Cautions  
Ensure that all audio/video cables are properly connected before plugging in the power plug.  
The player is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall  
outlet, even if the player itself has been turned off.  
The acceptable power input range is AC ~ 100V-240V, 50/60Hz  
Before turning on the power of the player, please adjust the volume level of TVs, audio system  
speakers and amplifiers to the minimum. Adjust the volume as necessary only after normal  
playback has started to avoid damage to your hearing and equipments.  
Do not put the player near any high power loudspeakers so as to avoid any interference due to  
vibration or magnetic fields.  
Before moving the player, take out any discs. Otherwise the disc may be damaged.  
When moving the player from a cold place to a warm one, or vice versa, moisture may  
condense on the laser pickup unit inside the player. Should this occur, the player may not  
operate properly. In such a case please turn the power on for 1-2 hours (without disc) until the  
moisture evaporates.  
Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls only with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water or a  
mild detergent solution. Never use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such  
as alcohol or benzene for cleaning.

S-Video Cable (Optional)  
Method 1 – HDMI Connection Directly to TV  
If your TV has an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) input, you can use the included  
HDMI cable to connect the DVD player to the TV. This connection method delivers both video  
and audio in pure digital format via a single cable. The HDMI video output of the DVD player  
presents the highest possible resolutions and video quality.  
You may connect the composite video or S-Video cable to the TV for trouble-shooting purpose,  
just in case there is a problem with HDMI. However it is not recommended to use the  
composite video or S-Video as the primary method of video delivery to the TV, because using it  
will lose the advantage of video up-conversion and you will only get standard definition video.

Method 2 – DVI Connection to TV  
If your TV has a DVI input that supports HDCP, you can purchase an HDMI-DVI adapter cable  
to connect the DVD player to the TV. This connection method delivers digital video to the TV  
without any signal degradation. The HDMI video output of the OPPO DVD player presents the  
highest possible resolutions and video quality.  
Please use the Red/White audio cables to connect the FRONT/MIXED audio output of the DVD  
player to the TV. Make sure the audio cables are connected to the same input terminal group  
on the TV as the DVI input. Usually the input terminals are marked as “DVI Audio” or “PC  
Audio”. On some TVs you may need to use an RCA-3.5mm Mini-Jack adapter cable to connect  
the audio.  
You may connect the composite video or S-Video cable to the TV for trouble-shooting purpose,  
just in case there is a problem with DVI. However it is not recommended to use the composite  
video or S-Video as the primary method of video delivery to the TV, because using it will lose  
the advantage of video up-conversion and you will only get standard definition video.  
NOTE  
HDCP stands for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection system. The HDMI output of the  
DVD player follows HDCP to encrypt the digital audio and video content. The TV needs to  
support HDCP so it can decrypt the content and properly display it.

Method 3 – Component Video Connection to TV  
If your TV has no digital video input but has component video inputs, please use a set of  
component video cable to connect the component video output of the DVD player to the TV.  
The connectors are color coded, so please make sure the cable connections match on both  
ends. The component video connection will produce a very clear picture with high color  
accuracy.  
Please use the Red/White audio cables to connect the FRONT/MIXED audio output of the DVD  
player to the TV. Make sure the audio cables are connected to the same input terminal group  
on the TV as the component video input.  
You may connect the composite video or S-Video cable to the TV for trouble-shooting purpose,  
just in case there is a problem with component video. However it is not recommended to use  
the composite video or S-Video as the primary method of video delivery to the TV, because  
using it will lose the advantage of video up-conversion and you will only get standard definition  
video.  
Video up-conversion over the component output is only available for unencrypted discs such as  
home video and consumer-created contents. Most commercially pressed DVD discs are CSS-  
encrypted and will be limited to 480i/480p resolution. This restriction applies to the component  
output only. The HDMI output is protected with HDCP and has no such restriction.  
The component output will only output progressive-scan (480p/576p) and up-converted  
resolutions (720p/1080i/1080p) when the HDMI output is not in use (The HDMI cable is  
unplugged and the “Primary Output” setup menu item in the “Video Setup Page” is set to  
Component” – see page 55 for details). When the HDMI output is in use, or when “Primary  
Output” is set to “HDMI”, the player will output interlaced video (480i/576i) through its  
component output.

Custom Installation Options  
Infrared Remote (IR) Installation  
The DV-983H features an IR IN and IR OUT ports on its back panel. If the DVD player is to be installed in an  
equipment cabinet where direct line-of-sight is not available for remote control, your custom home theater  
installer can purchase an External IR Remote Sensor (OPPO part number IR-ES1) and plug it into the IR IN  
port. Place the sensor head at a location where there is direct line-of-sight to ensure reliable operation. The  
External IR Remote Sensor is available from your dealer or directly from OPPO Digital, Inc.  
If you have another OPPO device that features an IR IN port, the IR OUT port on the DV-983H can pass  
through remote control signal to the next OPPO device. For example, if you use an OPPO HM-31 Advanced  
3x1 HDMI Switch to expand the HDMI inputs on your TV, the IR IN port of the HM-31 can be connected to the  
IR OUT port of the DV-983H using a 3.5mm stereo cable.

