HISTORY

Since the advent of recorded media in thelate 1800s, audio and video entertainmenthas been an ever-growing part of society.Several of the largest and most powerful

companies began in, or have ties in, themedia industry. Radio and Televisionbrought the industry into the home. Theearly 1970s marked the beginning ofHome Theaters with the arrival of videocassette tapes. VHSs entry to themarketplace in 1976 began the rise ofHome Theaters to the mainstream, withultimately most every US household havingthe ability to watch pre-recorded moviesat will.

LaserDiscs arrival in 1978 marked the first consumer optical disc format. VHS made it possible toconsumers to view movies within their own homes, whenever they wanted. LaserDisc made it possibleto consumers to experience non-linear playback, meaning one could easily jump from point to pointin a movie without having to scan forward or backward. LaserDisc was also the first format to use alaser to read pits and grooves on a disc to translate data. While LaserDisc was a major technologicaladvancement, it was never very popular.

Compact Discs hit the market in 1981 as an audio only format of LaserDisc. The now familiar 12cmdisc size was first used for CDs. The large success of the CD format more than made up for LaserDiscslackluster popularity, and let the industry know that optical media was a viable format.

The early 1990s saw some advancements to the Compact Disc format. CD-I (Compact Disc Interactive),in 1991, explored the interactive aspects of digital media delivery. VideoCDs, introduced in 1993,began the compression of video content to fit on a 12cm disc.

In 1996, twenty years after the emergence of VHS, the Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) format wasintroduced. DVD quickly became the standard for Home Theater media. DVD expanded on the at willaspect of VHS and the non-linear aspect of LaserDisc by adding improved picture quality, surroundsound, and multiple audio tracks (multiple languages). DVD has become the most popular form ofmedia, in many cases generating more revenue than theater ticket sales.

In the ten years since the introduction of DVD, and thirty years since the introduction of VHS, therehas grown a need for a new, more advanced media format. The rise of High Definition TVs and

programming drives a desire for a media format that accommodates high resolution. The existing DVDformat, holding 4.7GB per layer, is simply not robust enough for high definition content. The successof optical media and DVD in particular lays a substantial base for a next generation format.

The most logical method to increase data capacity on a disc is to make the data smaller. Since data ison an optical disc in the form of pits and grooves, reducing the size of the pits and grooves will allowmore data on the disc. The trick lies in the fact that if the data is smaller, the device to read thedata must also be reduced in size in order to read it. In the case of optical discs, the device to readdata is a laser beam. By definition, a laser beam is already focused into a optimal size and cannot bephysically changed. However, there is a way to change the size of lasers.

OVERVIEW

Wave patterns have three characteristics,

Amplitude, Frequency, and wavelength decreases.Wavelength is a direct correlation with size. Oncewavelengths enter the light spectrum, higherfrequencies equal lower wavelength. ThereforeRed light has the largest wavelength in the visiblespectrum and Violet has the smallest wavelength.

CD technology uses what is technically an Infrared(785nm) laser. DVD technology, holding about 7 timesmore data than CD, uses what is considered a Ruby Red(660nm) laser. The Next-Gen DVD technologies use anew Blue-Violet (405nm) laser. This new Blue laserhas a much smaller wavelength, and in turn a smaller

size. As a result, this Blue laser can read smaller data.This is the principle behind increasing capacity for theNext-Gen formats.

The Next-Gen technology main discussed in this manualis Blu-ray Disc (BD). By using the Blue lasers smaller

spot size (0.58m vs. DVDs 1.32m) and smaller dataareas on the disc (Track pitch of 0.32 m vs. DVDs0.74m and Minimum pit length of 0.149m vs. DVDs0.74m), BD technology allows for 25GB of data perlayer on a disc.

FORMAT WARS

With two formats competing to become the predominate next-generation DVD format, the consumermarket will witness, and be in the middle of, another format war. The concept of a format war isnot new for the market. The most memorable format war was for dominance in the video cassetteindustry, VHS vs. Betamax.

