO 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.
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 down-
scale 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 OPPO 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.
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.
The OPPO Blu-ray Disc Player supports a special “Source Direct” output resolution on its HDMI output. This
resolution is recommended for use with external video processors or high-end TVs. In “Source Direct” mode,
the player works as a “transport”. It decodes video from the discs and then sends the raw video signal in its
native resolution and format, without extra processing, to the external video processor or TV. The actual
output resolution varies by content:
Content Source Direct Output Resolution
NTSC DVD 480i
PAL DVD 576i
Most Blu-ray Movies (film-source) 1080p 23.976Hz or 1080p 24Hz
Most Blu-ray TV shows or Concerts
(video-source)
1080i
SACD and DVD-Audio 1080i
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 component output, the following output
resolutions are available: 1080i, 720p, 480p/576p
and 480i/576i. Please refer to the specification of
your TV to find the best resolution to use.

Press the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons to select
the desired output resolution, then press the
ENTER button. The player will apply the selected
output resolution and ask you to confirm the
selection. If your TV supports the selected
resolution, you will see a dialog box with a count-
down clock. Use the LEFT ARROW button to
highlight the “OK” option and press the ENTER
button to save the resolution setting. If your TV
does not support the selected resolution, you may
see a black screen or an error message. In this
case please wait for 15 seconds and the Easy
Setup screen will reappear. Select a different
resolution that your TV can support.
NOTE
In case you are not able to get a picture using the HDMI or component output, please
connect the player to the TV using the composite video output, and then use the Setup
Menu to adjust the player settings.
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 CSS-encrypted 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.
Determine the Display Aspect Ratio
Standard Definition, or 4:3 TV
Wide screen, or 16:9 TV
The aspect ratio is the proportional ratio of a TV screens width and height. Older television sets generally
have a 4:3 aspect ratio – the width is 4/3 (or 1.33) times the height. Newer wide screen television sets have a
16:9 aspect ratio – the width is 16/9 (or 1.78) times the height. For best performance, the video output of your
player needs to match the screen aspect ratio of your TV. Since almost all Blu-ray Discs and many DVD discs
are released in the wide screen format, it is highly recommended that you use a wide screen TV with the
player.
The Aspect Ratio selections are 4:3 Letterbox, 4:3 Pan & Scan, 16:9 Wide, and 16:9 Wide/Auto.
Depending on your selection and the video format recorded on the discs, image appearance on the TV screen
can be one of the following:

Select the Audio Setting
The Blu-ray Disc format brings not only high resolution video, but also high bit rate audio such as Dolby Digital
Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD High Resolution and DTS-HD Master Audio. Blu-ray Discs may also include
additional audio features such as menu click sound and Secondary Audio Program (SAP – audio associated
with the secondary video in Picture-in-Picture mode). Depending on the user preferences and other
audio/video equipment connected to the player, the audio settings need to be adjusted to achieve the best
result. The Easy Setup Wizard offers two basic selections to get you started.
The “Compatible” setting configures audio output
in a way that is generally compatible with all types
of equipment and content. If you connect the
player to a television directly, or to a receiver with
an HDMI 1.1/1.2 or optical/coaxial input, selecting
the “Compatible” setting is recommended. When
menu click sound and Secondary Audio Program
are presented in the content, those will be mixed
into the audio output.
The “Advanced” setting configures audio output to
send the original main audio content to a
connected receiver for decoding and reproducing.
It requires a receiver capable of decoding all high
bit rate audio formats. If you connect the player to
a receiver supporting HDMI 1.3 and high bit rate audio formats, selecting the “Advanced” setting is
recommended. Menu click sound and Secondary Audio Program are turned off by default to preserve the
original quality of the main audio content.
Press the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons to select one of the audio setting choices, and then press the ENTER
button. The two basic audio setting choices may not cover all situations. You can further customize the audio
settings using the player’s Setup Menu.

This function is available only when the discs are recorded with secondary video and
audio programs.
Discs may not always be played back according to the PIP and SAP buttons. Certain
discs can ignore or override the remote control commands.
The PIP and SAP Marks on the screen can be turned off using the Setup Menu of the
player. (see page 47)
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
17)
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
69).

TV System Selection
P/N
While you may want to set the video output system (NTSC/PAL) to the same
as that supported by your TV, realize that the OPPO Blu-ray Disc Player will
convert any content that is not in the correct format your TV understands. The
default output is NTSC for North America.
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.
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.
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
49 for details.)
Output Resolution
RESOLUTION
The OPPO BDP-83 Blu-ray Disc Player supports multiple output
resolutions. For detailed discussion on how to choose the best output
resolution, please refer to the

If you would like to change the output resolution, you may do so by
pressing the RESOLUTION button on the remote control:
1. Make sure the video cable is properly connected.
2. Turn on the TV. Adjust the TV to use the proper input (HDMI, DVI or Component).
3. Make sure that the player is turned on. Although the output resolution can be changed “on the
fly”, it is recommended that you stop playback and take out the disc before changing the output
resolution. Press the RESOLUTION button. A “Resolution Setting” menu appears on the TV
screen. In case the TV does not support the current resolution and you cannot see the
“Resolution Setting” menu, the current resolution is also displayed on the front panel.
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.
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.

