Discs that cannot be played
• BDs with cartridge
• DVD-RAMs
• HD-DVDs
• Data portion of CD-Extras
• DVDs / Blu-Rays with a region code not matching the
player’s region code
• Some Dual-Discs: A Dual-Disc is a two-sided disc with

side. The digital audio side does not meet the technical
specifications of the Red Book CD format so playback is
not guaranteed.
• Audio discs with copy-protection may not be playable.
Notes about BD-ROM compatibility
Since the Blu-ray Disc specifications are new and evolving, some discs may not play properly depending on the disc type, version
and encoding. It is possible that a Blu-ray Disc manufactured after the player uses new features of the Blu-ray Disc specifications.
To ensure the best possible viewing experience, the player may need a firmware or software update from time to time. Please visit
OPPO Digital’s web site www.oppodigital.com
to check if updates are available.
Disc care and handling
• To keep the disc clean from scratches or fingerprints,
handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the recorded
surface.
• Blu-ray Discs record data in very high density and the
recorded layer is very close to the disc surface. For this
reason, Blu-ray Discs are more sensitive to dust and
fingerprints than DVD. Should you encounter playback
problems and see dirty spots on the disc surface, clean
the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the
center out along the radial direction. Do not wipe the
disc in a circular motion.
• Do not use record cleaning sprays or solvents such as
benzene, thinner and anti-static spray.
• Do not attach labels or stickers to discs as this may
cause the disc to warp or become too thick, resulting in
playback issues and a potentially stuck disc.
• Avoid exposing the discs to direct sunlight or heat
sources.
• Do not use the following discs:
o Discs with exposed adhesive from removed stickers
or labels. The disc may get stuck inside the player.
o Warped or cracked discs.
o Irregularly shaped discs, such as heart or business
card shapes.

INTRODUCTION
10
Changing the Remote Code
The remote control contains three OPPO remote codes. The default is Code 1. If you have other OPPO
products placed close to the UDP-205, they may inadvertently respond to the UDP-205 remote control. To
prevent this, you can select a different remote code.
To select a new remote code, open the battery compartment cover of the remote control, and then use a ball
point pen to flip the switch to one of the positions marked as 1, 2, or 3. Close the battery compartment cover.
Make sure that the UDP-205 player is turned on and that the disc tray is ejected. Aim the remote control at the
player. Press and hold the ENTER button for 5 seconds. The player will start using the new remote code.

Common Connection Methods
Connecting to an A/V Receiver via HDMI
• If you have an HDMI-capable receiver that supports 4K HDR video pass-through, you can simply
run an HDMI cable from the player’s HDMI OUT (Main) output into your receiver and enable
HDMI video pass-through on the receiver (see your receiver’s owner’s manual for more
information). The receiver usually has an HDMI output that you can connect to your TV to pass
the video signal.
• Some receivers contain a mixture of HDMI 2.0 and HDMI 1.4 ports. In order to view 4K UHD
content, ensure that you are connecting the UDP-205’s HDMI OUT (Main) output into an HDMI
2.0 and HDCP 2.2 compliant input of the receiver.
NOTE
• HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a single cable that can transport both audio and
video from your player to your display. Be aware, however, that HDMI is an evolving standard, and
there may be compatibility issues. A receiver that supports audio input over HDMI is required.
Some receivers offer HDMI ports solely for video switching. If your receiver does not have audio
input capability, please read the following sections regarding other connection methods.
• For Blu-ray Discs, a receiver that supports HDMI 1.4 or later with decoding capability for Dolby
TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio is preferred.
• For 4K UHD Blu-ray discs, a receiver that supports HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 or later is required. It
is recommended to use an 18 Gbps Premium High-Speed HDMI Cable to watch 4K UHD movies.
• The UDP-205 supports bitstreaming the latest object-based surround audio formats, such as Dolby
Atmos and DTS:X to a receiver that can decode these formats.
• Please check the specifications of your receiver to ensure that it meets these requirements.
BASIC OPERATIONS
13
Connecting to a TV via HDMI
• Use an HDMI cable to connect the player’s HDMI OUT (Main) output directly into your TV. This
connection method delivers both audio and video in a pure digital format via a single cable.
• In order to play 4K UHD content, you must connect the UDP-205’s HDMI OUT (Main) output into
an HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 compliant input of the 4K UHD TV.
NOTE
• This connection method will output sound via the TV’s speakers. For optimal sound quality, it is
recommended that audio be transferred from the UDP-205 to an A/V receiver with connected
speakers.
• You will need a UHD TV that supports HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 in order to watch UHD Blu-Ray
and other UHD content in 4K resolution.
• You will need an HDR-capable TV to watch HDR content.
• You will need an 18 Gbps High-Speed HDMI Cable to watch UHD movies at 4K@60.
• Do not connect the HDMI OUT (Audio Only) output to your TV.
BASIC OPERATIONS
14
Connecting to a TV and A/V Receiver via Dual HDMI
• The UDP-205’s Dual HDMI connection mode ensures that you can enjoy the highest possible
video quality and resolution, in addition to high bit rate audio content. Use an HDMI cable to
connect the HDMI OUT (Main) output to your TV, and another HDMI cable to connect the HDMI
OUT (Audio Only) output to your receiver.
• This configuration is recommended when you have a 3D or UHD compatible display, but your
receiver is not 3D or UHD compatible. This configuration will allow you to send the video signal
(3D or UHD in this case) directly to the TV and send the audio signal to the receiver.
NOTE
• Please refer to the notes on HDMI connections available on page 12.
• If your receiver does not have HDMI audio input capability, please try the alternate
connection methods discussed on pages 15 through 18.
BASIC OPERATIONS
15
Connecting to a Stereo Audio System through RCA-style Cables
• If your audio system offers only stereo audio inputs, or if you would like to connect a dedicated stereo
audio system in addition to the surround audio system which is already connected to the HDMI,
coaxial or optical outputs, you can connect the dedicated stereo audio system to the STEREO
AUDIO OUT terminals of the player.
• Two sets of dedicated stereo audio outputs are available on the UDP-205: the RCA-style connectors
and the XLR balanced connectors (shown in the next page). Preference should be given to the XLR
connectors since they may provide better noise rejection and signal integrity (refer to page 17 for
more information).
NOTE
• The STEREO AUDIO OUT terminals automatically down-mix the multi-channel audio
source into the stereo signals. However, STEREO AUDIO OUT will NOT be affected by the
“Down Mix” modes and other speaker settings in the Audio Processing section of the
Setup Menu (described on page 65).
BASIC OPERATIONS
16
Connecting to a Stereo Audio System through XLR Balanced Cables
• You can also connect the BALANCED STEREO AUDIO OUT to your stereo audio system. Three-pin
(XLR3) cables are needed, and the XLR terminals on the player are male type.
NOTE
• Balanced audio connectors are used mostly in professional audio electronics, such as high
quality microphones and inter-equipment connections. The UDP-205 utilizes the 3-pin XLR
connector (shown below), which transmits a pair of differential signals (positive /negative).
The amplifier extracts the voltage difference between differential signals, thus the common
noise can be rejected and the signal integrity is improved.