VHS VS. BETAMAX

Format wars often have many battle points and are sometimes decided by unexpected factors. Ifthe video cassette war was decided on quality, then Betamax (Beta) would have dominated. TheBeta format was considered by many as a better format, providing better picture quality than VHS.The VHS format initially had more desirable recording aspects than Beta by having longer recordingtimes. The Beta format was quickly adjusted to meet the same recording requirements.

However, other factors had a stronger influence. The Betamax format was a proprietary technologywhile VHS was more widely available. Therefore, VHS technologies and equipment was less expensiveand available to more brands. Consumers simply had more choices of VHS than they did of Beta.What many consider the end of the format war is the decision of the pornographic movie industryto market home videos in the VHS format. While this does leave a lasting impression in the war,it is simply a continuation of the fact that VHS equipment was less costly, both for playbackdevices as well as production equipment.

DVD VS. VHS

VHS remained the main choice of consumers for home entertainment even after the introduction ofDVD Players. While DVD Players were first introduced in 1996, they were often considered too

expensive and too high-end by most consumers. However, Sonys introduction of the PlayStation2 video game console in late 2000 marked a change in DVDs popularity. The enormous success ofthe Sony PlayStation (over 100 million units) made the demand for the next version of a PlayStationhigh. The PlayStation 2 became the fastest selling gaming console in history. For many people, theirPlayStation 2 was more than simply a game console; it was also their first DVD Player. Shortlyafterwards, prices began to fall on DVD Players and DVDs popularity rocketed past VHS.

The death of VHS did not begin until later. While DVD was the format of choice due to itsimproved picture quality and non-linear access, VHS still held a segment of the market due to itsrecording abilities. DVD did not become a viable recording option for CE consumers until 2002-


9/58


OVERVIEW

2003, with the introduction of consumer DVD Recorders. Once DVD had consumed all of VHSsstrong points, VHS began to fade away.

BD VS. HD DVD

The consumer market will most likely not support two competing formats for long. The determiningfactor as to which format will survive is unclear. However, past factors have already been addressed.Both formats have a large number of supporting companies. While the HD DVD format has thesupport of the DVD Forum, many manufacturers favor the BD format. Likewise, several moviestudios back the BD format either exclusively or produced discs for both formats.

The 7th Gen. Video Gaming Console battles have already begun with the Sony PlayStation3 andMicrosoft Xbox360. Both consoles offer support for next-gen DVD formats. The Sony Playstation3includes a built-in BD Player, while the Microsoft Xbox360 has an optional external HD DVD player.

The BD format, unlike the DVD format, had record ability in mind at the concept stage. There willnot be a necessary addition to the format in order to satisfy all consumer needs. In short, no oneknows which format will prevail, nor does anyone know exactly what factor will decide the outcome.However, all known bases seem to be covered.

COMPARISON BETWEEN BD AND HD DVD

While both BD and HD DVD technologies employ a blue laser and are used for High Definition moviecontent, there are several fundamental differences between the formats. Both formats call for a12cm disc with a 15mm center hole, however the other physical characteristics differ. Burst CuttingAreas (BCA) and Information Areas of the disc vary slightly. Both discs follow the same 1.2mmthickness standard of the DVD format. The data layer of a BD disc is only 0.1mm behind theprotective bottom of the disc. The HD DVD format once again follows the DVD standard of having thedata layer in the middle of the 1.2mm disc, at a depth of 0.6mm.

The BD format has a high capacity that disc in the HD DVD format. BD discs can hold 25GB per layer

and a typical Dual Layered disc will hold 50GB of data. HD DVD discs can only hold about 15GB perlayer with a Dual Layered disc holding 30GB of data. This higher capacity also allows the BD format tosupport higher bitrates (54Mbps for BD) than HD DVD (36Mbps).

The disc manufacturing process is different for the two formats as well. The HD DVD format discshare many characteristics as DVD disc and therefore share some manufacturing equipment. The BDdiscs, however, require more of a complete retooling to produce. Therefore, it is expected thatinitially HD DVD discs will have a lower production cost that BD discs. The actual creation process fordual layer DVD and HD DVD discs involves one half of the disc to be flipped over and then glued to theother half. In the BD creation process, the entire disc is made as one cohesive unit, not requiringgluing. As a result, it is expected that ultimately the BD format disc will have a lower production

cost.HDMI

HDMI is an audio and video connection interface. The first, and most obvious, advantage of HDMI isthe fact that both audio and video signals are carried on a single cable. The second advantage ofHDMI that a consumer will notice is the fact that HDMI transmits digital signals. (Other interfacessuch as Component Video and RGB must convert digital signals to analog prior to transmission andthen be reconverted back to digital within the connected device.) The aspect somewhat unseen toconsumers, yet a major advantage to the CE industry, is HDMIs ability to provide two-way communicationbetween devices. In fact, an electronic devices I2C Bus is extended on the HDMI connection.

HDMI VIDEO

HDMI allows any video format timing tobe transmitted and displayed. The videopixels carried across the link shall be inone of three different pixel encodings:

RGB 4:4:4YCBCR 4:4:4

YCBCR 4:2:2

The HDMI source determines the pixelencoding and video format of thetransmitted signal based on thecharacteristics of the source video, theformat and pixel encoding conversionspossible at the source device, and theformat and pixel encoding capabilities and performance of the display device.

In order to provide maximum compatibility between video sources and display devices, specificminimum requirements have been specified.

An HDMI Source shall support at least one of the following video format timings:

640x480p @ 59.94 / 60 Hz

720x480p @ 59.94 / 60 Hz

An HDMI source that is capable of transmitting any of the following video format timings using anyother component analog or uncompressed digital video output, shall be capable of transmittingthat video format timing across the HDMI interface:

1280x720p @ 59.94 / 60 Hz

1920x1080i @ 59.94 / 60 Hz720x480p @ 59.94 / 60 Hz

An HDMI Display Device that accepts 60Hz video formats shall support:

640x480p @ 59.94 / 60 Hz OR

720x480p @ 59.94 / 60 Hz

An HDMI Display Device that accepts 60Hz video formats and supports HDTV capabilities, shallsupport:

1280x720p @ 59.94 / 60 Hz OR

1920x1080i @ 59.94 / 60 Hz

An HDMI Display Device that is capable of receiving any of the following video formats using any

other component analog video input shall be capable of receiving that format across HDMI:1280x720p @ 59.94 / 60 Hz

1920x1080i @ 59.94 / 60 Hz

In short, HDMI supports all video formats (including 1080p) and if a Display Device supports anygiven video format on an input, that same format must be supported on its HDMI input.

OVERVIEW

HDMI AUDIO

The HDMI interfaces ability to transmit audio distinguishes it from other connection formats. Thisaspect allows users to connect devices using a single cable, bypassing the confusing spider web ofcables often found behind home theater systems. HDMI supports high-bandwidth uncompresseddigital audio and all currently-available compressed formats (such as Dolby Digital and DTS). In

addition, the 1.3 revision of HDMI adds supports for new, lossless compressed digital audio formatsDolby TrueHD and DTS-HD.

HDMI COMMUNICATION

Since the HDMI interface extends the I2C Bus, vast communication aspects are available. One of themost often used communications on HDMI is HDCP authentication. HDCP implementations forHDMI adhere to HDCP specification 1.10. HDCP is designed for protecting Audiovisual content overhigh-bandwidth interfaces (HDMI and DVI) from being copied. Without copy-protection establishmentand verification, most programming will not be displayed at high resolutions. It is for this reason,and the fact that Component Video cannot pass copy-protection, that HDMI is such a valuableinterface.

Once HDCP is established, EDID information is transmitted via the HDMI interface. EDID includesdata outlining a Display Devices capabilities that is interpreted by the Source. The source devicewill then automatically adjust to the capabilities of the Display. For example, if a Display Device cansupport 720p but not 1080i, the source device will set to 720p and remove 1080i as an option.

Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) is an optional protocol used in HDMI systems that allows HDMIdevices to pass control functions along to all devices within the system. CEC was designed tooperate at low speeds with minimal processing and memory overhead.

The following is a set of all the features offered with CEC. Devices may use all or only some of thesefeatures, depending upon functionality.

One Touch Play A device may be played and become the active source by the press of asingle button.

System Standby Enables devices to be set on standby by the press of a single button.

Preset Transfer A devices presets can be auto-configured to match those of the TV.

One Touch Record Allows recordings to be made by the press of a single button.

Timer Programming Any device can program a time recording on a recording device.

System Information allows devices to auto-configure their language and country settings.

Deck Control Allows a device to control and interrogate a playback device.

Tuner Control Allows a device to control the tuner of another device.

Vendor Specific Commands Allows vendor-defined commands to be used.

OSD Display Allows a device to display text using the on-screen display of the TV.Device Menu Control Allows a device to control the menu of another device.

Routing Control Enables control of CEC Switches for streaming of a new source device.

Remote Control Pass Through Allows Remote Control commands to be passed along to otherdevices within the system.

Device OSD Name Transfer Devices may request the preferred OSD name of other deviceswithin the system.

OVERVIEW

Because consumer electronics devices are using increasingly complex digital signal processing toenhance the clarity and detail of the content, synchronization of video and audio in user deviceshas become a greater challenge and could potentially require complex end-user adjustments. HDMI1.3 incorporates an automatic video/audio synching capability that allows devices to perform thissynchronization automatically with total accuracy.

HDMI REVISIONSThe HDMI interface was originally released in late 2002. Revision 1.1 was released in 2004 andadded support for DVD-Audio, as well as other aspects. Revision 1.2 was released in 2005 and mostnotably added support for 8ch audio. An update to version 1.2 was added in late 2005, to revision1.2a, with improvements to CEC. The current revision, 1.3, was released in June of 2006 withincreased bandwidth and support for lossless audio formats of Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MasterAudio. The goal of HDMI is to stay ahead of current technologies, and revision 1.3 is a perfectexample. The abilities of 1.3 reach far beyond currently available technologies. All version of HDMIinterface are compatible with other revisions. If devices with different versions of HDMI areconnected, the older revision is fully supported.

COMPRESSION

The Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) is the working group of ISO/IEC in charge of the developmentof standards for coded representation of digital audio and video. Established in 1988, the group hasproduced MPEG-1, the standard on which such products as Video CD and MP3 are based, MPEG-2, thestandard on which such products as Digital Television set top boxes and DVD are based, and MPEG-4,the standard for multimedia for the fixed and mobile web. (MPEG-3 is the designation for a group ofaudio and video coding standards designed to handle HDTV signals in the range of 20 to 40 Mbps. Inthe midst of development, it was determined that similar results were possible with slight modificationsto MPEG-2. Therefore, MPEG-3 was discontinued and never implemented. MPEG-3 should not beconfused with MPEG-1 Part 3 Layer 3, commonly known as MP3.)

As mentioned above, MPEG-1 is the compression format for Video CD and MP3. MPEG-2 is thecompression format used by both DVD and HDTV (ATSC broadcast). While MPEG-2 has six possibleprofiles @ four possible levels, it is most often seen in one of three variants; MP@ML (Main Profile@MainLevel) for DVD, and two variants of MP@HL (Main Profile@High Level) for HDTV. DVD allows forresolutions of 720x480, 704x480, 352x480, or 352x240. The HDTV variants allow for 1920x1080 and1280x720 resolutions. On the audio side, MPEG-2 expands on MPEG-1s audio compression by allowingfor multi-channel audio.