Setting Up the Player - Initial Setup  
Use the Setup Menu System  
In many places of this guide, the DVD player’s Setup Menu needs to be adjusted to match your specific  
audio/video configuration. When asking you to make menu adjustments, we will use the following terminology  
to indicate the location of the desired function:  
Setup Menu Name > Menu Item > Submenu Item (or Selection)  
Setup Menu Name is the actual name of the uppermost setup menu level. With the OPPO DV-983H there  
are exactly five (5) Setup Menu pages or sections, each represented by an icon on the top of the Setup Menu  
screen. They are: General Setup Page, Speaker Setup Page, Audio Setup Page, Video Setup Page, and  
Preference Page.  
Menu Item is the parameter to be adjusted which appears below the Setup Menu Name. It is the list of items  
on the left of the current Setup screen.  
Submenu Item (or the selection) is the actual numeric or descriptive element that represents the change  
being made to the selected parameter. It is the item located to the immediate right of its corresponding Menu  
Item.  
A Scroll Icon appears on the right side of the setup menu when there are more Menu Items than what can fit  
in a screen. You may use the up and down arrow buttons to scroll the display in order to access additional  
Menu Items.  
This diagram should give a good description of the various elements and their context. In this screen we  
could, for example, instruct you to set the Subwoofer parameter to Off in the Speaker Setup Page. To  
indicate where we were, you would see the following: Speaker Setup Page > Subwoofer > Off.

NOTE  
It is possible that some setup items are grayed-out and inaccessible. This can be caused by  
disc still being played back or interlocking with mutually exclusive setup items. Please stop  
playback or eject the disc before trying to change these setup items. If you still cannot  
access the setup item, please check for configuration conflicts and consistency. For  
example, if the audio “Down-mix” mode is set to “Stereo”, the center and surround speaker  
size settings will be grayed-out. Setting the “Down-mix” mode to “5.1CH” will enable the  
center and surround speaker size settings.

If you have a widescreen (16:9) display as pictured on the left, select one of these options:  
16:9 Wide – 16:9 (widescreen) sources will be displayed in their native aspect ratio, and 4:3  
sources will be stretched.  
16:9 Wide/Auto – 16:9 (widescreen) as well as 4:3 sources will be displayed in their native  
aspect ratio. Please note that in this mode 4:3 sources will be displayed with black borders on  
both sides to maintain the correct 4:3 aspect ratio.  
NOTE  
If you are using a plasma or widescreen CRT display you will want to avoid leaving black  
bars on the screen for any length of time as you may encounter temporary burn-in where the  
display retains memory of the “used” part of screen and the unused (black bar) portions are  
clearly defined on the screen during subsequent viewing sessions. The “16:9 Wide” mode is  
the best choice for these types of displays. On the other hand, if a mode other than “16:9  
Wide” is used or if you use zoom modes to adjust aspect ratio, bars may appear at the  
borders of the active video. The “Border Level” setting in the “Video Setup Page” can

change the brightness level of the bars. If you set it to 3 or 4, the bars become grey instead  
of black. This setting allows the phosphor in the bar area to be moderately used, and can  
alleviate the burn-in problem.  
If you have a 4:3 or standard definition screen as pictured on the right, select one of these options:  
4:3 Pan/Scan – 4:3 TV Pan and Scan. Choose when the display is 4:3. Both sides of a  
widescreen image are clipped (you lose about 30% of the picture).  
4:3 Letterbox – 4:3 TV Letterbox. Choose when the display is 4:3. Widescreen image is  
displayed in “letterbox” format with black borders on top and bottom (preferred).

Select the Best Output Resolution  
One of the major advantages of the OPPO DVD player is its ability to up-convert standard definition video  
stored on the DVD discs to high definition video signal and output it to the TV through HDMI or component  
output (Restrictions apply to up-conversion over component output – see notes below for details). The  
sophisticated video processor inside the player ensures that the resulted video will have the best possible  
color, detail and motion. The DVD player offers several standard and high definition video output resolutions.  
To get the best visual result, it is important to select an output resolution that matches your TV or display  
device.  
The rule of thumb when selecting an output resolution is to match the “native resolution” of your TV or display  
device as closely as possible. The “native resolution” is the resolution of the actual display component in the  
TV, such as the Plasma panel, LCD panel, or DLP™ chip. The TV may accept input signals with lower or  
higher resolutions than its native resolution. In such cases the electronics in the TV will up-scale or down-  
scale the video to fit its display component. Unfortunately many TVs on the market only do an average job  
scaling the video. On the other hand, if you set the OPPO DVD player to output a resolution that matches or  
is very close to the native resolution of the TV, you are more likely to get a great picture. For the latest  
generation of 1080p, “Full HD” or “True HD” displays, the best output resolution will naturally be 1080p. For  
most flat panels and DLP™, LCD or LCoS (SXRD™, D-ILA™) rear projection televisions this will be 720p. For  
CRT rear projection televisions this will likely be 1080i. For non HD displays (very rare if they have HDMI or  
DVI) this will be 480p. You may want to try all available output resolutions and select the one that produces  
the best picture quality on your TV.  
You may use the HDMI button on the remote control or the front panel to  
select the output resolution:  
HDMI  
1. Make sure the HDMI cable, HDMI-DVI adapter cable or  
component video cable is properly connected.  
2. Turn on the TV. Adjust the TV to use the proper input (HDMI,  
DVI or Component).

