Disc Compatibility

Disc Compatibility: The Toshiba BDX3000 Blu-ray disc player is compatible with these disc types:

  • BD-ROM: pre-recorded Blu-ray Discs
  • BD-RE/BD-R: recordable Blu-ray Discs
  • DVD-Video: pre-recorded DVD
  • DVD-R: record once DVD
  • DVD-RW: rewritable DVD
  • CD: pre-recorded CD (including DTS CDs)
  • 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 BDX3000 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.

Blu-ray Disc Overview: Blu-ray Disc (BD) is a 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 54 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 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, 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.
  • 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.

Note: 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 periodically. These firmware updates will likely be available for downloading from the Internet.

Blu-ray Disc Java (BD-J): The BD-ROM format supports Java for interactive functions. BD-J offers content providers almost unlimited functionality when creating interactive BD-ROM titles.

Note: In order to enjoy these interactive features, you may need to update your player with the latest firmware.

AVCHD: AVCHD (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264) is a high definition digital video camera format used to record in high definition or standard definition on DVD, 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 video camera recorder to be recorded on DVD discs, in the same way as it would be for a standard definition signal.

JPEG Playback: This unit will play JPEG still picture files recorded on BD-RE, BD-R, DVD-RW, DVD-R, CD-R, and CD-RW discs, or an SD memory card or USB flash memory drive.

MP3/WMA Playback: The BDX3000 supports MP3 and WMA audio files recorded on BD-R/RE, DVD-R/RW, and CD-R/RW discs, or an SD memory card or USB flash memory drive.

Video Features

Video Outputs: The Blu-ray disc player features two high-definition video outputs (HDMI and component video) and one standard-definition video output (composite video).

  • HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface): The BDX3000's HDMI output simplifies A/V connections by carrying digital audio and video 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.
  • Component Video: The component video resolution can be set to 480i, 480p, 720p, or 1080i. When a DVD is played, the maximum component video output resolution is 480p.
  • Composite Video: The composite output is always live and fixed at 480i. It can output video when playing a Blu-ray Disc.

3D HD: The BDX3000 3D Blu-ray disc player supports playback of high-definition 3D Blu-ray discs when connected to a 3D-Ready HDTV via a high speed HDMI cable (supporting at least 10.2 Gbps).

Note: 3D viewing also requires active 3D glasses matched to the TV.

HDMI with DVD Scaling: The HDMI output video resolution can be set to Auto (automatically selects the best resolution the TV will accept), 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p (including 24 Hz when available from Blu-ray). When playing a DVD, the output is scaled from 480p to match the HDMI resolution setting. This scaled DVD signal is only output via HDMI; DVD output via component video remains 480p.

x.v.Color: The BDX3000 supports x.v.Color, meaning it's ready for x.v.Color discs when they become available in the future.

Deep Color: Connecting the player and a TV that supports Deep Color via HDMI allows more accurate color reproduction than when connecting it to a TV that does not support Deep Color.

Video Settings: The Toshiba BDX3000 features the following video settings:

  • TV Aspect: choose based on the connected TV
    • 16:9 Wide: stretches a 4:3 source to fill the 16:9 screen
    • 4:3 Pan & Scan: scans a 16:9 source to keep the action in the middle of the 4:3 screen
    • 4:3 Letterbox: shows the full 16:9 picture with bars at the top and bottom of the 4:3 screen
    • 16.9 Pillarbox: displays a 4:3 source in the correct aspect with bars on the sides of the 16:9 screen
  • HDMI Resolution: Auto (automatically selects the best resolution the TV will accept), 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p
  • Film Mode: on/off; HDMI outputs 1080p at 24 frames/second when available from Blu-ray
  • Deep Color: select whether to output Deep Color; on/off

Dimmer: You can set the lighting of the unit's front panel display to Bright, Dim, or off.

