MEDIA FILE PLAYBACK
In addition to playing standard disc-based formats such as Blu-ray Disc, DVD, CD and SACD, the
OPPO BDP-95 Blu-ray Disc Player can play media files. You can enjoy digital music, movies and
photos stored on an optical disc (recordable CD or DVD), a USB (Universal Serial Bus) drive, or an e-
SATA (external Serial ATA) drive. Due to the variation of media, encoding software and techniques
used, compatibility cannot be guaranteed for all user-created or downloaded contents. Support for such
contents is on a best effort basis.

The OPPO BDP-95 Blu-ray Disc Player is equipped with two USB ports (one on the front panel and the other
on the back) and one e-SATA port on the back. You may use the USB port to plug in a USB drive, or the e-
SATA port to plug in an e-SATA 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 requirement, or use an external power supply.
For the e-SATA port, you need to use an e-SATA drive with an external power supply.
The e-SATA port on the BDP-95 does NOT support “hot-plug”. To avoid any damage to your drive and the
port, please always plug in or unplug the drive when the player is turned off.

class. Other USB devices such as MP3 players, digital cameras, and mobile phones
may not be compatible.

responding. If this occurs simply turn off the power, remove the USB device, and turn the
player back on.

data corruption, it is recommended that you only unplug the USB device when playback
is completely stopped.

DO NOT attempt to plug in a USB connector to the e-SATA port, or plug in an e-SATA
connector to the USB port(s). This might damage both your drive and the port(s).