I N S T A L L A T I O N  
3. Turn on the DVD player with no disc in its tray, or if the DVD  
player is already on, make sure that playback is completely  
stopped.  
4. Press the HDMI button to show the current output resolution.  
Each subsequent press of the HDMI button switches the  
output resolution in the following sequence:  
HDMI Button  
NTSC output via HDMI:  
480p Æ 720p 60Hz Æ 1080i 60Hz Æ 1080p 60Hz Æ Back to 480p again  
PAL output via HDMI:  
576p Æ 720p 50Hz Æ 1080i 50Hz Æ 1080p 50Hz Æ Back to 576p again  
NTSC output via component (HDMI not connected and “Primary Output” set to “Component”):  
480i Æ 480p Æ 720p 60Hz Æ 1080i 60Hz Æ 1080p 60Hz Æ Back to 480i again  
PAL output via component (HDMI not connected and “Primary Output” set to “Component”):  
576i Æ 576p Æ 720p 50Hz Æ 1080i 50Hz Æ 1080p 50Hz Æ Back to 576i again  
NTSC output via component (HDMI connected or “Primary Output” set to “HDMI”):  
480i only (The displayed information is for HDMI and does not reflect the component output)  
PAL output via component (HDMI connected or “Primary Output” set to “HDMI”):  
576i only (The displayed information is for HDMI and does not reflect the component output)  
5. The selected output resolution will be briefly displayed on the upper left corner of the TV screen  
as well as on the DVD player’s front panel display.  
6. The currently selected output resolution is also indicated by the front panel resolution indicators.  
NOTE  
Some TV sets do not support one or more output resolutions (particularly 1080p). In  
this case repeatedly press the HDMI button until a supported resolution is selected.  
Give your display a second or two to “grab on” to the new signal and attempt to display  
a picture.  
In case you are not able to get a picture using the HDMI or component output, please  
connect the DVD player to the TV using either the composite video or S-Video output,  
and then use the setup menu to adjust the DVD player settings.  
Video up-conversion over the component output is only available for unencrypted  
discs such as home video and consumer-created contents. Most commercially  
pressed DVD discs are CSS-encrypted and will be limited to 480i/480p resolution.  
This restriction applies to the component output only. The HDMI output is protected  
with HDCP and has no such restriction.  
The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) has not published a standard for 1080p  
component video signal yet. There are very few TV models on the market that support  
1080p over component. OPPO cannot guarantee that the 1080p component output  
from the DVD player will be compatible with your TV or display device.

Set up Audio Options  
Depending on your specific audio/video connection method, the audio options of the DVD player may need to  
be adjusted to match your configuration. Please refer to the video and audio connection methods described  
previously in this guide and the following audio setup guidelines.  
Audio Connection Directly to TV  
If your DVD player is connected directly to the TV through HDMI (as described in “Method 1” on page 9),  
through DVI and analog L/R audio cables (as described in “Method 2” on page 10), or through component  
video and analog L/R audio cables (as described in “Method 3” on page 11), it is recommended that you keep  
the factory default settings. The factory default settings set Speaker Setup Page > Down-mix to “Stereo”. In  
this mode the DVD player will mix the surround and center channels of multi-channel audio contents with the  
left and right front channels. Since most TVs only come with stereo speakers, this setup will ensure you hear  
all conversation and background audio from the DVD.