Some TV sets do not support one or more output resolutions (particularly 1080p). If
an incompatible output resolution is selected, you will get a blank screen or an error
message. In this case please select an output resolution that is supported by the TV.
In case you are not able to get a picture using the HDMI or component output, please
connect the player to the TV using the composite video output, then use the Setup
Menu to adjust the player settings.
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 CSS-encrypted and will be limited to 480i/480p resolution.
This restriction applies to the component output only. The HDMI output is protected

Device
The OPPO BDP-83 Blu-ray Disc Player is equipped with two USB ports, one on
the front panel and the other on the back. You may use either to plug in a USB
drive stored with digital music, movie and photo files.
The USB ports are rated to provide a maximum of 5V, 500mA power to the
USB drive. It is sufficient for all USB thumb drives and flash memory card
readers, but may not be sufficient for USB hard disks. It is recommended
that you use a USB hard disk with an external power supply.
NOTE
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 must be formatted with the FAT (File Allocation Table) or FAT32
file system. Drives formatted with NTFS file system are not supported.
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.
The Home Menu
When a USB drive or an optical disc stored with media files is inserted, the player presents a “Home Menu” to

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. With the OPPO BDP-83 there are six (6) Setup
Menu sections listed in the left column of the Setup Menu screen. They are: 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 Icon appears at the top or bottom of the menu when there are more Menu Items or Selections than
what can fit in a screen. You may use the UP and DOWN ARROW buttons to scroll the display in order to
access additional items.

The preceding diagram should give a good description of the various elements and their context. In this
screen we could, for example, instruct you to set the PIP Mark parameter to Off in the Playback Setup
section. To indicate where we were, you would see the following: Playback Setup > PIP Mark > Off.
NOTE
It is possible that some setup items are grayed-out and inaccessible. This can be caused by
disc still being played back or interlocking with mutually exclusive setup items. Please stop
playback or eject the disc before trying to change these setup items. If you still cannot
access the setup item, please check for configuration conflicts and consistency. For
example, if “Video Setup > 1080p24 Output” is set to “Off”, the “DVD 24p Conversion
menu item will be grayed-out. Setting “1080p24 Output” to “On” will enable the “DVD 24p
Conversion” setting.
To access the player’s Setup Menu simply press the SETUP button on the remote control. Since some Setup
Menu options can become inaccessible when the player is playing a disc, it is recommended that you operate
the Setup Menu when playback is fully stopped or when there is no disc in the player.

Adjust picture control parameters
1. Picture Adjustment: To adjust picture control parameters. The OPPO BDP-83 Blu-ray Disc
Player provides a wide array of picture controls. Please refer to the
Picture Adjustment section
on page
51 of this manual for details of each control.
2. Primary Output: To select the primary video output port. The options are:
HDMI – Use HDMI as the primary video output port. This setting will ensure that the HDMI
output gets the best possible picture quality. The VRS video processor will be used unless
“Source Direct” output resolution is selected, in which case VRS video processing is
bypassed. Component and composite video output may not be available or may be limited
to a lower resolution based on content source limitations.
Component – Use component video as the primary video output port. This setting will
ensure that the component output will always be available and displays proper video
signals. With this configuration, the video decoder in the player performs any necessary
format conversion. The VRS video processor is completely bypassed when using the
component output.
NOTE
Copyright control mechanisms encoded on the disc may limit the output resolution of the
component video output. For DVD, if CSS encryption is in use the output resolution is limited
to no more than 480p/576p; for Blu-ray Discs, the output resolution is limited to no more than
1080i, and could be lower if the disc contains the Image Constraint Token.
3. TV Aspect Ratio: To set the aspect ratio of the player’s output image. The options are :
4:3 Letterbox – Choose this when the display is standard 4:3. A widescreen image is
displayed in “letterbox” format with black borders on top and bottom.
4:3 Pan & Scan – Choose this when the display is standard 4:3. A widescreen image will
be stretched.
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.
SETUP MENU OPTIONS
50
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.
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 21 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 resolution is enabled.
PAL – When playing PAL-encoded discs, no system conversion is performed. NTSC-
encoded contents are converted to PAL output. Blu-ray Discs encoded with 24Hz frame
rate are converted to 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 24Hz frame rate are converted to
60Hz frame rate if neither 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 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.
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 20 of this manual.
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:
Auto – 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.
On – Video encoded in 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 (default) – Video encoded in 24Hz frame rate will be converted to 60Hz (NTSC) or
50Hz (PAL)
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
SETUP MENU OPTIONS