Connecting to an A/V Receiver or Amplifier via Analog Outputs
• The UDP-205 is equipped with a 7.1ch analog audio output section that can be connected to the
7.1ch analog input section of an A/V receiver or amplifier for audio output. This method is required if
the A/V receiver does not have HDMI inputs. It is also a preferred connection method for taking
advantage of the UDP-205’s advanced digital-to-analog converter (DAC).
• Please use up to 8 RCA-style audio interconnect cables to connect the FL (Front Left), FR (Front
Right), SL (Surround Left), SR (Surround Right), C (Center), SW (Subwoofer), SBL (Surround Back
Left) and SBR (Surround Back Right) analog output terminals of the UDP-205 to the corresponding
multi-channel analog audio input jacks of your A/V receiver or amplifier.
• If the A/V receiver or amplifier only has 5.1ch audio inputs, you can omit the SBL (Surround Back
Left) and SBR (Surround Back Right) outputs. In the Setup Menu, set the Down Mix Mode to 5.1ch
in the Speaker Configuration section (refer to Down Mix Mode on page 68).
• If your audio system offers only stereo audio inputs, or if you would like to connect a dedicated stereo
audio system in addition to the surround audio system which is already connected to the HDMI or
S/PDIF outputs, you can connect the dedicated stereo audio system to the FL (Front Left) and FR
(Front Right) outputs of the player. In the Setup Menu, set the Down Mix Mode to Stereo in the
Speaker Configuration section (refer to Down Mix Mode on page 68).

optical digital audio cable to connect one of the digital audio outputs to the corresponding input
terminal on your A/V receiver. For detailed setup of coaxial/optical signals, refer to page 60.
NOTE
• 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. To listen to high resolution audio formats in their best quality,
please use the HDMI connection if you have a receiver that handles HDMI audio (see page
12) or use the multi-channel analog outputs if you do not (see page 15).
• Due to copyright restrictions, SACD audio cannot be sent through the coaxial or optical
digital audio output. To listen to SACDs, please use the HDMI or analog audio connections.

32
Reference audio processors. Three digital
audio input ports are available: OPTICAL, COAXIAL and USB DAC, all located on the back
panel. The processed analog audio is available from the dedicated stereo (RCA and XLR) and
multi-channel terminals.
• A digital audio source device (such as a DVD/CD player, digital TV box, and PC or Mac) can be
connected directly to the input port through an Optical, Coaxial or USB cable (not included).
Some configuration may be required on the source device to make sure the audio signal is sent
out from the correct output terminal. You can then use the INPUT button on the OPPO remote to
open the Input Source Menu and select the desired input port.
NOTE
• The UDP-205 supports up to 2ch/768kHz PCM and DSD512 signals through its USB audio
input, and up to 2ch/96kHz PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS and AAC signal through its Optical and
Coaxial audio inputs.
• To utilize the USB DAC input from a Windows computer (XP, Vista, Windows 7, 8, 10), a
software driver needs to be installed on the computer. The driver is available online at UDP-
205 support page on the OPPO Digital website (www.oppodigital.com).
• No software driver is required for Mac computers.
• We recommend using a digital audio cable no longer than 13 feet (4m) to guarantee the
optimal bus performance and the correct interface operations.

MEDIA FILE PLAYBACK
In addition to playing standard disc-based formats such as Blu-ray, DVD, CD and SACD, the
UDP-205 can play digital media files. You can enjoy digital music, movies and photos stored on a data
disc (recordable CD, DVD or Blu-ray), an external USB drive, or via network storage. Due to the
variation of media, encoding software and techniques used, compatibility cannot be guaranteed for all
user-created or downloaded content. Support for such content is on a best effort basis.
Playback from a USB Flash Drive
The UDP-205 is equipped with three USB ports: two USB 3.0 ports in the back and one USB 2.0 port in the
front. You may use any of the available USB ports to plug in a USB drive.
The USB ports are rated to provide a maximum of 5V, 1000mA power to the USB drive. It is sufficient for USB
thumb drives and flash memory card readers, but may not be sufficient for USB hard disks. It is recommended
to check with your drive manufacturer for power requirements, or use an external power supply.
NOTE
• This unit supports “USB Mass Storage Class Bulk-Only Transport” devices only. Most USB
thumbs drives, portable hard disk drives and card readers conform to this device class. Other
USB devices such as MP3 players, digital cameras, and mobile phones may not be
compatible.
• Supported USB drives can be formatted with the FAT (File Allocation Table), FAT32, exFAT or
NTFS (New Technology File System) file systems.
• In some cases, an incompatible USB device may cause the player to stop responding. If this
occurs, simply turn off the power, remove the USB device, and turn the player back on.
• In order to minimize the risk of data corruption, it is recommended that you only unplug the
USB device when playback is completely stopped.
MEDIA FILE PLAYBACK

