Blu-ray Disc: Blu-ray, also known as Blu-ray Disc (BD) is
the name of a next-generation optical disc format. The format was developed to
enable recording, rewriting and playback of high-definition video (HD), as well
as storing large amounts of data. The format offers more than five times the
storage capacity of traditional DVDs and can hold up to 25GB on a single-layer
disc and 50GB on a dual-layer disc. This extra capacity combined with the use of
advanced video and audio codecs will offer consumers an unprecedented HD
experience.
- 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 TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD Master
Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution, and uncompressed 7.1 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.
- Backward Compatible: 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.
Note: 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 BDP-105
is Blu-ray region A and DVD region 1. Blu-ray Disc uses the
Advanced Access Content System (AACS) to prevent unauthorized
recording of copyrighted material.
Blu-ray 3D: Blu-ray 3D is the Blu-ray disc video format for
3-dimensional (3D) video playback developed by the Blu-ray Disc Association
(BDA). Supporting Full HD (1080p), so you can enjoy high quality 3D video. TV
and Blu-ray titles are also required to be 3D compatible to enjoy the 3D
experience. Adding a 3D capable A/V Receiver will provide a more engaging audio
and video consumer experience.
Firmware Updates: As Blu-ray technology continues to evolve,
new disc types with enhanced functionality will become available. In order for
you to enjoy this new functionality, you will likely be required to update the
firmware in your player. These firmware updates will become available for downloading
from the Internet via the rear-panel Ethernet terminal. Occasionally, Oppo may
release new firmware for the purpose of additional features or product improvements.
Firmware updates can be downloaded from the Oppo website via the player's Ethernet
connection. This player offers automatic firmware notification.
Note: The tested Oppo BDP-105 contained firmware
version BDP10X-33-1018 (as of
12/7/2012). Visit Oppo's
Help
and Support site for the latest firmware updates.
DVD-Audio: DVD-Audio is an extension of the highly popular DVD
format, distinguished by its capability to deliver high quality multi-channel audio
capability previously unavailable in traditional packaged audio media.
SACD: The BDP-105 plays Super Audio CD (SACD) and supports both
stereo and multi-channel high resolution audio programs. Blu-ray Players that support
Super Audio CD use a technology called Direct Stream Digital (DSD) to convert music
into a digital signal that can be stored on a disc. Compared to the traditional PCM
method (the technology used for CD), DSD offers a much higher resolution by following
more closely the original waveform of music. Users can select whether to output the
DSD (Direct Stream Digital) signal in its native format over HDMI or convert it into
high resolution PCM. With a frequency response of over 100kHz and a dynamic range
over 120dB across the audible frequency range, some 64x higher resolution then CD,
Super Audio CD offers music reproduction that reveals details you just can't hear
on a normal CD.
HDCD: High Definition Compatible Digital (HDCD) discs let you
enjoy expanded dynamic range and improved audio resolution.
AVCHD: AVCHD (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264) is a digital video format
used to record high definition or standard definition video, using an efficient
data compression coding technology. The format is designed to compress video and
audio (Dolby Digital or Linear PCM) data, enabling a high definition video
signal shot on a digital camcorder and recorded on DVD disc to be played back.
The BDP-105 supports AVCHD playback from DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW discs.
DivX Plus HD: The Oppo BDP-105supports DivX Plus HD playback from
DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW discs. The unit supports DivX Plus HD video with a resolution up to
1920 x 1080 pixels.
JPEG Slideshows: The BDP-105 will playback JPEG still image
files written to DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, and CD-R/RW discs.
Music File Playback: The Oppo Blu-ray disc player supports
playback of AAC, FLAC, MP3, PCM, WAV, and WMA audio files recorded onto DVD-R/RW,
DVD+R/RW, and CD-R/RW discs.
PAL/NTSC Conversion: The BDP-105 supports NTSC and PAL systems for both
disc playback and video output. It can also convert content of one system for
output in another.
Parental Control: Parental Control allows you to set
a rating limit based on the age of the viewer, preventing your children from viewing
inappropriate material. Playback will stop if the ratings exceed the level you
set, and it will require your to enter a 4-digit password before the disc will
play back.

Rigid Chassis Construction: Built around a heavy gauge steel
chassis, sculptured aluminum faceplate, and center-mounted tray, the BDP-105 is
designed to impress as well as to provide a stable base for the highest quality
reproduction of your favorite audio/video media. The BDP-105 is also passively
cooled, allowing it to run both cool and quiet without the need for internal or
external fans.