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:
On – Convert DVD to 24Hz frame rate when possible.
Off (default) – 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.
8. HDMI Options: To configure video options that are unique to the HDMI output. This item
contains a sub-menu with multiple configuration options. Please refer to the
HDMI Options
section on page
53 of this manual for details of each option.
9. Screen Saver: To turn on/off the screen saver function. The screen saver is designed to
minimize burn-in concerns for plasma and CRT display devices. The available options are:
On – 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 to rest and gives all
areas an equal opportunity to refresh.
Off – The screen saver will not be activated. Use this option if your TV does not have a
burn-in issue.
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 cancelled 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 the optimal picture quality and visual result. To use Picture Adjustment,
press the SETUP button on the remote control to enter the player’s Setup Menu, and then choose “Video
Setup” – “Picture Adjustment”. The Setup Menu will be replaced by the Picture Adjustment menu:

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 the Spears & Munsil™ High Definition Benchmark Blu-ray Edition or Digital Video
Essentials HD Basics as aids for adjusting. First adjust the television’s picture controls for
the best possible picture. Once that is done, try changing the player’s settings to further
refine the picture to the optimal result.
3. Hue: To adjust the hue (tint) of the video output. This control only applies to analog video
output (component and composite)
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 appear soft. The positive levels increase the enhancement. The
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.
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.
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
SETUP MENU OPTIONS
53
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.
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 OPPO BDP-83
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.
7. Noise Reduction: To select whether the player shall apply video noise reduction processing.
Noise reduction levels can be set between 0 and 8. The default is level 0, which turns off noise
reduction. When set to a smaller positive level, the player adjusts the picture quality by
reducing the “mosquito noise” (artifacts around the outlines of objects). When set to a high level
between 6 and 8, the player also uses detail and edge enhancement controls to reduce “block
noise” (mosaic-like patterns caused by video compression) and “film grain noise” (natural
variation of picture intensity caused by film grain). Excessive noise reduction may cause a loss
of details. We recommend using the noise reduction function only when you encounter poorly
encoded or compressed video that has apparent noise artifacts.
8. Y/C Delay: To adjust the time difference between the Luminance (Y) and Chrominance (Pb/Pr
or Cb/Cr) channels of the video signal. When there is a significant lag between the channels,
the image will look “smeared” because the color component is not lining up properly to the black
and white luminance component. Adjust the Y/C delay setting only when the TV or projector
has a Y/C delay problem. For a display device that normally does not have Y/C alignment
problems, keep the Y/C delay setting at its default level of 0. The Y/C delay setting applies to
the HDMI output only.
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.
HDMI Options
HDMI Options are 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. 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 OPPO BDP-83
utilizes the Precision De-interlacing™ 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:
SETUP MENU OPTIONS
54
Auto (default) – Source adaptive de-interlacing is on. This is the recommended setting as it
sets the player to optimally process a variety of signal types.
Film Bias Mode – The Film Bias Mode may improve film mode detection in some cases.
Video Mode – Turn off film mode detection and treat all contents as video origin. De-
interlacing 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
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.
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.
2. CUE-Correction – To select whether the player should apply chroma filtering to remove
Chroma Up-sampling Errors (CUE) and Interlaced Chroma Problem (ICP). CUE is caused by
improper decoding and de-interlacing of MPEG encoded video. The OPPO BDP-83 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:
Auto (Recommended) – Automatic chroma error detection and correction. Use this setting
when you are not sure if the disc has chroma errors.
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.
3. Color Space – To select the color space for the HDMI 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.)
4. 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
SETUP MENU OPTIONS
55
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:
30 Bits – Use the 30-bit per pixel Deep Color mode.
36 Bits – Use the 36-bit per pixel Deep Color mode.
Off (default) – Do not use Deep Color.
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.
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.
5. 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 and Noise Reduction.
It should NOT be used for normal movie watching. The available options are:
On – The video screen will be split in half. The left side demonstrates the result of the
VRS™ video processing, and the right side shows video without the help VRS video
processing.
Off (default) – Normal viewing mode.
6. A/V Sync – To add a delay to the HDMI audio output. If you experience audio/video
synchronization problem, you may use this option to add a slight delay to the audio so it is
synchronized to the video.
Use the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons to highlight the A/V Sync menu item. Press the
ENTER button.
Press the LEFT/RIGHT ARROW buttons to adjust delay. The audio delay can be adjusted
in 10ms steps.
Press the ENTER button to confirm the new A/V Sync setting and return to the Audio
Processing Setup Menu.