Playback from a Home Network
The UDP-205 can remotely play back music, photo, and video files stored on computers or NAS
(Network Attached Storage) devices that are connected to the same home network. The computer or
NAS need to run server software that supports media sharing protocols such as DLNA, SMB/CIFS or
NFS. To play media files shared on your home network, press the HOME button on the remote to bring
the Home Menu, select the Network icon and press the ENTER button to show the list of available
servers.
The UDP-205 player can play media files on the home network in one of the following three ways:
• As a digital media player (DMP): the player can actively search, access and pull content from
local media servers which supports DLNA.
• As a digital media renderer (DMR): the player plays content received (“pushed”) from a digital
media controller (DMC). A DMC-capable media server is required. Refer to the server’s
respective user instructions for correct configuration and operation.
• As a SMB/CIFS/NFS client: the player can directly access files shared through SMB/CIFS/NFS
servers over the network, as if accessing an external USB hard drive. Most computers,
especially those installed with Windows, already support SMB clients. Please refer to respective
OS instructions to set up the SMB/CIFS/NFS shared file/folder.
NOTE
• NAS is a networked appliance that provides file-based data storage services to other devices
on the network. Commercial products are available on the market.
• SMB (Server Message Block) or CIFS (Common Internet File System) is mostly known as
Microsoft Windows Network. It does not require an extra media server or perform any media
format transcoding, which reduces the processing load and keeps the original content quality.

SETUP MENU OPTIONS
The Setup Menu of the UDP-205 presents many setup and configuration options. For most users, the
default configuration will be sufficient and you will not require any changes to the settings. However, if
you need to configure the player to perfectly match your home theater setup and viewing preferences,
please refer to the following sections for details about each configuration option.
Using the Setup Menu System
Like many other sections listed in this guide, the player’s Setup Menu allows you to make adjustments to
match your specific audio/video configuration. When performing menu adjustments, we will use the following
terminology to indicate the location of the desired function:
Setup Menu Section> Menu Item >Selection
Setup Menu Section is the uppermost Setup Menu level. Within the UDP-205, there are six Setup Menu
sections listed in the left column of the Setup Menu: Playback Setup, Video Output Setup, Audio Output
Setup, Audio Processing, Device Setup, and Network Setup.
Menu Item is the parameter to be adjusted which appears in the center column of the Setup Menu. Once you
enter a Setup Menu Section, the list of Menu Items and their current value are displayed in a box.
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 right of its corresponding Menu Item.
A Scroll Mark appears at the top or bottom of the menu when there are more Menu Items or Selections 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 items.
SETUP MENU OPTIONS
47
The preceding 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 Auto Resume parameter to Off in the Playback Setup section.
To indicate where we were, you would see the following: Playback Setup>Auto Resume>Off.
NOTE
• It is possible that some setup items may be grayed-out and inaccessible. This may be caused
by several reasons: playback is ongoing; a disc is in the tray; or a prerequisite setup item
excludes some options. Please stop playback and eject the disc before trying to change these
setup items. If you still cannot access the setup item, please check for configuration conflicts.
For example, if Network Setup > Internet Connection is set to Ethernet, the Wireless
Setting menu item will be grayed-out. Setting Internet Connection to Wireless will enable
the Wireless Setting menu.
The Setup Menu can be accessed by pressing the SETUP button on the remote control, or by selecting the

5. Color Space: Allows you to select the color space for the HDMI video output.
• Auto (default) – The player checks with the display device to automatically determine what
color space to use. If the display device supports YCbCr 4:4:4, then it will be used to avoid
extra color space conversion.
• 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 displays if the video signal uses the normal RGB range, the
black-white contrast will be reduced. You can set the player to use the RGB PC Level
output and restore proper contrast.
• YCbCr 4:4:4 – The HDMI output uses YCbCr 4:4:4 color space.
• YCbCr 4:2:2 – The HDMI output uses YCbCr 4:2:2 color space. Generally this is the color
space that is close to the color space encoded on the discs. (All discs are encoded in
YCbCr 4:2:0 color space, and the video decoder decodes it into YCbCr 4:2:2.)
• YCbCr 4:2:0 – The HDMI output uses YCbCr 4:2:0 color space. This is the color space
that is the same as the color space encoded on the discs. (It is an experimental feature and
only supports HDMI video output at UHD 60Hz and UHD 50Hz.)
6. Color Depth: Allows you to select the color depth mode for the HDMI video output. For
displays that support increased color depth, you should see smoother color transitions and
better gradients.
• Auto (default) – The player automatically determines the color depth mode based on the
capabilities of the display device.
• 12-bit – Always uses the 12-bit color depth mode.
• 10-bit – Always uses the 10-bit color depth mode.
• 8-bit – Always uses the 8-bit color depth mode.
NOTE
• For watching a UHD movie with HDR-10 color, you need to select Auto or 10-bit color
depth to enable HDR output.
• The 12-bit and 10- bit color depth mode may not be supported by all TVs. Using the 12-
bit or 10-bit color depth mode when connected to a TV that does not support it may
result in no video.
7. TV Aspect Ratio: Sets the aspect ratio of the player’s output image.
• 16:9 Wide – 16:9 content will be displayed in its native aspect ratio, and 4:3 contents will be
stretched horizontally.
• 16:9 Wide / Auto (default) – 16:9 content will be displayed in its native aspect ratio, and 4:3
content will be displayed with black borders on both sides in order to maintain the original
4:3 aspect ratio.