Qdeo by Marvell: The BDP-105 incorporates Marvell's Kyoto-G2H video
processor with the second generation Qdeo technology. Qdeo video processing
delivers a truly immersive viewing experience by rendering quiet natural video
free of noise and artifacts for all types of content. For high-quality Blu-ray
content, the BDP-105 faithfully reproduces the program just as the director
intended; for DVD, the up-converted picture quality bridges the visual gap from
your current DVD library to Blu-ray discs; for network streaming and user-encoded
content at a variety of formats and quality, the BDP-105 offers enhancement
options including video noise reduction, compression artifact reduction,
intelligent color, contrast, detail and edge enhancements.
HDMI Inputs/Outputs: The Oppo BDP-105 is fitted with dual HDMI outputs
and dual HDMI inputs.
- Dual HDMI v1.4a Outputs: The BDP-105 is equipped with two HDMI
v.1.4a output
ports and offers the most versatile installation options. You do not have to
upgrade your A/V receiver to a 3D model in order to enjoy 3D. One HDMI output of
the BDP-105 can be connected to a 3D TV and the other can be connected to a pre-3D
HDMI (v1.1-v1.3) A/V receiver. For projector users, you can connect one output to
a projector for home theater use and the other to a TV for casual viewing. For a
multi-room installation the BDP-105 can output audio and video to two 3D or 2D TVs
simultaneously. Both HDMI outputs support 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, and 4K
video signals. Only HDMI 1 output features the superior Marvel QDEO video
processor.
- Dual HDMI Inputs: The BDP-105 provides two HDMI inputs (one on the
front-panel and one on the rear-panel) to connect external devices* to take
further advantage of its excellent audio and video processing functions.
Both HDMI input ports are HDMI v1.4 compatible and can accept up to 1080p
high-definition video signal, however, due to internal bandwidth limits, the
audio signal is up to 6ch/192kHz or 8ch/96kHz PCM, Dolby Digital, Dolby
Digital Plus, DTS, and AAC. The front-panel HDMI input is MHL (Mobile
High-definition Link) compatible, which means if it is connected to another
MHL-enabled device (like your smartphone) through a MHL cable or adaptor
(not included), then this HDMI port is not only capable of accepting
high-resolution digital signal, but can also simultaneously charge the
connected device.
*
Due to some reported and tested HDMI syncing issues, Oppo does not currently (as
of 2/12/13) recommend connecting a cable box to the HDMI input. They are
working on a solution.
Note: The Blu-ray player does not feature any
analog video inputs or outputs; such as composite, component, or S-video.
4K Up-Scaling: The Oppo BDP-105 further enhances your home theater experience with four
times the resolution of Full HD 1080p, by up-scaling all video sources to 4K
(3840 x 2160) output resolution.
True 24p Video + DVD 24P Conversion: Many Blu-ray Discs are recorded at 24
frames-per-second (fps), the same frame rate as the original movie's theatrical
release. The BDP-105 can faithfully redeliver the original frames using 1080p
24Hz output (compatible display required) for smoother motion and a flicker-free,
film-like home theater experience. DVD 24P Conversion allows you to enable
24Hz frame rate conversion for DVD for smoother motion picture experience.
Source Direct Mode: For users who wish to use an external video
processor, high-end audio/video receiver or display, the BDP-105 offers a "Source
Direct" mode. The original audio/video content on the discs is sent out with no
additional processing or alteration. The actual output resolution varies by
content:
| Content |
Source Direct
Output Resolution |
| NTSC DVD |
480i |
| PAL DVD |
576i |
| Most Blu-ray
Movies (film source) |
1080p or 1080p/24Hz |
| Most Blu-ray TV
shows or Concerts (video-source) |
1080i |
| SACD and DVD-Audio |
1080p |
3D-Ready: The Oppo BDP-105 lets you enjoy 3D Blu-ray disc movies
in full HD 1080p. There are three 3D output settings.
- Auto: Automatically outputs 3D if supported both by the disc
content and the display. The player automatically checks for the existence of
3D content on the disc and the 3D compatibility of the TV or projector.
If both are qualified, the player sends 3D video from its HDMI output
terminals, otherwise only 2D video is sent out.
- Forced: Always outputs 3D video format for 3D Blu-ray discs. You
might experience a black screen (no video output) if your TV is not 3D
compatible.
- Off: Always outputs 2D video format, even when 3D video exists on
the disc. This guarantees the video quality if your TV is not 3D compatible,
or some necessary part (such as the 3D glasses) is missing.
Note: 3D viewing requires compatible 3D content,
3D-ready HDTV, 3D emitter and glasses, and a high-speed HDMI cable (supporting
at least 10.2 Gbps) connection.