Multi-Channel Digital Audio to Receiver through HDMI  
If your DVD player is connected to an A/V receiver or processor with HDMI inputs for high resolution multi-  
channel digital audio, you are in luck! You are now equipped to send all current audio formats to your receiver  
in pure digital form. The connection method will typically be as described in “Method 4” on page 12 of this  
guide.  
To get the best possible audio via HDMI, you may need to set the following options on the DVD player’s  
setup menu, depending on your HDMI-capable receiver configuration:  
If your receiver supports HDMI v1.1 Multi-Channel PCM audio, most likely it also support DTS  
and/or Dolby Digital decoding and has surround speakers. Please set these DVD player

In this configuration you can enjoy all audio formats using the HDMI connection.  
NOTE  
HDMI is a wonderful thing. A single cable can transport both audio AND video from your DVD  
player to your display. Be aware, however, that HDMI is an evolving standard, and there  
could be compatibility issues. A receiver that supports HDMI v1.1 or later is required in order  
to play multi-channel audio for all formats, including DVD-Video/Audio and SACD (SACD  
DSD audio converted to multi-channel PCM). If the receiver supports HDMI 1.0 only, DVD-  
Audio and SACD will NOT be able to be sent via HDMI. To utilize DVD-Audio or SACD,  
please see next section for multi-channel analogue audio connection.  
Multi-Channel Analog Audio to Receiver  
If your DVD player is connected to an A/V receiver through the 7.1ch or 5.1ch analog audio jacks using 8 or 6  
RCA cables (as described in “Method 5” on page 13 and “Method 6” on page 14), you can play all supported  
audio formats and listen to it with your A/V receiver and surround systems. The following setup options are  
recommended:  
Set the Speaker Setup Page > Down-mix to “7.1CH” or “5.1CH”.  
Set the speaker size and subwoofer properly according to your actual audio hardware.

Using the multi-channel analog audio output is necessary for playing DVD-Audio and SACD if your receiver  
does not support HDMI multi-channel audio. This is absolutely worth it if you haven’t yet upgraded to a  
receiver with HDMI audio. Truly discrete audio channels are a wondrous thing, so enjoy them if you can.  
Coaxial or Optical Digital Audio to Receiver  
If your audio connection is as described in “Method 7” on page 15 of this guide, and the A/V receiver support  
Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, the following setup options are recommended:

connection method. To enjoy SACD or DVD-Audio in their full resolution, please use the HDMI connection if  
you have a receiver that handles HDMI audio and use multi-channel outputs if you do not.  
Stereo Analog Audio to Receiver  
If you primarily listen to stereo contents or your receiver only offers stereo audio connections, please use the  
analog RCA-style cables to connect the FRONT/MIXED L/R output of the DVD player to your receiver, as  
described in “Method 8” on page 16 of this guide. Depending on whether the receiver has surround speakers  
and supports Dolby Pro Logic II decoding, you may use one of the following audio configurations:

When the video output is set to PAL or NTSC system, the DVD player  
will convert the disc content to the selected system if it is different.

system conversion. The AUTO mode is only to be used if your TV  
supports both NTSC and PAL systems.

displayed in “letterbox” format with black borders on top and bottom.  
16:9 Wide – Choose when the display is 16:9. 16:9 materials will be displayed in its native  
aspect ratio, and 4:3 materials will be stretched.  
16:9 Wide/Auto – 16:9 TV Wide/Auto Pillarbox Mode. Choose when the display is 16:9.  
16:9 materials will be displayed in its native aspect ratio, and 4:3 materials will be displayed  
with black borders on both sides to maintain 4:3 aspect ratio.  
2. Border Level: To set the brightness level of the border area when borders are inserted by the  
DVD player to maintain correct aspect ratio. The default level is 0, which corresponds to total  
black. If you set it to 3 or 4, the bars become grey instead of black. This setting may be useful  
for users with Plasma or CRT TVs that are sensitive to “burn-in” issue. A grey border setting  
allows the phosphor in the bar area to be moderately used, and can alleviate the burn-in  
problem. The Border Level setting only applies to the HDMI output, and only affects borders  
inserted by the DVD player. If the borders are encoded in the original video, the border  
brightness level will not be affected by this setting.  
3. Screen Saver (on/off): To turn on/off the screen saver function. When the screen saver is on,  
video output will be turned off after 2 minutes of inactivity. This is designed to minimize the  
burn-in issue for plasma and CRT display devices. Many projectors and LCD TVs will go into a  
standby or sleep mode and turn off their projection lamp or LCD backlight lamp, thus save  
energy and prolong the lamp life. When you press any button on the OPPO remote control or  
player front panel, the screen saver will be cancelled and video output will be restored. If your  
TV is already in standby or sleep mode, you may need to wake up the TV by pressing a button  
on its remote or control panel.

