Custom Installation
External IR (Infrared Remote) Installation
The OPPO BDP-83 Blu-Ray Disc Player features IR IN and IR OUT ports on its back panel. If the 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 BDP-83 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 BDP-83 using a 3.5mm stereo cable.

to the connected device or the player.