2D-to-3D Conversion: Take your standard DVD, Blu-ray, and
other video content to the next dimension by converting them into 3D with the
simple press of a button. The BDP-105 can also adjust the depth and eye
convergence levels to suit your personal preference
3D TV Size: This option applies to 3D mode, to help the player adjust
the 3D image to the screen size of your HDTV for better visual quality.
x.v.Color: x.v.Color reproduces a wider range of color than
the HDTV standard, showing almost all of the colors that the human eye can detect.
Currently there is no x.v.Color software available on Blu-ray, but the BDP-105 is
ready to take advantage of x.v.Color discs when they become available.
Deep Color: The HDMI output supports Deep Color, increasing
the number of bits available for transmission, meaning more colors are displayed.
The BDP-105 can provide 4,096 shades of each of the three primary colors, for a
total of 68.7 billion possible colors. This results in greater color fidelity,
smooth tonal transitions, and ultra-fine gradations between colors. It also
enables more shades of gray, for higher contrast ratio.
Aspect Ratio and Zoom Modes: The BDP-105 supports multiple levels of aspect
ratio control and image zooming. Users can watch a movie in its original aspect
ratio, fit to the full screen, or zoom in to remove the black bars on some
titles. For users with a 2.35:1 CIH (Constant Image Height) display system, the
player's zoom modes include a vertical stretch mode to work nicely with an
anamorphic lens. You can choose from the following Aspect Ratio and Zoom
Modes:
- Aspect Ratio Modes: 16:9 Wide,
and 16:9 Wide/Auto
- Zoom Modes: 1:1 (no zooming), Stretch/Compress, Full Screen, or
Under Scan.
Subtitle Shift: For customers using a 2.35:1 "Constant Image Height"
video projection system, subtitles may get cut off because they are positioned
outside of the active video area. The Subtitle Shift feature can be useful to
these customers. The player can shift subtitles up or down so they are displayed
within the active video area.
Advanced Picture Control: Users can have fine control of brightness,
contrast, saturation, hue, sharpness, noise reduction, color, and contrast
enhancements. The player can remember and apply three custom picture control modes
to suit a variety of viewing conditions and content types.
Bonus View: The Bonus View feature provides
picture-in-picture capability with select Blu-ray Disc titles. You can view
addition content (such as director/actor commentary) in a small display window
while the movie is playing.
Audio Section
High-Quality Sound: Thanks to the high performance DAC chips, the
toroidal power supply, high quality parts, and engineering, the Oppo BDP-105 offers
a very detailed sound with an extremely low noise floor and distortion. You will
hear details from your music that you have missed before.
Sabre³² Reference Audio DAC: The DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter)
is one of the most important components for digital audio playback. The Sabre³²
Reference ES9018 from ESS Technology is the world's best performing 32-bit audio
DAC solution targeted for high-end consumer applications and professional studio
equipment. With the ESS patented 32-bit Hyperstream DAC architecture and Time
Domain Jitter Eliminator, the Sabre³² Reference DAC delivers an unprecedented DNR
(Dynamic Range) of up to 135dB and THD+N (Total Harmonic Distortion plus Noise) of
120dB; the industry's highest performance level that will satisfy even the most
demanding audio enthusiast. The BDP-105 uses two ES9018 DAC chips; one for the
7.1-channel output, and another for the dedicated stereo output.
Toroidal Power Supply: A toroidal power transformer offers
superior power efficiency and much lower exterior magnetic fields over
traditional laminated steel core transformers. The BDP-105's toroidal linear
power supply provides a very clean and robust power source to the critical audio
components.
Analog Outputs: The Oppo BDP-105 is fitted with unbalanced stereo RCA
outputs, XLR balanced stereo outputs, and 7.1ch RCA analog outputs.
- Unbalanced Stereo RCA Output: The BDP-105 features a dedicated
2-channel analog RCA output with specially optimized ES9018 DAC and output
driving stages.
- XLR Balanced Stereo Output: The balanced output features a true
differential signal path all the way from the DAC to the 3-pin XLR
connector. By transmitting a pair of differential signals, the balanced
output provides better common-mode noise rejection and improves signal
quality.
- 7.1Ch Analog Output: Individual analog 7.1ch surround RCA outputs
are ideal to connect to a 7.1ch or 5.1ch surround sound system. Powered by
the ES9018 Sabre³² Reference DAC, the
BDP-105 delivers an incredible and immersive multi-channel sound stage.
Digital Outputs: For simple and easy connection to more traditional
A/V receivers, the BDP-105 features both optical and coaxial outputs for digital audio.