4. Background: To select what background screen the DVD player shows when it is not playing a  
disc. The available options are:  
Default – Show the factory-installed background screen.  
Captured – Use the customer-captured image as the background screen.  
5. Dimmer Control: To control the display intensity of the Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD)  
information window. In case you feel that the display becomes a distraction to your enjoyment  
of the video, this option allows you to dim it or turn it off. The available options are:  
On - The VFD window is at normal brightness.  
Dim - The VFD window is at reduced brightness.  
Off – The VFD window is turned off. In this mode the display resumes momentarily when  
there is any user operation.  
6. OSD Mode: To select how long the on-screen display information, such as elapsed or  
remaining time, stays on the TV screen. The available options are:  
Normal – On-screen display information stays on the TV screen until the user cancels it.  
Silent – On-screen display information shows on the TV screen momentarily and then  
disappears. The front panel display still maintains the selected display information.  
7. Angle Mark (on/off): To turn on/off the display of angle mark when a DVD disc with multiple  
available angles is played. Keeping the angle mark off avoids distraction from normal movie  
watching.  
8. SACD Priority: To select which audio layers to play for SACD (Super Audio CD). The options  
are:  
Multi-Channel – Play the multi-channel surround audio  
Stereo – Play the 2-channel stereo audio

options are:  
DVD-Audio – Play the DVD-Audio portion of the disc with high-resolution audio  
DVD-Video – Play the DVD-Video portion of the disc with Dolby Digital or DTS audio  
10. Subtitle Font: To select the subtitle font size for digital video such as XviD. There are three  
font sizes available. This setting applies only to video files with a text subtitle. Video files with a  
graphic subtitle do not use the DVD player’s built-in font, so the font size cannot be adjusted.  
11. Photo Mode (HD/SD): To select whether to render digital photo files in high definition (HD)  
mode or standard definition (SD) mode. HD mode will result in a display with finer details and  
higher resolution, but special slide show effects such as transition, rotation, and flipping are not  
available. SD mode displays the image in lower resolution. Special slide show effects can be  
applied to photos displayed in SD mode. Please refer to page 42 for available operations.  
12. Auto Play Mode (on/off): To select whether the DVD player shall start playing an audio CD,  
SACD or a disc containing digital video, audio and picture files automatically. When auto play  
mode is turn on, these discs will start playing upon insertion into the player. When auto play

SELECT button.  
13. Alt RC Code (on/off): To turn on or off the DVD player’s response to a set of alternative remote  
control code. The alternative remote control code enables users to program their universal  
remote controls that comes with TV, Projector or A/V Receiver to operate the DVD player. If the  
universal remote control has a DVD player control function, please program it with the code for  
TOSHIBA, PHILIPS, MAGNAVOX, MARANTZ or ZENITH DVD players. Since each brand of  
remote control may have several sets of codes, you may need to try several times using  
different codes to get the working one. In case you do not want the DVD player to respond to  
the alternative remote control code, you may turn off this option.

1. Down-mix Mode: To set the audio down-mix mode for converting multi-channel audio into two-  
channel output. This setting affects the analog and HDMI audio outputs. The options are:  
Lt/Rt – Dolby Pro Logic II Left Total/Right Total. This mode is intended for use with two-  
channel Dolby Pro Logic II receivers. The center and surround channels are mixed into the  
two front channels according to the Lt/Rt matrix. A Dolby Pro Logic II receiver will decode  
the two-channel audio into surround audio.  
Stereo - This mode down-mixes decoded multi-channel (5.1ch) audio to 2-channel stereo  
output. For original stereo content the output will still be stereo. 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.  
V. Surround - Virtual Surround. This mode creates a virtual surround effect from stereo or  
multi-channel audio contents.  
5.1CH – This mode enables 5.1ch decoded audio output. The number of actual output  
channels depends on the disc.  
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. 7.1CH output is available  
only through the analog audio output jacks.  
2. Front Speaker: To set the sound filtering control for the front speakers. The options are:  
Large – Choose if the front speakers are large. Bass frequencies are passed to the front  
speakers.  
Small – Choose if the front speakers are small. Bass frequencies are not passed to the  
front speakers to reduce possible distortion.  
3. Center Speaker: To set the sound filtering control for the center speaker. The options are:  
Large – Choose if the center speaker is large. Bass frequencies are passed to the center  
speaker.  
Small – Choose if the center speaker is small. Bass frequencies are not passed to the  
center speaker to reduce possible distortion.  
Off – Choose if there is no center speaker.  
4. Surround Speaker: To set the sound filtering control for the surround speakers. The options  
are:  
Large – Choose if the surround speakers are large. Bass frequencies are passed to the  
surround speakers.

Small – Choose if the surround speakers are small. Bass frequencies are not passed to  
the surround speakers to reduce possible distortion.  
Off – Choose if there are no surround speakers.  
5. S. Back Speaker: To set the sound filtering control for the surround back speakers. The sound  
filtering control for the surround back speakers always follow the surround speakers. It is not  
possible to set the surround and surround back speakers to different sizes. You may set the  
surround back speakers to “Off”, however if this is your speaker configuration you should really  
choose “5.1CH” as the “Down-mix” mode.  
6. Subwoofer: To enable/disable the subwoofer output. The options are:  
On – Subwoofer output is enabled.  
Off – Subwoofer output is disabled.  
7. Channel Delay: To set the delay time for the center, surround, surround back speakers and the  
subwoofer. The delay is to compensate for the audio propagation time difference caused by the  
placement of speakers.  
Channel delay is generally not required since most A/V receivers have the capability to adjust  
channel delay and compensate for speaker distance differences. However if your receiver does  
not have such functions, you may adjust channel delay on the DVD player. Channel delay is  
only applied if the player is decoding multi-channel audio. If you use raw bit-stream audio  
output to your A/V receiver, the raw bit-stream audio is not adjusted for channel delay.