8. 3D Setting: Adjusts the playback settings for better 3D visual quality.
• 3D Output – Allows you to choose the video output mode for 3D content.
Auto (default) – Outputs 3D if supported both by both 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 criteria are met, the player sends 3D video
from its HDMI output terminals; otherwise, only 2D video is sent out. You may need to
wear 3D glasses that come with your TV in order to view 3D movies.
Off – Always output 2D video format, even when 3D video exists on the disc. This
guarantees the video quality if your TV is not 3D compatible, or if some necessary
components (such as the 3D glasses) are missing.
Forced – Always output 3D video format for 3D Blu-ray Discs. You may experience a
black screen (no video output) if your TV is not 3D compatible.
• 2D->3D Depth – Adjusts the 3D depth perception when performing 2D-to-3D conversion
(also called “simulated 3D”). The default value is 8.
• 3D TV Size – Allows you to enter the diagonal screen size of the 3D HDTV. Use the
number buttons on the remote to enter the actual diagonal size of the TV screen, and then
press the ENTER button to confirm. The default value is 46 inches. This value does not
directly affect video quality, but some 3D movies may use this value to decide how to place
certain graphics.
9. DVD 24p Conversion: Allows you to enable 24Hz frame rate conversion for DVD. This option
is only available when Output Resolution is Auto, Output Resolution is Custom and
Custom Resolution is UHD Auto/UHD 24Hz/1080p Auto/1080p 24Hz. Many DVDs that
originate from theatrical movies are encoded with a technique called “3:2 telecine” in order to
convert the 24 frames per second film to 60Hz video signal. The player can convert the 60Hz
video signal back to 24 frames per second film and output as 24Hz. Smoother motion may be
achieved by enabling this option, if both the TV and the DVD disc meet the conversion
conditions. The available options are:
• On – Converts DVD to 24Hz frame rate when possible. Remember that motion errors may
be observed if the DVD is not suitable for such conversion.
• Off (default) – Does not convert DVD to 24Hz frame rate.
10. De-interlacing Mode: Allows you to select the appropriate algorithm that the player should use
to convert interlaced video on a DVD or Blu-ray Disc to progressive output. A proper de-
interlacing mode will ensure the output video matches the original contents and is free of de-
interlacing artifacts. The available options are:
• Auto (default) – Automatically selects the de-interlacing mode depending on the video type.
This is the recommended setting as it sets the player to optimally process a variety of
signal types.
• Film – De-interlacing the video originally made in film mode. The mode may improve film
mode detection in some cases.
• Video – De-interlacing the video originally shot with a video camera. Use this setting only if
you are certain the disc is made from footage originally not shot with a film camera.

Picture Adjustment
Picture Adjustment is a special section of the Video Output Setup menu. It allows you to fine tune many
picture control parameters in order to achieve optimal picture quality. To enter the Picture Adjustment menu,
press the SETUP button on the remote control to enter the player’s Setup Menu and choose Video Output
Setup>Picture Adjustment.
Since the player is equipped with only the HDMI OUT (Main) output port for video output, the Picture
Adjustment menu will come up directly for HDMI output.
Picture Adjustment Menu
To change a picture adjustment parameter, use the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons to highlight the
parameter, and use the LEFT/RIGHT ARROW buttons to change its value.
To aid in the adjustment of picture control parameters, the picture adjustment menu will be reduced to
only show the parameter being adjusted once you press the LEFT/RIGHT ARROW buttons (except the
Picture Mode, which you will directly see the mode name switches between Mode 1, 2 and 3, and all
the other parameters are adjusted automatically to the stored value). The reduced menu will be
positioned near the bottom of the screen.
You can continue adjusting the current parameter by pressing the LEFT/RIGHT ARROW buttons. To
select another parameter, press the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons. Press the ENTER button to return to
the main Picture Adjustment menu.
To exit the Picture Adjustment menu and return to the Setup Menu, either select Exit in the menu, or
press the RETURN button.
1. Picture Mode: The UDP-205 allows you to save up to three customized modes. Press the
LEFT/RIGHT ARROW buttons to switch the mode and all parameters will be automatically
adjusted to their stored values. Changes to the current parameter values will be stored
automatically when you exit the Picture Adjustment screen or switch to another Picture Mode.
2. Brightness: Allows you to adjust the brightness (black level) of the video output.
3. Contrast: Allows you to adjust the contrast (white level) of the video output.
NOTE
• Proper brightness and contrast settings are necessary for a quality video output. If you do
not have the correct black and white levels, your images can appear washed out or can
lose detail in shadows when watching darker scenes. Televisions have brightness (black
level) and contrast (white level) controls; however, it may require a combination of
SETUP MENU OPTIONS
57
tweaking both the player and your television to get the optimal result. We recommend
using a calibration disc such as the Spears & Munsil™ High Definition Benchmark Blu-ray
Edition or Digital Video Essentials HD Basics as aids for adjusting. First adjust the
television’s picture controls for the best possible picture. Once that is done, try changing
the player’s settings to further refine the picture to the optimal result.
4. Hue: Allows you to adjust the hue (tint) of the video output.
5. Saturation: Allows you to adjust the saturation (color intensity level) of the video output.
6. Sharpness: Allows you to set the sharpness of video output. Sharpness is a video processing
function that can control the image sharpness but at the same time may cause unwanted
artifacts. The sharpness level can be set between 0 and +16. The default is level 0. The higher
the level, the sharper the video details are. However, too high a sharpness level may cause
white lines or halo-like effects to appear around objects.
7. Noise Reduction: Allows you to select whether the player will apply video noise reduction
processing. The default is level 0, which turns off noise reduction. When this level is increased,
the player adjusts the picture quality by applying video noise reduction. The higher the level, the
more aggressively noise reduction functions are applied.
Remember that excessive noise reduction may cause a loss of detail. We recommend using the
noise reduction function only when you encounter poorly encoded or compressed video that has
apparent noise artifacts.
Select the Best Output Resolution
One of the major advantages of the UDP-205 is its ability to play Ultra High-Definition Blu-ray video and also
up-convert high-definition video and standard definition video to Ultra High-Definition. The player offers several
standard, HD and UHD video output resolutions. For best results, it is important to select an output resolution
that best matches your TV or display.
The rule of thumb when selecting an output resolution is to match the native resolution of your TV or display as
closely as possible. The native resolution is the resolution of the actual display component in the TV, such as
the OLED panel, 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 upscale or downscale
the video to fit its display component. Unfortunately, many TVs on the market only do an average job of
scaling the video and if you set the UDP-205 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. Most TVs or projectors can communicate their
native resolution to the player via the HDMI connection, so setting the Output Resolution to Auto is generally
the best choice for most customers. However in rare cases the TV or projector may not correctly present its
native resolution, or the installer may decide a certain resolution works better. The UDP-205 can be set to a
fixed Custom Resolution if so desired.
For most new displays on the market, the best output resolution will be either UHD or 1080p. A few early
model “1080p” displays did not accept a 1080p signal. For these displays, the best output resolution is 1080i.
For small screen digital TVs this will likely be 720p. For even earlier CRT tube or rear projection TVs this will
likely be 1080i. For EDTV displays (very rare if they have HDMI or DVI) this will be 480p (NTSC) or 576p
(PAL). These are general recommendations that work for most users, but there can be exceptions. Advanced
users may want to try all supported resolutions and choose the one that provides the best result visually.
The UDP-205 supports a special Source Direct mode through its HDMI outputs. This resolution is
recommended for use with external video processors or high-end TVs. In Source Direct mode, the player
SETUP MENU OPTIONS
58
works as a “transport”. It decodes video from the discs and then sends the raw video signal in its native
resolution and format, without extra processing, to the external video processor or TV. The actual output
resolution varies by content:

The UDP-205 allows the installer to choose a Custom Resolution in the Setup Menu. Customer can switch
between the Auto output resolution and the pre-selected Custom Resolution by pressing the RESOLUTION
button on the remote control.
Determine the Display Aspect Ratio
Standard Definition, or 4:3 TV Wide Screen, or 16:9 TV
The TV Aspect Ratio is the proportional ratio of a TV screen’s width and height. Older television sets
generally have a 4:3 aspect ratio – the width is 4/3 (or 1.33) times the height. Newer wide screen television
sets have a 16:9 aspect ratio – the width is 16/9 (or 1.78) times the height. Although 4:3 TVs are very rare
nowadays, program content originally formatted with a 4:3 aspect ratio is still very common. The Aspect Ratio
setting decides how this type of 4:3 program content is displayed on a 16:9 TV screen.
The Aspect Ratio selections are 16:9 Wide and 16:9 Wide/Auto. Depending on your selection and the video
format recorded on the discs, image appearance on the TV screen can be one of the following:
SETUP MENU OPTIONS

Audio Output Setup
The Audio Output Setup section of the Setup Menu allows you to configure audio output options.
1. Secondary Audio: Allows you to set the Secondary Audio Program mixing option. Some Blu-
ray Discs contain a secondary audio and video program, such as a director’s commentary.
Some Blu-ray Discs have a sound effect when you make menu choices. This Setup Menu item
allows you to decide whether to mix the Secondary Audio Program and menu sounds into the
primary audio.
• On – The Secondary Audio Program and menu sounds are mixed into the primary audio.
Usually this will cause the primary audio volume to be slightly reduced.
• Off (default) – The Secondary Audio Program and menu sounds are not mixed into the
primary audio and you cannot hear the secondary audio or menu sounds. This setting
preserves the highest possible audio quality for the primary audio.
2. HDMI Audio Format: Allows you to select the digital audio output format from the HDMI port.
The options are:
• Auto (default) – The player checks with the device connecting to the HDMI output to
automatically determine which audio format to use.
• LPCM – Digital audio output via HDMI will be in the multi-channel Linear PCM format.
When this option is selected, compressed audio bit streams will be decoded by the player.
This setting is recommended when connecting the HDMI output directly to a TV or to a
receiver without advanced audio decoding capabilities.
• Bitstream – Digital audio output via HDMI will be in bitstream format. This option is
recommended when connecting the HDMI output to an A/V receiver or processor that
supports advanced audio decoding, such as Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD and DTS:X,
DTS-HD Master Audio.
• 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
important that you choose 720p or higher HDMI output resolution when playing high
resolution audio content (DVD-Audio, SACD, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio).
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
SETUP MENU OPTIONS
60
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). If you play high resolution audio content at
the 480p/576p resolution, you may get reduced audio resolution, incomplete audio
channels, or even no audio/video output at all. Choosing a higher output resolution such as
720p or above allows enough bandwidth for all high sample rate audio channels.
3. S/PDIF Output: Allows you to set the audio format and the upper sample rate limit for
coaxial/optical (S/PDIF) digital outputs. The upper sample rate limit is used to decide whether the
player shall down-sample audio (the player does not up-sample audio to higher sample rates).
• 48k LPCM – Forces down-mixed 2-channel, linear PCM (LPCM) digital audio format, and sets
the maximum sample rate to 48kHz. This is supported by most receivers/amplifiers.
• 96k LPCM – Forces down-mixed 2-channel, linear PCM (LPCM) digital audio format and sets
the maximum sample rate to 96kHz. It can result in better audio quality but ensure the
receiver/amplifier can support it.
• 192k LPCM – Forces down-mixed 2-channel, linear PCM (LPCM) digital audio format and
sets the maximum sample rate to192kHz. It can result in better audio quality but ensure the
receiver/amplifier can support it.
• Bitstream (default) – Passes audio as compressed bit-stream format to the receiver/amplifier.
Choose this setting if your receiver/amplifier is capable of decoding Dolby Digital and/or DTS.
NOTE
• Due to copyright restrictions and bandwidth limitations, SACD audio cannot be sent through
the coaxial/optical audio output, and the high resolution audio on DVD-Audio and Blu-ray
discs will be sent out at reduced resolution. Details can be found on page 15.
4. DVD-Audio Mode: Select which portion of a DVD-Audio disc to play.
• DVD-Audio (default) – 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.
5. SACD Priority: Select which audio layer to play for SACD (Super Audio CD).
• Multi-Channel (default) – Play the high resolution multi-channel surround audio layer
• Stereo – Play the high resolution 2-channel stereo audio layer
• CD Mode – Play the CD layer of a hybrid SACD disc
6. SACD Output: Allows you to select the audio output format for SACD playback.
• Auto (default) – The player checks with the device connected to the HDMI output to
automatically determine which audio format (DSD or PCM) to use for SACD playback.
• PCM – SACD data is converted into multi-channel, high-resolution PCM data. The converted
PCM data is then output through HDMI or the internal DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) for
the analog audio output ports. If you use a receiver that supports HDMI v1.1 to listen to
SACD, please select this option. You may also want to select this option if you prefer the
sound quality of the DSD-to-PCM conversion.
SETUP MENU OPTIONS
61
• DSD – SACD Direct Stream Digital (DSD) data is output over HDMI without any conversion.
For the analog audio outputs, DSD data is converted into an analog signal directly by the
internal DAC. If you use a receiver that supports HDMI v1.2a with DSD over HDMI, or you
prefer the sound quality of straight DSD to analog, please select this option.
7. A/V Sync: Allows you to add a slight delay to the audio so it is synchronized to the video. You
may use the LEFT/RIGHT ARROW buttons on the remote to decrease/increase the audio delay.
The delay can be adjusted in 10ms steps and within the range of -100ms to +200ms. The delayed
time will be applied to all output terminals including HDMI, Coaxial, Optical, Stereo (or 7.1)
outputs.
NOTE
• The actual audio delay effect might be different for each of the output terminals due to
the different audio process algorithms and signal paths used for each output. Please
adjust this setting based on the actual output terminal in use.
• The negative adjustment values are for cancelling out the audio delay that the player
automatically applies. Depending on the video source and the time it takes to process
the video, the main decoder chip automatically applies an audio delay in order to
optimize audio video synchronization. The negative manual settings reduce the
automatic audio delay, while the positive manual settings apply additional delay. Any
negative value setting beyond the player's automatic delay will be treated as completely
cancelling the automatic delay. For example, if the A/V Sync value is manually set to -
100ms and for the current video source the player applies a 70ms automatic audio
delay, the final result is that the 70ms audio delay gets cancelled and the audio is not
delayed at all. It is not possible to put audio ahead of video using this setting.