The optical and coaxial digital inputs support 48k LPCM, 96k LPCM, 192k PCM, and
Bitstream (Dolby Digital/DTS). Due to bandwidth limitations, high resolution audio formats such as Dolby
Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD High Resolution, and DTS-HD Master Audio
cannot be sent through the coaxial or optical digital audio output. A reduced
resolution version of the same audio track will be output instead.
Digital Inputs: The Oppo BDP-105 can function as a dedicated DAC
(digital-to-analog converter) and process external digital audio signals with
its internal Sabre³² Reference DAC. Three digital audio inputs
(Optical/Coaxial/USB) allow you to connect external audio devices. The processed
analog audio is output through the player's stereo RCA, XLR and analog
multichannel output terminals.
- Optical/Coaxial: The BDP-105 supports up to 2ch/96kHz PCM, Dolby
Digital, DTS, and AAC audio signals through its optical and coaxial digital
audio inputs.
- USB (type-B): The BDP-105 supports up to 2ch/192kHz PCM audio
signals through it USB (type-B) port. To utilize the USB (type-A) port with
your Windows computer (XP/Vista/7), a software driver will need to be
installed on your computer. The driver is available online at
Oppo's BDP-105 Support Page. No software driver is required for Mac
computers.
Digital Audio Formats: The Blu-ray player's HDMI output is
capable of multi-channel bitstream (Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD High
Resolution, DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby Digital, and DTS) and multi-channel PCM
output. The optical and coaxial digital outputs pass either Dolby Digital or DTS
bitstream, or 2-channel PCM.
- Dolby TrueHD: Dolby TrueHD delivers lossless
studio master quality audio designed specifically for high definition
entertainment. The BDP-105 supports bit-stream output of Dolby TrueHD
via its HDMI 1.4a output. It can also internally decode Dolby TrueHD
into LPCM and output via HDMI or the 7.1ch analog audio output terminals.
Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus audio formats are also supported.
- DTS-HD Master Audio: DTS-HD Master Audio delivers
an auditory experience that matches the lifelike images of high-definition
video with up to 7.1ch that are bit-for-bit identical to the studio master.
The BDP-105 supports bit-stream output of DTS-HD Master Audio. It can also
internally decode DTS-HD Master Audio and output via HDMI or the 7.1ch
analog audio output terminals. DTS-HD High Resolution Audio and DTS Digital
Surround are also supported.
Pure Audio Mode: You can enjoy higher quality music audio by turning
off the video processing and output. The Pure Audio mode reduces any potential
interference between the video and audio signals.
Note: Because HDMI carries audio together with video,
the HDMI video signal cannot be completely turned off. A black screen is
transmitted instead to minimize any potential interference.

ARC (Audio Return Channel):
Audio Return Channel (ARC) is a feature
introduced in HDMI v1.4 which allows you to send digital audio signals from the
television back to the player or your receiver. Instead of listening through the
TV speakers, ARC allows the sound to be processed and produced by your home
theater audio system.
Direct Stream Digital (DSD) Encoding: The Super Audio CD
standard is based on Direct Stream Digital (DSD) technology, a 1-bit system with
a digital sampling frequency 64x that of conventional audio CD's 2,822,400
samples per second. Mixed with as many of the original frequencies as possible,
the audio information audible for human ears sounds much more natural than CD.
The DSD bitstream can be output via HDMI or the multi-channel output.
Down Mix Mode: Down mix is the process of converting multi-channel
audio to less number of channels. For example, converting a 5.1ch source to
stereo, or converting a 7.1ch source to 5.1ch. Down mixing allows the audio
output from the player to match the exact number of speakers available in your
home theater. The following down mix modes are available.
- LT/RT: Left Total/Right Total. The center and surround channels are
mixed into the two front channels according to the LT/RT matrix. A Dolby Pro
Logic receiver will decode the two-channel audio into surround audio.
- Stereo: This mode down-mixes multi-channel audio to 2-channel
stereo output. For original stereo content the output will not change. For
original multi-channel content the surround and center channels will be
mixed with the left and right front channels. Recommended for use with TV sets
or stereo receiver/amplifiers.
- 5.1Ch: This mode enables 5.1ch decoded audio output. The number
of actual output channels depends on the disc. If the source content has
more channels, the surround back channels will be mixed into the surround
channels.
- 7.1Ch: This mode enables 7.1ch decoded audio output. The number
of actual output channels depends on the disc. For 6.1ch contents, the left
and right surround back speakers will both output the same surround back audio
channel.
Speaker Configuration: In the Speaker Configuration menu you can
configure speaker settings such as speaker distance, speaker size, crossover
frequency, and trim level.