For example, in the above diagram, measure the distance (in feet) from the primary listening  
position to the Front Left or Front Right Speaker. Your Front Right and Left speakers should  
measure the same distance. If they do not, please adjust them if possible. Enter the distance of  
the Front Speakers (n in the above picture) using the left/right ARROW buttons.  
Next, measure the distance (in feet) from center speakers (o) to the listening position. Move the  
cursor to highlight the Center speaker in the Channel Delay setup page, and enter the distance  
(as close as possible) in feet using the left/right ARROW buttons. Repeat for each speaker in  
the system (Center, Left Surround, Right Surround, Left Surround Back, Right Surround Back  
and Subwoofer) as available. The DVD player will insert appropriate delay to the center,  
subwoofer and surround channels to make sure sound wave from different speakers arrive at  
the listener at the same time.  
Distance between the surround speakers and the listener must be shorter than or equal to that  
between the front speakers and the listener.  
In case the channel delay settings cannot match your speaker configuration, please set all  
distances to the same and use your receiver/amplifier to set the channel delay.

Press the up/down ARROW buttons to raise or lower the volume of the selected channel in  
0.5dB increments.  
Press the SELECT button to confirm the settings and return to the Audio Setup Page.  
Channel trim is generally not required since most A/V receivers have the capability to adjust  
channel trim and compensate for speaker sensitivity differences. However if your receiver does  
not have such functions (many receivers do not support channel trim for their multi-channel  
analog inputs), you may adjust channel trim on the DVD player. For most accurate results, it is  
recommended that you use test tones from a calibration disc, such as AVIA Guide to Home  
Theater, and a SPL (Sound Pressure Level) meter.  
9. Audio Delay: To add delay to analog or PCM digital audio output. If you experience  
audio/video synchronization problem, you may use this option to add a slight delay to the audio  
so it is synchronized to the video.  
Press the left/right ARROW buttons to adjust delay. The audio delay can be adjusted in  
10ms steps.  
Audio delay does not apply to raw bit stream digital audio output.

1. HDMI Audio: To select digital audio output from the HDMI port. The options are:  
LPCM – Digital audio output via HDMI will be multi-channel Linear PCM format. The Down-  
mix setting in the “Speaker Setup Page” will affect whether and how multi-channel audio  
content will be down-mixed to stereo. When this option is selected, compressed audio bit  
streams will be decoded by the DVD player. This setting is recommended when connecting  
the HDMI output directly to a TV.  
Auto – Digital audio output via HDMI will be the same as the digital coaxial/optical audio  
output for CD, Dolby Digital and DTS audio signals. For high resolution stereo or multi-  
channel audio contents such as DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD, the DVD player will send  
multi-channel PCM audio signals with the highest available sample frequency and bit  
numbers. Depending on the original audio content, the format could be 44.1kHz - 192kHz,  
2 - 6 channels. This option is recommended when connecting the HDMI output to an A/V  
receiver or processor with HDMI v1.1 or above audio capabilities.  
Off – No digital audio output via HDMI.  
NOTE  
If you use HDMI to connect audio to an HDMI A/V receiver or audio processor, it is  
recommended that you choose 720p or higher HDMI output resolution when playing high  
resolution audio content (DVD-Audio and SACD). According to the HDMI specification, the  
bandwidth available for audio is proportional to the total bandwidth used by video. At  
480p/576p resolution, the HDMI specification can only support 2 channels of audio with high  
sample rate (up to 192kHz), or 8 channels of audio with standard sample rate (up to 48kHz).  
Depending on the capability of your A/V receiver or audio processor, if you play high  
resolution audio content at 480p/576p resolution, you may get reduced audio resolution,  
incomplete audio channels, or even no audio/video output at all. Choosing a high HDMI  
output resolution such as 720p or 1080i allows enough bandwidth for all high sample rate  
audio channels.  
2. Digital Output: To set the bit stream type of the digital audio output for use with Dolby Digital  
and DTS-compatible receivers. The options are:  
Raw – Passes the encoded multi-channel digital audio unaltered. Choose this setting if  
your receiver/amplifier is capable of decoding Dolby Digital and/or DTS.  
PCM – Forces down-mixed 2-channel digital audio output. Choose this setting if your  
receiver/amplifier only supports stereo digital (PCM) audio.