• Down-mixed Stereo (default) – The stereo or down-mixed stereo signals are processed and
sent out from the dedicated stereo output terminals.
• Front Left/Right – The original Front Left (FL) and Front Right (FR) signals are sent out from
the dedicated stereo output terminals. The purpose is to fully utilize the better DAC hardware
originally assigned to the dedicated stereo outputs for customers who prefer multichannel
speakers and do not need the dedicated stereo output or zone 2 output. When this option is
selected, the dedicated stereo output ports should be used as the Front outputs of the 7.1ch /
5.1ch / Stereo Audio group. The original FL/FR RCA connectors should not be connected.

Speaker Configuration
In the Speaker Configuration menu you can configure speaker settings such as down-mix mode,
number of speakers, their distance, size and trim level. The Speaker Configuration menu shows an
illustration of speaker placement to assist you in properly configuring your speakers.
Upon entering this menu, the cursor is positioned on the front left speaker. You may use the
LEFT/RIGHT ARROW buttons to move the cursor. The RIGHT ARROW button moves the cursor
clockwise, and the LEFT ARROW button moves the cursor counterclockwise. When the cursor is over
the Down Mix, Test Tone or Exit options, you can also use the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons to highlight
these options.
NOTE
• Dynamic Range Control (DRC) and A/V Sync also affect the HDMI, coaxial, and
optical outputs.
• Speaker Configuration mainly applies to the multi-channel analog audio outputs.
However, when S/PDIF Output is set to LPCM in the Setup Menu, its signal becomes a
down-mixed stereo version of the multi-channel signal that is sent to the multi-channel
analog audio outputs. As a result, the LPCM signal from the coaxial and optical output is
affected by the settings in Speaker Configuration.
• HDMI is unaffected by the settings in Speaker Configuration, and the coaxial and
optical outputs are also unaffected by these settings when S/PDIF Output is set to
Bitstream.
Down Mix Mode
Downmixing is the process of converting multi-channel audio to a lesser number of channels. For
example, converting a 5.1ch source to stereo or converting a 7.1ch source to 5.1ch. Downmixing allows
the audio output from the player to match the exact number of speakers available in your home theater.
The current down mix mode is displayed in the lower right corner of the speaker placement illustration.
To change the audio down mix setting, press the ENTER button while the cursor is over the Down Mix
option. The following down mix modes are available:
SETUP MENU OPTIONS
69
• 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. This is 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 (default) – 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.
Test Tone
Test tones are artificially-created sounds that are used to test your audio speaker system and help to identify
any wiring faults. By default the Test Tone is set to Off, with the status displayed in the lower left corner of the
screen.
To begin the test, press the ARROW buttons to highlight the Test Tone option, and press the Enter button to
change the test tone status to On. Press the ARROW buttons to select a speaker, and you will hear the test
sounds. To stop the test process, press the ARROW buttons to highlight the Test Tone option and press the
Enter button to switch the status back to Off.
Please note these test tones only work with the multi-channel analog audio outputs and are only
suitable for channel identification purposes. For comprehensive speaker configuration, we recommend
using the dedicated test tones found on professional audio calibration discs.
Speaker Settings
You can set the size, distance and trim level for each speaker by using the LEFT/RIGHT ARROW
buttons to move the cursor to highlight the speaker and then press the ENTER button. The Speaker
Settings menu on the right side of the screen will be activated. In Speaker Settings, use the
UP/DOWN ARROW buttons to select a parameter, and then press the ENTER button to change it. To
exit the Speaker Settings menu and return to the Speaker Configuration illustration, press the LEFT
SETUP MENU OPTIONS
70
ARROW button or select the Exit option. You can also move on to configure the next speaker by
selecting the Next Speaker option.
The following speaker parameters can be configured:
1. Size: The following speaker size parameters control bass filtering for the speakers.
• Large – All audio content is passed to the appropriate speaker.
• Small – All audio content, except for bass frequencies, is passed to the appropriate speaker.
The purpose is to reduce possible distortion. If a subwoofer is available, bass frequencies are
re-directed to the subwoofer, otherwise, they are discarded. The bass frequency upper limit is
set by the Crossover Frequency selection in the Setup Menu (see page 66 for details).
• 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.
• On (for Subwoofer only) – Specifies that a subwoofer is available.
NOTE
• The Size for Front, Surround and Surround Back speakers is configured in pairs.
Changes to the size of one speaker will automatically change the other of the pair.
2. Distance: The speaker distance parameters set delay control for the corresponding audio channel.
The delay is to compensate for the audio propagation time difference caused by the placement of
speakers.
Speaker distance compensation is not required if the A/V receiver has the capability to adjust
channel delay and compensate for speaker distance differences. However, if your receiver does not
have such functions (most receivers do not offer these functions for their multi-channel analog
input), you may adjust them through the player. Speaker distance delay is only applied if the player
is decoding multi-channel audio. If you use bitstream audio output to your A/V receiver, the
bitstream audio is not adjusted for speaker distance delay.
A typical 7.1-channel speaker layout and their speaker distance measurements are displayed as
below:
SETUP MENU OPTIONS
71
In the above diagram, measure the distance (in feet) from the primary listening position to the Front
Left or Front Right Speaker. Enter the distance of the Front Speakers ( in the above picture) into
the Speaker Configuration menu.
Next, measure the distance (in feet) from center speaker () 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. Repeat for each speaker in the system (Center, Surround Left, Surround
Right, Surround Back Left, Surround Back Right and Subwoofer) as available. The player will insert
appropriate delay to make sure sound waves from different speakers arrive at the listener at the
same time.
It is possible to independently set distances for each speaker. Speaker distances can be set to the
