Universal Media Transport
Quick start guide
Setup and Connections:
1. Display - If you plan to play music from DVD, BluRay, USB or Network, attach any display to the analog video output or HDMI
1.
2. Internet - If you plan to stream from the internet or want a rmware update online, plug COMPUTER LAN into any computer
network (wireless is not recommended).
3. Connect Audio - For use with an MSB DAC, use the MSB CAT-6 cable to connect MSB NETWORK OUTPUT to the MSB
NETWORK INPUT on the DAC. For other DACs, connect any of the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUTS (1 to 4) to the DAC.
4. Select MODE - This lighted toggle switch on the back is set to one of three modes:
up: Audio Mode = Best quality audio but you may have lip sync issues if you watch video sources.
middle: Movie Mode = Same as Audio Mode but DVD has reduced delay and reduced sound quality.
down: Hi-Res Video Mode = All media has reduced delay and reduced sound quality for best lip sync matching.
Disc Operations: Normally for disc operations you just put the disc in and it will start playing. Volume up/down buttons on the remote
actually control the volume of the DAC IV.
Basic File Operations: Get to know the HOME MENU button, navigation arrows and RETURN buttons on the remote. They get you
around the operation of the transport. All sources are treated basically the same, whether they are CD, USB Memory stick or Network
streaming. You select and browse the source.
Video Settings:
Feel free to browse and adjust video and HDMI settings as needed. They can be changed using the dedicated remote buttons, or changed
in the Video Setup Menu. Either way changes will be saved when the unit is put in Standby.
Audio Settings:
Any adjustment of audio processing menu settings may dramatically hurt the audio quality. The only “safe” setting is audio delay if needed.
The UMT is congured in one of three congurations when ordered. This conguration can be changed by playing a conguration le
downloaded from the MSB website or playing a conguration le supplied on a CD. The congurations are:
MSB DAC - Upsampling and Reclocking Optimized for the 32 bit, 384 kHz MSB DAC. (Default Conguration)
Non- MSB DAC up to 24 bit, 96 kHz sample rate - Upsampling and Reclocking Optimized for DACs limited to 24 bit, 96 kHz.
Non- MSB DAC up to 24 bit, 192 kHz sample rate - Upsampling and Reclocking Optimized for DACs limited to 24 bit, 192 kHz.
Factory Reset:
If all goes wrong do a reset to factory settings, SETUP: DEVICE SETUP: RESET FACTORY DEFAULTS and select ADVANCED
AUDIO mode when prompted. Then go to SETUP: and make the following changes:
1. PLAYBACK SETUP: SACD PRIORITY and select STEREO.
2. AUDIO FORMAT SETUP: HDMI AUDIO: OFF
3. AUDIO PROCESSING: SPEAKER CONFIGURATION: and set CENTER to LARGE.
Network Player:
This unit will play music from any computer or storage device on your network, but they must rst be shared. So for example you can
share your iTunes playlists. You can also share your music on a network storage device. Instructions for sharing vary depending on
your computer OS and applications.
Burn-In:
The concept of burn-in is little understood. Does it take your ears some time to get used to the incredibly detailed and life-like sound of
an MSB product or is something actually changing? The feedback we receive leads us to recommend at least 100 hours of burn-in on
this UMT. Customers generally recommend one month.
Warning: Please verify that the UMT you just purchased is covered under warranty. This UMT was sold to the Distributor named on
your box label If the country and year do not match your purchase location, your warranty may be invalid. Check with MSB.

MSB System
Although the UMT can be used with any DAC there are special features that can only be enjoyed with an MSB DAC. The big limitation
is the standard S/PDIF digital audio output format. Is is limited to 24 bits. The MSB Network which is used to connect the UMT to an
MSB DAC is limited to 32 bits, so extra resolution is provided
with the MSB DAC. This resolution comes into play with
sources like SACD and multichannel DTS and Dolby Digital
HD Blu-ray discs.
With the fantastic detail of the DAC IV, we recommend not
using an external preamp, but taking advantage of the passive
stepped attenuator option in the DAC IV. With no preamp
to muddy the signal, the amp is presented with an amazingly
detailed signal.
Also please consider one of the MSB Amps, also optimized for
the speed and accuracy of the MSB DAC.
iLInk II Upgrade for MSB DAC IV
About the only thing the UMT does not do is host an iPod.
This can be done directly with the DAC IV. This option adds
an iPod dock to the cover of the DAC IV. There are no setup
options or controls. Plug in the iPod and press play. In addition,
the square remote buttons on the DAC remote can be used to
control the iPod.
The iLink II will charge the iPod when plugged in. It works well
with all Generation 6 or later models including the classic, touch
and nano models. It also seems to work with the iPhone.
Here is the complete MSB System, available in Matt White or Satin Black. Custom colors also available.