- Test Tone: Test tone is a special group of artificially-created
sounds that are used to test your audio speaker system and help to identify
any wiring faults.
- Speaker Size: The speaker size parameter sets bass filtering
control for the speakers. The options are:
- Large: Bass frequencies are passed to the speakers.
- Small: Bass frequencies are not passed to the speakers
to reduce possible distortion. If the subwoofer is available, bass
frequencies are redirected to the subwoofer.
- On (for subwoofer only): Specifies that a subwoofer is
available
- Off: Speaker for the corresponding position does not exist.
Audio for the missing speaker is redirected to other speakers or
discarded if redirection is not possible.
- Crossover: When a speaker size is set to "Small", bass
information below the selected crossover frequency
(40/60/80/90/100/110/120/150/200/250Hz) is not passed to the speaker to
reduce possible distortion; and if a subwoofer is available, the bass
information will be redirected to the subwoofer.
- Speaker Distance: The speaker distance parameters set delay
control for the corresponding audio channel. The delay is used to compensate for
the audio time difference caused by the placement of speakers. The speaker
distance can be set from 0 to 60'.
- Trim Level: The speaker trim level parameters sets the volume of
each individual channel. The trim level can be set to +/- 10dB in 0.5dB
increments. Channel trim is generally not required since most A/V
receivers have the capability to adjust.
Note: Speaker Configuration applies to the
multi-channel analog audio outputs only. All digital bitstream and LPCM
outputs are unaffected by these settings.
Dynamic Range Control (DRC): DRC can smooth out the sonic
peaks and valleys common with wide-range digital audio. Enabling DRC may make low
level audio more audible during low-level listening. The Dynamic Range
Compression is applied on the analog audio output; it also works on the digital
audio output (HDMI, Coaxial and Optical) when the audio format is set to PCM.
Headphone Output: The Oppo BDP-105 features a front-panel 1/4"
headphone jack for connecting a set of headphones, so you can listen to your
music privately. The headphone output's volume can be adjusted within the unit's
on-screen menu.

Convenience Features
Start Up/Play Back Time: The Oppo BDP-105 Blu-ray player has
a start-up time of approximately 16.1 seconds. It takes approximately 25.7 seconds
for a Blu-ray disc to begin playback.
Note: The Start Up/Play Back Time tests were started
with the Blu-ray player initially turned off and in standby mode. The Start Up
Time test was stopped when the player's Home Menu screen appeared. The Play
Back Time test was stopped when the Blu-ray disc began playback.
Gracenote MusicID and VideoID: Music and Video recognition technology and related data are provided by
Gracenote. Gracenote is the industry standard in music and video recognition
technology and related content delivery. By connecting to Gracenote's
global media database over the Internet, the BDP-105 can offer an enriched
playback experience by displaying Cover Art, Title, Artist, Genre and other
media information for CD, DVD, Blu-ray and a wide range of digital media files.

Memory and Automatic Resume: The player automatically remembers the
current position when playback is interrupted. Operations such as Stop,
Open/Eject, or turning Power off will cause the player to save the current
playing position. The position is memorized even after turning off the unit or
changing the disc. When the next time the disc with a memorized playing position
is played back, the player will recognize the saved playing position. Playback
will automatically resume from this saved position. The player can remember
playback position for up to 5 discs. When the sixth disc is memorized, the
oldest one is replaced.
Note: Some Blu-ray Discs do not support resuming and will always
play from the beginning.
Display Dimmer: The Blu-ray
player lets you control the display intensity of the front-panel Vacuum
Fluorescent Display. You can choose Standard, Dim, or Off.
Screen Saver: The screen saver is designed to minimize burn-in
concerns for plasma and CRT display devices. Video output will be turned off after
3 minutes of inactivity.
Remote Control
Wireless Remote Control: The BDP-105
comes with a fully back-lit remote control for ease of use in dark home
theaters. With its ergonomic button layout and clear labeling, operating the Blu-ray
Disc player is easy. It even offers dedicated buttons to access Netflix and Vudu
on-line movie services.
HDMI CEC: HDMI Consumer Electronics Control (HDMI
CEC) simplifies your home theater by allowing a single remote control to operate
multiple devices through HDMI connection.
External IR: The BDP-105 features a 3.5mm IR input. If the
player is to be installed in an equipment cabinet where direct line-of-sight is
not available for the remote control you can purchase an external IR Remote
Sensor (sold separately) and plug it into the IR input. Then place the sensor
head at a location where there is direct line-of-sight to ensure reliable
operation.
RS-232C Port: The BDP-105 has an RS-232C control port and
can be integrated into most custom home theater control systems.
