MEDIA FILE PLAYBA CK
In addition to playing standard disc-based formats such as Blu-ray Disc, DVD, CD and SACD, the
OPPO BDP-83 Blu-ray Disc Player can play media files. You can enjoy digital music, movies and
photos stored on an optical disc (recordable CD or DVD) or a USB drive. Due to the variation of media,
encoding software and techniques used, compatibility cannot be guaranteed for all user-created or
downloaded contents. Support for such contents is on a best effort basis.

Playback from a USB Drive

USB
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
assist you in navigating and playing the files. You can also bring up the Home Menu with the HOME button
on the remote control. The Home Menu is the starting point for accessing media files.
