1.Connect the OPPO player into your system.

2.Turn on the TV and/or receiver/amplifier, and then turn on the player.

3.Switch the input selection on your TV or receiver so that the TV displays the signal from the player.

Within a few seconds, the player will load the factory default settings and you will see the Home Menu with an OPPO logo. The player is now ready for use. Enjoy your new OPPO Blu-ray Disc Player!

Please follow the rest of the user manual for information on basic and advanced operations.

Select the Best Output Resolution

One of the major advantages of the BDP-103 is its ability to play high-definition Blu-ray video and also up- convert standard definition video stored on DVD discs to high definition. The sophisticated video processor inside the player ensures that the video will have the best possible color, detail and motion. The player offers several standard and high definition video output resolutions. For best results, it is important to select an output resolution that best matches your TV or display.

The rule of thumb when selecting an output resolution is to match the “native resolution” of your TV or display as closely as possible. The “native resolution” is the resolution of the actual display component in the TV, such as the Plasma panel, LCD panel, or DLP™ chip. The TV may accept input signals with lower or higher resolutions than its native resolution. In such cases, the electronics in the TV will upscale or downscale the video to fit its display component. Unfortunately, many TVs on the market only do an average job of scaling the video. On the other hand, if you set the BDP-103 to output a resolution that matches or is very close to the native resolution of the TV, you are more likely to get a great picture.

For most new displays on the market, the best output resolution will be 1080p. A few early model “1080p” displays did not accept a 1080p signal. For these displays, the best output resolution is 1080i. For small screen digital TVs this will likely be 720p. For even earlier CRT tube or rear projection TVs this will likely be 1080i. For EDTV displays (very rare if they have HDMI or DVI) this will be 480p (NTSC) or 576p (PAL). These are general recommendations that work for most users, but there can be exceptions. Advanced users may want to try all supported resolutions and choose the one that provides the best result visually.

The BDP-103 supports a special Source Direct mode through its HDMI outputs. This resolution is recommended for use with external video processors or high-end TVs. In Source Direct mode, the player works as a “transport”. It decodes video from the discs and then sends the raw video signal in its native resolution and format, without extra processing, to the external video processor or TV. The actual output resolution varies by content:
