About the Samsung BD-P1000
Experience all of the beautiful high-resolution detail that your HDTV can provide. Samsung's BD-P1000 uses the latest technology to deliver exceptionally vivid, lifelike video from high-definition Blu-ray Discs. It's the start of a new era in home theater — movies come alive with startling clarity and vibrant color.
The BD-P1000 is one of the first video players of any type to provide true 1080p output — 1920 x 1080 pixels progressive scan, the highest HD signal output currently available. TV makers are shifting to 1080p resolution for their top-performing flat-panel and projection TVs, and this Blu-ray player is a pixel-perfect match. Even if your HD-capable TV is a few years old and lacks an HDMI connection, don't worry, you can still experience Blu-ray. High-definition signals up to 1080i are available through the component video output.
The BD-P1000 owes its high-def capabilities to Blu-ray's high storage capacity. Blu-ray Discs can hold a lot more picture information than regular DVDs can, and a Blu-ray player feeds that information to your TV at a much faster rate than a DVD player. The result is picture quality that's consistently sharper and cleaner than standard DVD — images simply look more real. The larger your screen, the more apparent the improvement becomes.
The BD-P1000 also plays standard DVDs, and will make your entire DVD library look better than ever by upconverting the video to 1080p (or 720p or 1080i — you can choose the resolution that most closely matches the display capabilities of your HDTV). This versatile player can also play audio CDs, including home-burned CD-Rs and CD-RWs.

Inputs and Outputs Notes
Blu-ray Disc Overview: Blu-ray Disc (BD) is a new high-definition disc format designed to take advantage of today's high quality HDTVs. The resolution is up to 1920 x 1080 (1080p) and the data transfer rate is up to 40 mbps. Blu-ray Disc discs and players offer several advantages over the standard DVD format:
- Better picture quality: Blu-ray Disc is a true high-definition format offering video at 720p, 1080i, or 1080p resolution. While standard DVDs look very good on an HDTV, they don't provide a high-definition signal (not even when you use an "up-converting" DVD player). Blu-ray Disc delivers an extraordinarily sharp, clean, detailed picture, with deeper, richer colors.
- Better sound quality: In addition to the same multi-channel sound formats you're accustomed to with DVD (Dolby Digital and DTS), Blu-ray Disc offers Dolby Digital Plus and uncompressed 5.1 channel PCM
- Much greater storage capacity: What makes Blu-ray Disc's superior picture and sound possible is the much higher storage capacity of Blu-ray Disc discs. A single-layer Blu-ray Disc can hold 25 gigabytes of data, over five times the amount a standard DVD can hold. Dual-layer Blu-ray Discs hold 50 gigabytes, which equates to nine hours of High Definition or 23 hours of Standard Definition video, plus high-resolution multi-channel audio and the added features and material that require multiple discs with standard DVD.
- Compatibility with your current disc collections: To ensure backward-compatibility with your existing library of discs, Blu-ray Disc players use a dual-laser mechanism: a blue laser for playing high-definition Blu-ray Discs, and a conventional red laser for playing DVDs and audio CDs.
Dolby Digital Plus: Dolby Digital Plus is the next-generation audio technology for high-definition programming, it provides up to 8 channels (7.1) of audio with no loss of quality in the conversion process. Dolby Digital Plus also includes the standard Dolby Digital bit stream and is compatible with all current Dolby Digital processors.
Disc Compatibility: The BD-P1000 is compatible with many disc types:
- BD-ROM: typically used for pre-recorded movies
- BD-R: record once Blu-ray
- BD-RE: rewritable Blu-ray
- DVD-Video: pre-recorded DVD
- DVD-R: record once DVD
- DVD-RW: rewritable DVD
- DVD-RAM: rewritable DVD
- CD: pre-recorded CD
- CD-R: record once CD
- CD-RW: rewritable CD
Region Code: Like DVD, BD uses region codes. The region code on your disc must match the region code on your player, otherwise the disc will not play. The BD-P1000 is Blu-ray region A and DVD region 1.
Copy Protection: Blu-ray Disc uses the Advanced Access Content System (AACS) to prevent unauthorized recording of copyrighted material.