actual spatial distance of the speakers.
If 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.
3. Trim: The speaker trim level parameters sets the volume of each individual channel. 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 through the player. For most accurate results, it is recommended that you
use test tones from a calibration disc, such as Digital Video Essentials HD Basics, and a SPL
(Sound Pressure Level) meter. The trim level can be set to +/- 10dB in 0.5dB increments.
NOTE
• Increasing the Trim Level above 0dB may result in distortion if the original audio level is
already high. When this occurs the waveform becomes clipped and audible distortion can
be heard. In this situation, it is necessary to reduce the Trim Level until the distortion is
removed. When using the Trim Level for speakers, it is recommended that you set the
least sensitive speaker’s Trim Level to 0dB, and set other speakers’ Trim Level to
negative values.
• Each speaker can be set to independent trim levels and there is no linked pair limitation.
SETUP MENU OPTIONS
72
Device Setup
The Device Setup section of the Setup Menu system allows you to configure additional player options related
to the hardware and control functions.
1. Firmware Information: Displays the currently installed firmware version.
2. Firmware Upgrade: Upgrades the player’s firmware. This operation is only available when the
playback is completely stopped or when there is no disc loaded.
The firmware is the system software that controls the features and functions of the player. Since the
Blu-ray Disc specifications are new and evolving, it is possible that a Blu-ray Disc manufactured
after the player was manufactured uses certain new features of the Blu-ray Disc specifications. To
ensure the best possible viewing experience, the player may need a firmware update from time to
time. Please visit the OPPO Digital web site www.oppodigital.com
to check for firmware updates
and instructions on installing the updates.
There are three ways to upgrade the player’s firmware:
• Via USB – You may download the firmware files from the OPPO Digital web site to a USB
drive and then use the USB drive to upgrade the player. Please follow the instructions on the
firmware download web page.
• Via Disc – You may request a firmware upgrade disc from OPPO Digital or download a disc
image from the OPPO Digital web site and burn an upgrade disc. Please follow the instructions
that come with the upgrade disc.
• Via Network – If the player has a working Internet connection (see pages 19 and 76), you may
upgrade the player directly over the Internet. Please follow the instructions on your TV screen.
3. Firmware Notification: Allows you to set whether the player should automatically check for new
firmware versions on the Internet server and notifies you about new firmware.
• On (default) – Checks for firmware updates automatically and notifies the user about new
firmware. Requires a working network connection.
• Off – Does not check for new firmware version automatically.
4. Remote Control Code: The UDP-205 can respond to one of four sets of remote control codes.
The default is “Code 1”. If you have other OPPO products in the vicinity of the UDP-205, the other
products may respond to the UDP-205 remote control. To prevent this, you can select a different
remote code. The available codes are:
SETUP MENU OPTIONS
73
• Code 1 (default) – OPPO disc player remote code is set to 1. This is the default remote code.
• Code 2 – OPPO disc player remote code is set to 2. Use this code if you have other OPPO
products placed close to the UDP-205.
• Code 3 – OPPO disc player remote code is set to 3. Use this code if you have other OPPO
products placed close to the UDP-205.
• Alt. Code – Alternative remote code. The alternative remote control code enables users to
program their universal remote controls that come with TV, projector or A/V receiver to operate
the OPPO 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 find a working code.
If you have selected a new remote code, you must set the remote control handset to use the same code.
If you have selected Alt. Code, the supplied handset will not operate the player, and you must use a
universal remote control with the properly configured code set.
5. IR Sensor: The UDP-205 provides two IR sensors to allow you to set the UDP-205 to receive
remote control signals from the front or the back.
• Front (default) – Enables IR sensor on the front for receiving remote control signals.
• Back – Enables IR sensor on the back for receiving remote control signals from an IR
distribution system via an IR emitter or blaster.
6. HDMI CEC: Allows you to set the HDMI Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) mode. CEC is an
optional HDMI feature that enables convenient remote control and automatic setup of consumer
electronics over the HDMI connection. The remote control function allows you to use a single
remote handset to operate multiple devices connected via HDMI. For example, you may use the TV
remote to control playback of the Blu-ray Disc player. The automatic setup function can
automatically turn on the TV and change to the proper input when you start playing a disc in the Blu-
ray Disc player. It can also turn off the player automatically when you turn off the TV. The
implementation and compatibility of this feature varies by device manufacturer. Each may only
implement part of the features or add their own proprietary functions. The manufacturer-specific
implementation of the HDMI CEC function is often given a proprietary name of “…Link” or “…Sync”.
The UDP-205 provides three HDMI CEC function modes for its HDMI Output (Main) port:
• Off (default) – HDMI CEC feature is turned off on HDMI output terminal. The player will not
respond to HDMI CEC commands from other devices, nor will it setup other devices
automatically.
• On – HDMI CEC is enabled on HDMI output. Use this mode if your other devices are
compatible with the player.
• Limited – HDMI CEC is enabled on HDMI output, but the UDP-205 will only respond to
playback control commands. It will not respond or issue power on/off and input selection
commands. Use this mode if you do not want the automatic setup function to turn on/off your
devices.
7. Standby Mode: Allows you to choose between two standby modes. In Energy Efficient mode, the
player consumes a minimal amount of power but takes more time to get ready for operation after
being turned on. In Network Standby mode, the player can be woken up over the network and may
start up faster at the expense of additional power consumption during the standby period.
• Energy Efficient (default) – The player will take slightly longer to start up, but will consume
less power in standby mode. This mode is recommended for regular use.
SETUP MENU OPTIONS