The fundamental complexities of the MPEG-2 compression format have required that decoders evolveinto basic computers. This over-simplified analogy leads to part of the understanding of the developmentof MPEG-4. Since the decoding devices are essentially computers, there is an increased processing

ability; therefore MPEG-4 was developed as a more robust compression format. MPEG-4 improvesupon some of the limitation of MPEG-2, such ad compression artifacts and macro-blocking. Theaspect of MPEG-4 discussed in this manual is MPEG-4 Part 10. This part/version is often referred to asMPEG-4 AVC (Advanced Video Coding) or as H.264. The main purpose of using MPEG-4 over MPEG-2 isthat MPEG-4 uses much lower bitrates than MPEG-2. MPEG-4 will typically be found in BD and HDDVD movies and some limited use by DirecTV.

Another compression format to mention is VC-1. VC-1 is the informal name of the SMPTE 421M videocodec. VC-1 uses similar bitrates and resolutions as MPEG-4 and is primarily used by Microsofts

AUDIO FORMATS

There are various formats that audio may be presented for home theaters. These formats will bebriefly discussed in chronological, as well as, technological order. The most basic audio format ismonaural (or mono) sound, which consists of a single audio channel. Mono sound can be presentedwith a single speaker (old TV, cassette tape player, simple radio, etc) or with two speakers producingidentical sounds. The next advancement of sound technology came in the form of stereophonic (orstereo) sound, which consists of two audio channels. Stereo sound was the first format to give depth

to audio by providing both left and right sound fields.The advent of surround sound began with the deployment of Dolby Pro Logic. The Dolby Pro Logicformat creates multi-channel surround sound by matrixing a center channel from the left and rightstereo signal. The same 2ch stereo is also matrixed into a single mono surround channel, which isoften reproduced with two surround speakers. Dolby Pro Logic processing is performed by a compatibleA/V Receiver. Dolby Pro Logic II is a later format developed as an improvement to the Pro Logicformat that matrixes into the same channels available in Dolby Digital 5.1 (see below) from simple 2channel stereo sound.

Dolby Digital (5.1), as well as the competing DTS Digital Surround format, uses discrete channelinformation, instead of matrixing, to provide sound for home theater use. The Dolby Digital 5.1 (andDTS Digital Surround) format carries sound data for 5 surround channels (Left Front, Center, RightFront, Left Surround, and Right Surround) and one Low Frequency Effects (SubWoofer) channel. Allsix channels are carried via digital audio cables to a compatible A/V Receiver or TV. Dolby Digital 5.1

and DTS Digital Surround combine to be the most widely used formats in Home Theaters.Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES formats are new processing technologies available in some newer A/VReceivers that can either decode discrete 6.1/7.1 channels or matrix the additional surround channelsfrom 5.1, depending on the subset. These extended surround formats create more of a sound envelopearound the listener.

New formats from Dolby Labs and DTS include lossless compression formats as well as high bitrates,for the next-generation in surround sound. Dolby Digital Plus (DD+) is a high bitrate (up to 6.144Mbps) 7.1channel format (with additional supports up to 13.1). Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MasterAudio, both offer lossless compression as well as high bitrates (up to 18Mbps).

Dolby Digital 5.1 (AC-3) is standard for

DVD, HDTV, and both of the next-gen.DVD formats, BD and HD DVD. DolbyDigital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-HDMaster Audio are slated for use in bothnext-gen. formats; mandatory in HD DVDPlayers, and Optional for BD Players.

The Blu-ray Disc format consists of fourbasic disc types; BD-ROM a prerecordedstamped disc, BD-R a write onceinorganic dye disc similar to DVDR, BD-RE a rewritable phase-change disc similar to DVDRW, andBD Hybrid an experimental dual-format disc with BD-ROM format on one side and DVD on the other.Since the BD-Hybrid format is not in use and is essentially a BD-ROM disc, most discussion will beabout 3 BD disc formats.