Audio Features

Surround Sound Decoders: The BDX3000 has built-in Dolby Digital and DTS surround processors. Multi-channel PCM, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-Master Audio are output through the HDMI jack (when encoded on the Blu-ray Disc):

  • Dolby Digital Plus: Dolby Digital Plus was developed as an extension to Dolby Digital. The audio coding technology supports 7.1 channel surround sound. Dolby Digital Plus also includes the standard Dolby Digital bit stream and is compatible with all current Dolby Digital processors using the optical or coaxial digital output.
  • Dolby TrueHD: Dolby TrueHD is a lossless coding technology that supports up to 8 channels of multi-channel surround sound for the next generation optical discs. The reproduced sound is true to the original source bit-for-bit.
  • DTS-HD Master Audio: DTS-HD Mater Audio has a maximum transmission rate of 24.5 Mbps and used lossless compression (Lossless), and DTS-HD Mater Audio corresponds to a maximum sampling frequency of 192 kHz, and maximum of 7.1ch.

7.1-Channel Audio Outputs: The BDX3000 offers built-in Dolby Digital and DTS decoders with multi-channel analog outputs (7.1ch).

2-Channel Audio Outputs: In addition to the 7.1-channel analog outputs, the unit features a stereo audio output for connecting to a stereo analog input on a TV or receiver. Even when the source audio is multi-channel (Dolby Digital, DTS, etc), these jacks output a downmixed 2-channel signal.

Digital Audio Output: There are several options for the digital audio output:

  • PCM Stereo: stereo audio from the HDMI and optical digital outputs
  • Bitstream HD: HD soundtrack (Dolby TrueHD, DTS Master Audio, etc) when connected to a compatible component via HDMI; optical digital remains Bitstream Legacy
  • Bitstream Legacy: standard Dolby Digital or DTS via HDMI and optical digital output
  • Bitstream Mixed: combined soundtrack and PIP audio via HDMI and optical digital output
  • PCM 5.1: up to 5.1 channel PCM via HDMI; optical digital remains 2 channel
  • PCM 7.1: up to 7.1 channel PCM via HDMI; optical digital remains 2 channel

Speaker Settings: The BDX3000 allows you to adjust the following audio settings when using the HDMI port for multi-channel PCM output or the analog audio outputs:

  • Speaker Size: set the front speakers to Large or Small, set the center speaker to Small or Off, set the surround speakers to Large, Small, or Off, and set the surround back speakers to Large, Small, or Off
  • Crossover Point: set the crossover point for the subwoofer; 80 Hz, 100 Hz, 120 Hz, or Off (no subwoofer)
SD-Card/USB Functions

SD Card Slot: The BDX3000 features a front panel SD memory card slot which, when combined with broadband Internet access, allows you to enjoy additional BD-Live content on certain Blue-ray Disc titles (1GB minimum SD card). MP3, WMA, and JPEG files saved on an SD card can also be played. SD cards from 8 MB to 2 GB are compatible (including miniSD and microSD when used with an adapter), as are 4 GB to 8 GB SDHC cards.

USB Port: There is a USB Type-A port on the rear panel. Like an SD card, adding USB flash memory, combined with broadband Internet access, allows you to enjoy additional BD-Live content on certain Blue-ray Disc titles (1GB minimum). MP3, WMA, and JPEG files saved on a USB flash memory device can also be played.

Internet/Network Functions

LAN (100BASE-T) Port: You can connect the player's LAN terminal to your wired router using a network cable (Ethernet cable sold separately) to access bonus features and to update the unit's software using the network.

Wi-Fi: An IEEE 802.11n wireless card is built into the BDX3000 so no Ethernet is needed if you have a wireless network set up; IEEE 802.11a, b, and g are also supported.

Internet Streaming: The BDX3000 can stream audio and video Internet content from several web channels; Netflix (subscription required), Blockbuster On Demand, Vudu, and Pandora (as of September 2010). Broadband Internet access is necessary via the rear panel Ethernet terminal or the optional wireless network adapter.

Note: As of 9/24/10 the internet streaming function is only available in the United States. Internet content may change without notice. Please check Toshiba.com for latest updates.

BD-Live: BD-Live technology allows you to download and stream bonus content such as additional scenes, shorts, trailers, movie-based games, and more from a broadband internet and home network connections (fees may apply).

Note: You must have at least 1GB of memory available, either an SD/SDHC card in the unit's front panel SD card slot or a flash memory drive in the rear panel USB port in order to download content from BD-Live.