3. LPCM Rate: To set the maximum Linear PCM output frequency. The options are:  
48K – Supported by most equipment.  
96K – Allows a higher sampling rate and frequency response. It can result in better audio  
quality. Ensure that the receiver/amplifier can support it.  
192K – Allows the highest sampling rate and frequency response. It can result in the best  
audio quality. Ensure that the receiver/amplifier can support it.  
4. EQ Type: To set the equalization pattern type. Available options are: None, Rock, Pop, Live,  
Dance, Techno, Classic and Soft.  
5. Sound Field: To set the sound field effect. Available options are: Off, Concert, Living Room,  
Hall, Bathroom, Cave, Arena and Church.  
6. Audio Tone (+/-16): This function raises or lowers the tone (key/pitch) of the audio track. This  
is useful for playing Karaoke discs and should not be used for regular music listening or movies.  
Press the SELECT button to show the tone control window.  
Press the left/right ARROW buttons to lower or raise the tone/pitch.  
Press the SELECT button to confirm the setting.  
7. Pro Logic II: Taking a step further than most DVD players, the OPPO DVD player allows you to  
configure Dolby Pro Logic II to expand 2-channel source audio into full 5-channel surround  
sound. Note: Pro Logic II functionality is effective only when Speaker Setup Page > Down-  
mix is set to “5.1ch” or “7.1ch” and Digital Output is set to “Raw”.

1. Primary Output: To select the primary video output port. The options are:  
HDMI – Use HDMI as the primary video output port. This setting will ensure that the HDMI  
output is available all the time. Component video output is limited to 480i/576i resolution  
when this option is selected.  
Component – Use component video as the primary video output port. The component  
output can support progressive-scan (480p/576p) and up-converted resolutions  
(720p/1080i/1080p) when the HDMI output is not in use (HDMI cable unplugged). When the  
HDMI output is in use, the player will output interlaced video (480i/576i) through its  
component output.  
NOTE  
When “Primary Output” is set to “Component”, the HDMI port may have no output signal if  
the player does not detect an HDMI connection when it is turned on. For example, if you turn  
on the player first and then turn on the TV or A/V receiver, the player may miss the  
opportunity to detect and enable the HDMI connection. Should this happen, press the  
EJECT button to eject the disc tray. This will give the player an opportunity to detect and  
enable the HDMI output.  
2. Sharpness: To set the sharpness of video output. Sharpness enhancement level can be set  
between -2 and 5. The default is level 0. Level 0 turns off sharpness enhancement. The  
negative levels may be used to reduce or eliminate any unwanted edge enhancement, however  
picture may appear soft. Level 1 through 5 gradually increases the enhancement level. The  
higher the level, the sharper the video details are. However too high a sharpness level may  
cause white line etching around objects.  
Press the SELECT button to show the Sharpness scale, and then use the left/right ARROW  
buttons to adjust.  
Press the SELECT button to confirm the new setting.  
NOTE  
Sharpness (edge enhancement) is a video processing function that can produce a sharper  
looking picture but at the same time may cause unwanted artifacts. The DV-983H model  
utilizes the fine detail and edge enhancement technology from VRS™ by Anchor Bay (Video  
Reference Series) for its HDMI output. This technology provides fine control to achieve an  
optimal balance between enhancing sharpness and minimizing unwanted artifacts. We  
generally recommend level -1, 0 or 1 depending on the content when the HDMI output is  
used. We recommend level 0 when other video output is used.

3. Brightness: To adjust the brightness (black level) of the video output.  
4. Contrast: To adjust the contrast (white level) of the video output.  
NOTE  
The ability to set brightness and contrast is no small thing. If you do not have the correct  
black and white levels then your images can appear washed out or you won’t be able to see  
into the shadows when watching darker scenes in movies. Televisions have brightness (black  
level) and contrast (white level) controls; however it may take a combination of tweaking both  
the DVD player and your television to get just the right result. We recommend using a  
calibration DVD like AVIA Guide to Home Theater or Digital Video Essentials and setting your  
display for the best possible picture. Once that is done, see if changing the DVD player  
settings can get you even closer to the optimal picture.  
5. Hue: To adjust the hue (tint) of the video output.  
6. Saturation: To adjust the saturation (color intensity level) of the video output.  
7. Gamma: To adjust the Gamma (intensity distribution to video signal level) of the video output.  
The available settings are High, Medium, Low and Off. This setting applies to analog video  
output only. The HDMI output is not affected by this setting.  
8. Noise Reduction: To select whether the DVD player shall apply video noise reduction  
processing. When turned on, the DVD player adjusts the picture quality by reducing the “block  
noise” (mosaic-like patterns caused by video compression). The noise reduction function is not  
as effective to reduce the “mosquito noise” (artifacts around the outlines of objects) or “film grain  
noise” (natural variation of picture intensity caused by film grain). We recommend using the  
noise reduction function only when you encounter poorly encoded or compressed video that has  
apparent block noise.  
9. Y/C Delay: To adjust the time difference between the Luminance (Y) and Chrominance (Pb/Pr  
or Cb/Cr) channels of the video signal. When there is a significant lag between the channels,  
image will look “smeared” because the color component is not lining up properly to the black  
and white luminance component. Adjust the Y/C delay setting only when the TV or projector  
has a Y/C delay problem. For a display device that normally does not have Y/C alignment  
problems, keep the Y/C delay setting at its default level 0. The Y/C delay setting applies to the  
HDMI output only.  
10. CUE-Correction: To select whether the DVD player should apply chroma filtering to remove  
Chroma Up-sampling Errors (CUE) and Interlaced Chroma Problem (ICP). CUE is caused by  
improper decoding and de-interlacing of MPEG encoded video. The DV-983H is free of the  
CUE problem. ICP is caused by encoding interlaced video so you may encounter it on some  
DVDs. The CUE-Correction function can detect and filter out the errors. The available options  
are:  
On – Chroma filtering is always on. Use this setting if the disc is known to have chroma  
errors.  
Off – No chroma filtering is applied. Use this setting if the disc does not have chroma  
errors.  
Auto (Recommended) – Automatic chroma error detection and correction. Use this setting  
when you are not sure if the disc has chroma errors.  
The CUE-Correction setting applies to the HDMI output only.