• Blu-Ray (default) – Power on with the regular Blu-ray Home Menu. This choice is
recommended for regular use.
• Last Input – Power on with the last input source. Depending on the availability of the input
device, you may experience a blank screen on the display or “No signal” warning message.
11. Front Panel Brightness: Allows you to control the display intensity of the front panel Vacuum
Fluorescent Display (VFD) information window and the Power indicator light. If 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.
• Standard (default) – The VFD window and the Power indicator light are at full brightness.
• Dim – The VFD window and the Power indicator light are at reduced brightness.
• Off – The VFD window is turned off and the Power indicator light is at dimmest brightness. In
this mode, the display and indicator light will resume momentarily if there is any user operation.
12. Persistent Storage: Allows you to manage the persistent storage for BD-Video content. The
persistent storage is a data storage area that holds additional content for BonusView and BD-Live
features. The data will be kept even if you turn off the player. The following persistent storage
management options are available:
• Storage Device – Allows you to select which storage device should be used as the persistent
storage. There are also three USB ports on the player that can accept a USB drive to be used
as the persistent storage. You may choose from the following:

RS-232 Control Protocol
The OPPO UDP-205 is equipped with an RS-232 port for wired remote control. The RS-232 port is
configured as a DCE device using a female 9-pin D-Sub type connector.
RS-232 Pin Configuration:
The pin out of the UDP-205 RS-232C port is as the following:
Pin
2
3
5
Signal
TXD
RXD
GND
This pin configuration allows a PC running a serial terminal program (such as Hyper Terminal) to
communicate with the player using a straight-through DB9 9-pin RS-232 serial cable. Do NOT use a
“Null-Modem” type cable for PC connection. For connection to a remote control system, please refer to
the documentation that comes with the remote control system.

Command Structure:
Each command starts with a # sign (ASCII 0x23), followed by a 3-character command code. If there are
any parameters for the command, the parameters are given in text format, separated by a space (ASCII
0x20) from the command code. The # character (ASCII 0x23) must never appear in the parameters. A
carriage return (ASCII 0x0d) indicates the end of the command. A line feed (ASCII 0x0a) can optionally
follow the carriage return and will be ignored. Each command generally may not exceed 25 bytes
including the start of command and end of command bytes.
The illustration of the command structure is as the followings:
<Command> = <Start of Command><Command Code>[<sp><Parameters>]<End of Command>
<Start of Command> = #, ASCII 0x23
<Command Code> = <byte><byte><byte>
<sp> = space, ASCII 0x20
<Parameters> = command-specific
<End of Command> = CR, ASCII 0x0d[LF, ASCII 0x0a]
Response Structure:
Upon receiving a command, the player shall try to execute the command and send back a response.
The response starts with an “@” sign (ASCII 0x23), followed by the original command code and a space
(ASCII 0x20), and a result code, either “OK” or “ER”. If there are any parameters or additional
message, the parameters or message is given in text format, separated by a space (ASCII 0x20) from
the result code. The @ character (ASCII 0x40) must never appear in the parameters or message. A
carriage return (ASCII 0x0d) indicates the end of response. Each response generally may not exceed
25 bytes including the start of response and the end of response bytes.
The illustration of the response structure is as the followings:
RS- 232 CONTROL PROTOCOL
86
<Response> = <Start of Response><Command Code><sp><Result Code>
[<sp><Parameters>]<End of Response>
<Start of Response> = @, ASCII 0x40
<Command Code> = <byte><byte><byte>
<Result Code> = OK|ER
<sp> = space, ASCII 0x20
<Parameters> = command-specific
<End of Response> = CR, ASCII 0x0d
Status Update Messages Structure:
If the verbose mode is set to 2 or 3, the player will send status update messages automatically. These
messages are not a response to any particular command. Any status change caused by commands
from RS232 control, front panel buttons, IR remote control, or playback progress may trigger status
update messages.
The status update messages have the following structure:
<Update> = <Start of Update><Status Code>[<sp><Parameters>]<End of Update>
<Start of Update> = @, ASCII 0x40
<Status Code> = <byte><byte><byte>
<sp> = space, ASCII 0x20
<Parameters> = status-specific
<End of Response> = CR, ASCII 0x0d
Command Sequence:
Commands are executed in the order they are received. The control client should wait for a response
from the player before sending the next command.
If the player receives a new command before executing the previous command, the player may execute
the commands in sequence or discard the previous command, depending on the internal processing of
the player. The control client should avoid sending multiple commands in sequence without waiting for a
response.
If the host does not receive a response from the player 10 seconds after the command is issued, the
host may consider the command or response lost during transmission, and can retransmit the
command.
Command List:
A. Command that maps to a remote control button
This group of commands maps directly to the infrared remote control keys. No parameters are needed
for these commands. The player handles the commands as if it receives the same IR remote
commands. For actions that require a multiple-key sequence, such as go to a certain chapter (GOT
command followed by multiple numeric key commands and the SEL command), the player responds to
each command individually until the last command is received. At that time the player shall respond
with either OK or ER depending on the result of the action.