1. Secondary Audio: To set the Secondary Audio Program mixing option. Some Blu-ray Discs
contain a secondary audio and video program, such as the director’s commentary. Some Blu-
ray Discs have a sound effect when you make menu choices. This Setup Menu item allows you
to decide whether to mix the Secondary Audio Program and menu clicking sound into the
primary audio. The options are:
On – The Secondary Audio Program and menu clicking sound are mixed into the primary
audio. Usually this will cause the primary audio volume to be slightly reduced. High
resolution primary audio will be converted to a normal resolution in order to mix with the
secondary audio.
Off – The Secondary Audio Program and menu clicking sound are not mixed into the
primary audio and you cannot hear the secondary audio or menu clicking sound. This
setting preserves the highest possible audio quality for the primary audio.
2. HDMI Audio: To select digital audio output format from the HDMI port. The options are:
LPCM – Digital audio output via HDMI will be multi-channel Linear PCM format. When this
option is selected, compressed audio bit streams will be decoded by the player. This
setting is recommended when connecting the HDMI output directly to a TV or to a receiver
without advanced audio decoding capabilities.
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

57
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.
3. SACD Output: To select audio output format for SACD. The options are:
PCM – SACD Direct Stream Digital (DSD) data is converted into multi-channel, high-
resolution PCM data. The converted PCM data is then output through HDMI or the internal
DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) for 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 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.
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:
LPCM – Forces down-mixed 2-channel digital audio output. Choose this setting if your
receiver/amplifier only supports stereo digital (PCM) audio.
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.
192K – Allows the highest sampling rate and frequency response. It can result in the best
audio quality. Ensure that the receiver/amplifier can support it.

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. 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.

The following speaker parameters can be configured:
1. Size: The speaker size parameter sets bass filtering control for the speakers. The bass crossover
frequency is fixed at 80Hz. The options are:
Large – Bass frequencies are passed to the speakers.
Small – Bass frequencies are not passed to the speakers to reduce possible distortion. If the
subwoofer is available, bass frequencies are redirected to the subwoofer.
On (for subwoofer only) – Specify that a subwoofer is available.
Off – Speaker for the corresponding position does not exist. Audio for the missing speaker is
redirected to other speakers or discarded if redirection is not possible.
NOTE
The front, surround and surround back speakers are configured as pairs. Changes to the
size of one speaker will automatically change the other speaker of the pair.
2. Distance: The speaker distance parameters sets 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.
Since the delay is calculated based on the distance difference from each speaker to the listener’s
position, it is important to set the distance for the front speakers first and then the other speakers.
Anytime you change the distance of the front speakers, the distance of the other speakers will be
automatically adjusted to maintain the same distance difference.

measure the same distance. If they do not, please adjust them if possible. Enter the distance of the
Front Speakers (n in the above picture) into the “Speaker Configuration” menu.
Next, measure the distance (in feet) from center speaker (o) 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 the center, subwoofer and surround channels to make sure sound waves from
different speakers arrive at the listener at the same time.
Distance between the surround speakers and the listener must be shorter than or equal to that
between the front speakers and the listener.
In case 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 Level: 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.
Other Audio Processing Settings
In addition to Speaker Configuration, Dynamic Range Control is another audio processing setting
that can be configured:
1. Dynamic Range Control: To set the Dynamic Range Compression (DRC). DRC can smooth out
the sonic peaks and valleys common with wide-range digital audio. Enabling DRC may make low
level audio more audible during low-level listening. Turning off DRC restores the sonic energy
present in the original recording. The available options are:
Auto – Play at the dynamic range specified by the disc. This option applies to Blu-ray
Discs only. For other disc types no dynamic range compression is applied.
On – Turn on dynamic range compression.
Off – Turn off dynamic range compression.

products placed close to the BDP-83.
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.
SETUP MENU OPTIONS

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 9 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.
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 OPPO BDP-83 Blu-ray Disc
Player provides three modes for the HDMI CEC function:
On – HDMI CEC is enabled. Use this mode if your other devices are compatible with the
player.
Limited – HDMI CEC is enabled but the BDP-83 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.
Off – HDMI CEC feature is turned off. The player will not respond to HDMI CEC
commands from other devices, nor will it setup other devices automatically.
5. 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:
Storage Device – To select which storage device should be used as the persistent storage.
The OPPO BDP-83 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.
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.

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 OPPO Digital’s 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. The options are:

This option ensures that you are accessing only authentic content, although it may block
your access to smaller independent content providers.

when you initially connect the player to the Internet, or whenever changes to “IP Configuration” and