S E T U P M E N U O P T I O N S  
11. De-interlacing Mode: To select the type of de-interlacing algorithm that the DVD player should  
use to convert interlaced video on the DVD discs to progressive output. The DV-983H utilizes  
the Precision De-interlacing™ technology from VRS™ by Anchor Bay (Video Reference Series)  
for its HDMI output. A proper de-interlacing mode will ensure the output video match the  
original contents and free of de-interlacing artifacts. The available options are:  
Auto – Source adaptive de-interlacing is on. This is the recommended setting as it sets the  
DVD player to optimally process a variety of signal types and quality.  
Film Bias Mode – The Film Bias Mode may improve film mode detection in some cases.  
Video Mode – Turn off film mode detection and treat all contents as original video. De-  
interlacing is done by weaving two video fields into a video frame. Use this setting if you  
are certain the disc is made from footage originally shot with a video camera, not with a film  
camera.  
2:2 Even - This mode should be used when the you know that the source is high-quality 2:2  
pull-down (i.e. film-based content played back in a country with a 50Hz video standard) and  
want to avoid any loss of cadence lock while watching that source. This mode weaves two  
adjacent fields together starting with an even field and combining it with the following odd  
field. This will provide a higher quality overall signal than the ‘Auto’ or ‘Film Bias Mode’  
settings, providing that the source really is 2:2 pull-down and does not have bad edits.  
2:2 Odd - This mode is very similar to “2:2 Even” except that this weaves two adjacent  
fields together starting with an odd field and combining it with the following even field. Only  
one of the 2:2 de-interlacing settings is correct for any given source and the correct mode  
can be chosen by simply trying both of them and selecting the one which does not result in  
combing artifacts.  
The de-interlacing mode setting applies to the HDMI output only.  
12. Video Mode: To select the mode of conversion for video output. The options are:  
Video 1 – Video 1 mode uses the video decoder chip to perform PAL/NTSC conversion.  
This mode applies PAL/NTSC conversion to all outputs. However the conversion quality is  
not as good as the Video 2 mode.  
Video 2 – Video 2 mode utilizes the Precision Video Scaling™ and RightRate™ video  
processing technologies from VRS™ by Anchor Bay (Video Reference Series) to perform  
PAL/NTSC conversion. If you frequently watch both NTSC and PAL movies, this is the  
preferred mode. Please note that in Video 2 mode, PAL/NTSC conversion is not performed  
for the analog video outputs (composite, S-Video and component output). The advanced  
conversion is available through the HDMI output only.  
13. Color Space: To select the color space for the HDMI output. The available options are:  
Auto – The DVD player check with the display device to automatically determine what color  
space to use. If the display device supports YCbCr 4:4:4, YCbCr 4:4:4 is used to avoid  
extra color space conversion. This is the recommended setting.  
YCbCr 4:4:4 – The HDMI output uses YCbCr 4:4:4 color space. If you select this option  
please make sure that your TV is configured to accept YCbCr 4:4:4 signals, otherwise the  
video color will be incorrect.  
RGB Video Level – The HDMI output uses RGB color space and normal signal range  
suitable for video displays.  
RGB PC Level – The HDMI output uses RGB color space and expands the signal range.  
The expanded signal range is suitable for personal computer (PC) displays. Some TVs are  
designed to be used as a PC monitor, and expect signal in expanded RGB range when the  
DVI input is selected. For these TVs if the video signal uses the normal RGB range, the  
black-white contrast will be reduced. You can set the DVD player to use the RGB PC Level  
output and restore proper contrast.