The BD format can be applied in one of three applications; ROM data storage and distribution such

as software and PC data, BD-ROM A/V prerecorded data consisting of audio and video informationusing in the form of a movie similar to the DVD-Video application, and BD-R/RE AV an user recordedformat of audio and video data similar to DVDR/RW usage in DVD Recorders. The first generationproduct discussed in this manual provides support for only the BD-ROM AV application. Therefore theBD technology discussed in this manual will primarily be that of the BD-ROM AV application.

The increase in disc capacity achieved by Blu-ray disc technology over DVD technology is due primarilyto three factors. The most obvious reason for increased capacity is that the laser bean provides asmaller dot area to read from and in turn allows for smaller portions of data, allowing for more dataon a disc. While this is a somewhat simplistic view of the technology, there are some finer aspects of

the physical structure of a Blu-ray Disc thatmake the capacity possible. The positioning ofthe data layer is much closer to the laser(0.1mm from bottom of disc) compared to thatof a CD (1.2mm), DVD (0.6mm), or HD-DVD

(0.6mm) disc. This helps prevent birefringence,or double refraction, where the substrate layerrefracts the laser light into two separate beams.If the beam is split too widely, the data is notread.

Another hurdle that Blu-ray Disc technologieshad to overcome was disc wobble. If a discssurface is not exactly flat, and therefore notperfectly perpendicular to the laser, the laserbeam becomes distorted. With the data layerbeing placed so close to the cdm, the problemof disc wobble is eliminated on BD.

NOTE: During the early stages of BDdevelopment, there was a concern thatsince the data layer was so close tothe disc surface, it would be moresusceptible to damage andunrecoverable errors from scratches

than typical DVDs. This fear causedthe early prototypes of BD discs andplayers to incorporate a caddy around

the disc to provided extendedprotection of the disc surface. However,by the time that Blu-ray DiscTechnology was released to the public,a special hard coating had been developed and placed over the data layer of the BD disc.

This hard coating resists scratches and fingerprints sufficiently enough to eliminate theneed for a caddy.

Once the smaller laser beam and disc structure were established, the disc read speeds could beincreased for the BD Technology. Blu-ray Disc movies are read at a rate of over 6.7MBps, or almost 5times faster than DVDs.

REGION CODES

REGIONAL PLAYBACK CONTROL (RPC) FOR DVD

Region Codes were established into the DVD Standard, mainly in order to protect the copyrightinterests associated with movies, as well as to respect and adhere to each countrys respective lawsand policies governing ratings, censorship, release windows, and rights for home video product. Theglobal market was divided into multiple regions. Each region is assigned a number. This Region Codeis coded into both DVD discs and DVD Players. Before a DVD movie will display, the Region Code inboth the Disc and the Player must match.

LG Zenith DVD Players sold in the U.S. and Canada are designed to play DVD discs labeled Region1 or ALL (0). Any modification to a DVD Player to enable it to play a DVD disc with any otherRegion Code is prohibited and automatically voids the warranty.

NOTE: Some DVD discs may not have a region code label even though their playback isprohibited by area limits.

RCE (REGIONAL CODING ENHANCEMENT) FOR DVD

Shortly after the establishment of DVDs on the market, certain people began to circumvent theRegion Code system and modify DVD Players to play all DVDs, regardless of Region Codes. Theplayers are usually referred to as Region Free or Multi-Region DVD Players. Any DVD Player thathas been modified, either physically or via software, no longer conforms to the DVD Standard and isvoid of any warranty. Most often, the manner in which DVD Players are modified to become RegionFree is that the Region Code embedded in the unit is changed to zero (0), meaning all regions.This initial method would allow most any DVD disc to play within the unit since the most commoncheck for the disc was for the software (on the disc) to confirm that the DVD Player was eitherthe same Region Code on the disc, or 0 (ALL).

