Samsung Understanding BD Wise Features for Optimal Blu-ray Playback

BD Wise (Samsung TVs only)

BD Wise is Samsung’s latest inter-connectivity feature.

When you connect a Samsung player and a Samsung TV with BD Wise to each other via HDMI, and BD Wise is on in both the player and TV, the player outputs video at the video resolution and frame rate of the Blu-ray Disc/ DVDs.

✎NOTES

When BD Wise is on, the Resolution setting automatically defaults to BD Wise and BD Wise appears in the Resolution menu.

If the player is connected to a device that does not support BD Wise, you cannot use the BD Wise function.

For proper operation of BD Wise, set the BD Wise menu of both the player and the TV to On.

Resolution

Lets you set the output resolution of the HDMI video signal to Auto, 1080p, 1080i, 720p or 576p/480p. The number indicates the number of lines of video per frame. The i and p indicate interlaced and progressive scan, respectively. The more lines, the higher the quality.

✎NOTES

If the TV you connected to the player does not support Movie Frame or the resolution you selected, the message "If no pictures are shown after selecting ‘Yes’, please wait for 15 seconds to return to the previous resolution. Do you want to change the resolution?" appears. If you select Yes, the TV’s screen will go blank for 15 seconds, and then the resolution will revert to the previous resolution automatically.

If the screen stays blank after you have changed the resolution, remove all discs, and then press and hold the p button on the front of the player for more than 5 seconds. All settings are restored to the factory default. Follow the steps on the previous page to access each mode and select the Display Setup that your TV will support.

When the factory default settings are restored, all stored user BD data is deleted.

The Blu-ray Disc must have the 24 frame feature for the player to use the Movie Frame (24 fps) mode.

Movie Frame (24 fps)

Setting the Movie Frame (24 fps) feature to Auto allows you to adjust the player’s HDMI output to 24 frames per second for improved picture quality.

You can enjoy the Movie Frame (24 fps) feature only on a TV supporting this frame rate. You can select Movie Frame only when the player is in the HDMI 1080p output resolution modes.