Video Up-conversion: When connected to your TV using the HDMI output the BD-P1000 uses Faroudja DCDi technology to up-convert a standard DVD signal to HD-compatible 720p, 1080i, or 1080p.
Video Output: There are four types of video output on the rear panel; composite video, S-video, component video, and HDMI. Which output is active is set using TV Out Select button on the front panel:
- Video: the composite and S-video outputs are active, output resolution is 480i, Blu-ray Disc playback is not possible through these outputs
- Component: only the component video output is active, resolution can be set to 720p or 1080i, Blu-ray Disc playback is possible through this output
- HDMI: only the HDMI output is active, resolution can be set to 720p, 1080i, or 1080p, Blu-ray Disc playback is possible through this output
HDMI Auto Detection: Connecting the HDMI cable while the power is on will automatically change the video output mode to HDMI after approximately 10 seconds.
MP3 Playback: This unit will play MP3 audio files recorded onto CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, and DVD-RAM discs using UDF, ISO 9660, or JOLIET formats. Compatible bit rates include 56-320 kbps with sampling frequencies of 32 kHz, 44.4 kHz, or 48 kHz. Up to 1500 files and folders can be used.
JPEG Playback: This unit will play JPEG still picture files recorded onto CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, and DVD-RAM discs using UDF, ISO 9660, or JOLIET formats. Progressive JPEG is also supported.
Graphic Interface: The BD-P1000 includes two individual HD resolution graphic planes (layers), one for graphics within the frame, such as subtitles, and one for interactive buttons; play movie, scene selection, etc. Because of Blu-ray's extremely high transfer rate and ability to preload data from the disc, the menu system can consist of several pages and can be accessed while the movie plays in the background. Some BD discs allow adjustable fonts, sizes, and colors for subtitles.
Resume Play: Resume play allows you to resume playback of a disc from the point where you last stopped. The stopping point is cleared when the Stop button is pressed more than once or the disc tray is opened.
Bass Management: To tailor the output of the 5.1-channel jacks, this unit has built-in bass management that allows you to adjust the crossover by setting the speaker size for the front, center, and rear speakers.
Digital Audio Output: The Audio menu allows you to select the digital audio format that is passed through the optical, coaxial, and HDMI outputs.
- Bitstream: Select this when an amplifier equipped with a built-in Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG-2 decoder is connected to this player.
- PCM: Select this when an amplifier without a Dolby Digital, MPEG-2, or DTS processor is connected to this player. Multi-channel audio recordings are down mixed to 2-channel stereo.
- Down Sampling: Select this when the connected amplifier or pre-amp will not accept signals with a sampling rate of 96 kHz. 96 kHz signals are then down sampled to 48 kHz.
10-in-2 Memory Card Reader: Behind a flip down door on the front panel are two memory card slots, compatible with ten different types of memory cards. You can play movie clips, view digital photos or listen to MP3 music files stored on various types of memory cards. Multi Media cards (MMC), Secure Digital cards, Compact Flash cards, and Micro Drives fit directly without an adapter. With the appropriate adapter you can also use a Memory Stick, Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick Pro, Memory Stick Pro Duo, RS MMC and Mini SD.
Screen Saver: The screen saver automatically starts if the player is left in stop mode more than 10 minutes with no user interface. After 20 minutes in screen saver mode, the power turns off.
Fan Cooled: A fan on the back of the BD-P1000 is on whenever the player is on, helping keep the unit cool.
Bookmarks: You can bookmark up to 10 scenes you want to see again so you can start playback from the marked position whenever you want. The marks are cleared when the disc is ejected.
Multi-brand Remote: The supplied remote is pre-programmed to operate this unit and a number of functions on multiple brand TVs. Once programmed, the remote controls the TV's power on/off, input select, volume up/down, channel up/down, and mute.
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface): The unit's HDMI simplifies A/V connections by carrying video and digital audio all in one cable. This unit features HDCP copyright protection technology, and must be connected to an HDCP-compliant device. If your TV has a DVI input instead of an HDMI input, you can connect this unit to your TV using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter. You will also need to connect audio cables to the player because DVI is a video only cable. If your TV provides EDID display information the HDMI output is automatically set to the best resolution supported by the TV.