Some production studios have added additional coding to the software on DVD movies called RCE,or Regional coding Enhancement. In short, the RCE coding checks the Region Code setting on the

DVD Player. If the Region Code of the player is 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8, then the disc will not playand an error screen is displayed. If the DVD Players Region Code is 1, then the disc is playable(RCE is only used on Region 1 DVDs).

NOTE:Due to the way that the software on some DVD Players establishes the Region Code,RCE encoded DVDs may displayed the error message even if the DVD Player has neverbeen modified or hacked. By entering the System Information screen, you can

determine the Region Code that the DVD is set to. If the DVD Player is set to Region1, report the problem, including all disc information and firmware version, to theEngineering Department.

FRONT PANEL

The layout of the BH100 is a very simplistic design. The black piano-like finish can be easily cleanedwith the cloth supplied with the unit. With the lack of a true front bezel, all of the backlit buttons

are contained on the top panel. The POWER button () is a physical button located on the left side.The remainder of the buttons, OPEN/CLOSE (), PLAY/PAUSE (), STOP (), and RESOLUTION (), aretouch-sensitive and located on the right side of the unit. As with most all LG Zenith DVD Players,that do not include a VCR, the Disc Tray () is center-mounted. The IR Receiver () and Display Panel() are located on the right side of the front.

Powering on the unit will cause the POWER button and LG Logo to light up, followed by the remainderof the buttons lighting up from left-to-right. The Display Panel will scroll PLEASE WAIT while theunit is powering up. In about 30 seconds from the initial power request, the unit will be fully booted.After approximately another 10 seconds the backlights for the buttons will turn off, leaving the LG

Logo on as a power-on indicator.NOTE: The control buttons are touch-sensitive and must not be pressed with force. A light touch

by a finger is all that is required to activate the button. Using objects other than humanfingers, such as pointing devices, discs, etc, may not activate the button(s) or cause

undesirable results.

TIP: By default, a slight chime, or beep sound, is played when a button is activated to alert the userthat the button request has been received. This can be disabled within the User Menu.

TIP: The control buttons can be disabled using the LOCK command from the Remote Control. Whenthe LOCK function is activated, LOCK ON will be shown on the Display Panel anytime a controlbutton is pressed on the unit. Simply pressing the LOCK button on the Remote Control will turn this

COMPONENT VIDEO

The component (YPbPr) video output iscapable of supporting 480i, 480p, 720p, and

1080i format video resolutions. However,since component video is an analogconnection and thus cannot support HDCPcopy-protection, 480p, 720p, and 1080i arenot available for DVD playback. Even if higherformats are selection, the video output willautomatically output at 480i during copy-protected DVD playback. If a BD or HD DVDdisc enables the ICT, or any other videoresolution constraint, the output resolutionfor component video may differ from the

selected resolution as well.

HDMI OUT

The HDMI output supports 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p format resolutions. 1080p output is onlyavailable during playback of BD or HD DVD movies that are formatted as 1080p, DVD playback islimited to a maximum resolution of 1080i.

NOTE: When the HDMI connection is established, EDID information is transmitted from theDisplay Device to the BH100. The BH100 will automatically adjust its resolution

settings to best match the abilities of the Display Device. If a Display Device reportsvia EDID data that it is incapable of displaying a resolution, the said resolution isno longer a selectable resolution on the BH100.

TEST (TEST TONE)

This menu option will produce a test tone to be played in each of the speakers. This can be used to

confirm that all connections are correct as well as to set speaker levels on external equipment.

DRC (DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL)

is a feature of the DVD Player to control the audio levels of movies. DVD movies typically have abroad dynamic range. This means that the difference between the lowest audio level and loudestaudio level is great. This is designed to provide a more lifelike movie experience since the volumecontrol must be turned up loud enough to hear the quiet parts of a movie, allowing the louder partsto give more realism. However, in some cases, this broad dynamic range is not desired, such as in adormitory, nursing home, or late at night when you do not want to disturb others. By turning theDRC feature ON, the DVD Player will raise the level of quiet sounds and lower the level of loudsounds, resulting in a narrow dynamic range closer to that of normal TV watching. For normal DVD

viewing, to receive the best sound experience, this feature should be OFF.

