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 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, 1080p, or 1080/24p 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, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, and uncompressed 7.1 channel PCM.
-
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 BD-E5300 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.
Firmware/Software Upgrade: 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. The player's Software Upgrade menu allows you
to upgrade the player's software & firmware for these performance improvements &
additional services. You can upgrade in four ways - Internet, USB, Disc, or
Downloaded file.
Note: The tested Samsung Blu-ray player contained
firmware version BSP-E5300WWB-1005.1 (as of 5/23/2012). There was an immediate firmware version update available
(BSP-E5300WWB-1008.2). Visit the
Samsung Download Center for the latest Firmware/Software updates.

Video Features
HDMI ver.1.3: The Samsung Blu-ray player is equipped with an HDMI (v.1.3) output. HDMI simplifies A/V connections by carrying
video and digital audio all in one cable. The HDMI output resolution can be set to 480i,
480p, 720p, 1080i or 1080p when playing a DVD or Blu-ray Disc; also 1080/24p
when playing a compatible BD.
Note: The Blu-ray player provides no analog video outputs.
1080/24p: Movies are
typically filmed at 24 frames per second and some Blu-ray Discs use the same
frame rate. If your TV will accept a 1080/24p signal, the BD-E5300 can pass the
signal in its native form, without converting the video.
Video Up-conversion: When connected to your TV using the HDMI output, the BD-E5300
scales the output of a standard DVD signal to HD-compatible 720p, 1080i, or
1080p. The unit also supports 480p and 480i output if your television is not
HD-compatible.
Progressive Mode: The Samsung Blu-ray disc player provides a
Progressive mode to improve picture quality when viewing a DVD movie.
Deep Color: Deep Color allows more accurate color reproduction with
deep color depth. The BD-E5300 must be connected to a Deep Color compatible TV
via HDMI for this feature to function.
x.v.Color: The BD-E5300 supports x.v.Color; meaning it's
ready for x.v.Color discs, such as AVCHD discs (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format).
TV Aspect: You can adjust
the video output of the BD-E5300 to match the screen-type of your television.
You can choose from 4:3 Letter-Box, 4:3 Pan-Scan, 16:9 Wide, and 16:9 Normal.
BD Wise: BD Wise is Samsung's latest inter-connectivity feature. When
you connect Samsung products with BD-Wise to each other via HDMI, the optimum
resolution will be set automatically.
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 Features
Dolby Digital/DTS Surround Decoding: The BD-E5300 can decode the following Dolby Digital/DTS surround formats; Dolby
Digital, DTS, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby True HD, DTS HD High Resolution, and
DTS-HD Master Audio. The player must be
connected to a Dolby Digital/DTS surround AV receiver which also supports these
same formats via coaxial or HDMI input.
Digital Output/Surround Mode Chart: You can set the unit's Digital
Output (HDMI or Coaxial) to match the capabilities of your connected AV
receiver.

your stereo receiver. You can choose to have the player downmix to normal stereo
or to surround compatible stereo.
Dynamic Range Control: When

can apply appropriate compression to make low-level content more intelligible
and prevent dramatic passages from getting too loud. This is only active when a
Dolby Digital signal is detected.
Digital Audio Output: The Blu-ray disc player features
a digital coaxial (RCA) output. The player's audio menu allows you to select

Note: The Blu-ray player provides no analog audio outputs.

software upgrades using a USB flash drive. In addition, it can be used to add
more local storage for BD-Live content.
Note: A USB device consuming more than 500mA requires a separate
power supply device for normal operation.
Wired Network Connection: You can set up the
Samsung Blu-ray player so that it can access your home network and online
Samsung Apps through your local area network (LAN) using a wired (RJ-45
Ethernet) connection. You can setup a wired network
