BD Wise (Samsung Players 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.

Off : The output resolution stays fixed at the resolution you set previously in the Resolution menu, regardless of the resolution of the disc. See Resolution below.

On : The player outputs video at the original resolution and frame rate of the Blu-ray Disc/ DVDs.

NOTE

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 can not 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.

Auto : Automatically sets the output resolution to the connected TV’s maximum resolution.

BD Wise : Automatically sets the resolution to the resolution of the Blu-ray Disc/DVDs if you have connected the player via HDMI to a TV with the BD Wise feature. (The BD Wise menu item appears only if BD Wise is set to On. See BD Wise above.)