LOCK MENU

The Lock Menu is used to set Parental Controls in order to restrict certain aspects from viewing bychildren. Unlike V-Chip Parental Controls used in Television broadcasts, DVD Parental Controls are on anumber scale 1 -8. The lower the Ratingnumber, the more restrictions are put into place. Likewise,the higher the Rating number, the fewer restrictions are used. On most DVD movies, scenes areassigned a rating number. If the rating number of the scene is the same as or lower than the Ratingnumber set in the BD Player, the scene is played.

OPERATION

Others Menu

Lock MenuIf the rating number of the scene is higherthan the rating number set in the BD Player,the scene will not be played. In this case,there are two options for the BD Player.Some DVD movies will have alternate, less

graphic or offensive scenes, in which casethe BD Player will play the alternate scene.In some cases, only the dialog of the moviewould be graphic or offensive, in whichcase the BD Player would mute the audiotemporarily to not allow the offensiveword(s) to be heard. If there are noalternate scenes on the DVD movie, theBD Player will stop playback.

NOTE: In most cases, the beginning of a DVD movie will dictate the rating number for the entiremovie and begin restrictions placed at that point. Therefore, it is rare that the BD Playerwill stop playback during a movie because of Parental controls.

The Set Passwordoption is used to allow access to the Parental Control settings and to allow theratings to be temporarily released. Once the user has set a password (4 digit number) and confirmedthe password, the settings can only be changed once the correct password is entered. If a DVD Moviehas been loaded into the BD Player that falls within the set restrictions, the password must beentered before the movie will be played.

TIP: If the password has been forgotten by the owner, it may be cleared and reset. In order to clearthe password, remove any disc from the unit then navigate to the Password option and enter210499 into the 4-digit field normally used for the password. This longer password, as well as thespecified numbers, will cause the BD Player to erase the stored password and allow the entry of a new

password.

TheArea Code tells the BD Player what rating codes are to be used. DVD Movies created in othercountries may have been developed using a different rating code than most U.S. titles. In this case,change the Country/Area Code to match the codes used on the disc.

OTHERS MENU

The Others Menu is used for settings thatdo not fall within the previousclassifications.

Two individual, full HD resolution (1920x1080)graphic planes (layers) are available, on top of theHD video layer. One plane is assigned to video-related, frame accurate graphics (like subtitles),and the other plane is assigned to interactivegraphic elements, such as buttons or menus. Forboth planes, various wipes, fades and scroll effects may be available. These transparent graphic planesare where menu data is displayed as an overlay, instead of being part of the HD video content itself.

With DVD-Video, playback is interrupted each time a new menu screen is accessed. Due to BD-ROMdiscs ability to preload data from the disc without interrupting playback, menus can be loaded ontoone or both graphic planes and displayed without interrupting the HD video playback. In reality,there is little difference between the Disc Menu and Pop Up Menu of a BD title. The only difference isthe content playing on the HD Video layer.

The menu items available from a BD disc are similar to those from a DVD disc. The standard itemssuch as Play Movie, Language Selection, Scene Selection, and Special Features have the samefunction as they always have had. The BD format simply adds more interactivity.

The BH100 is optimized for the BD-ROM discformat, and can play back the HD contents ofHD DVD format discs. However, the BH100 isunable to support some advanced featuresprovided by HD DVD discs. These features include the interactive menus associated with the HD DVDformat. In lieu of a HD DVD titles Disc Menu, the BH100 is equipped to display an internal menu forcontrol of HD DVD discs. Much of the interactive content of a HD DVD disc will be inaccessible, butthe movie content and basic access is available via the BH100s HD DVD Menu.