Connections
Video Connections
The UMT has a range of applications. If your only use is the playing of audio discs, then no video connection is required. The system
setup is optimum for you and all you have to do is make the proper audio connections. If your interests is in playing music from a Hard
Disc, USB stick or from a computer network, then a video display is needed for navigation. A small computer monitor with no audio
and an HDMI or analog component video input would be ideal. If you plan to watch DVDs or Blu-Ray discs then the UMT will need to
be connected to your video display or projector. For the best results, an HDMI or DVI connection should be used although quite good
results are possible with analog component video.
Method 1 – HDMI Connection Directly to a Display
If your Display has an HDMI (High-Denition Multimedia Interface) input, you can use the
included HDMI cable to connect the player to the Display. This connection method delivers
both video and audio in a digital format via a single cable. The HDMI video output of the
player allows for the highest possible video quality and resolution. The audio is of low quality
and should NOT be used.
There are two HDMI output terminals (HDMI 1 and HDMI 2) on the rear panel of UMT, both
of which can be connected to your Display. We recommend to use HDMI 1 since it benets
from the dedicated Marvell DEO video processor, and set the “Primary Output” option in the
setup menu to “HDMI 1” (below). This output should also be set to “Video Only”.
You may connect the composite video cable to a TV for troubleshooting purposes, or if only menu navigation is desired, because it only
produces a standard denition video signal and forfeits the advantage of high denition video.
Method 2 – DVI Connection to a Display
If your display has a DVI input that supports HDCP, you can purchase an HDMI-
DVI adapter cable to connect the player to the display. This connection method
delivers digital video to the display without any signal degradation. The HDMI
video output of the UMT presents the highest possible video quality and resolution.
We recommend to use HDMI 1 since it can benet from the dedicated video
processor, and set the “Primary Output” option in the setup menu to “HDMI 1”
(please see more details below).
Method 3 – Component Video Connection to a Display
If your display has no digital video input but has component video inputs, please use a
set of component video cables to connect the component video output of the player to the
display, and remember to set the “Primary Output” option in the setup menu to “Analog”
(please see more details below). 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.
When the “Primary Output” option in the “Video Setup” section of the Setup menu is
set to “HDMI 1” or “HDMI 2”, the component video connection will not output video
when playing a Blu-ray Disc with 1080p 24Hz content, or will only output video with
a low resolution (480i/576i) when playing a DVD. This is not a malfunction. You
must set “Primary Output” to “Analog” in order to properly use the component video
connection.
When playing a Blu-ray Disc, video resolution over the component output can be up to
1080i. 1080p content will be interlaced into 1080i signal for the component output.
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.
Video Settings
Primary Output: To select the primary video output port. The options are:
• HDMI 1 – Use HDMI 1 as the primary video output port. This setting will ensure that the HDMI 1 output gets the best possible
picture quality. The dedicated QDEO DE2750 video processor will be used unless “Source Direct” for output resolution is selected,
in which case QDEO DE2750 video processor is bypassed. Component and composite video output may not be available or may be
limited to a lower resolution based on content source limitations.
• HDMI 2 – Use HDMI 2 as the primary video output port. Similar to “HDMI 1”, this setting ensures that the HDMI 2 output gets
the best possible picture quality, except that it utilizes the video decoder in the player to perform necessary video processing, not the

The MSB Network
One of the most powerful feature of the Platinum is the MSB
network. This network plugs into the MSB input of the Platinum and
is automatically detected and activated. The MSB network has the
following capability:
• Unidirectional communications over any twisted pair
• Simultaneous transmission of 8 audio channels with 32 bit
resolution at 384 kHz sampling rate
• MSB CAN Interbox communication Bus (for volume and trim
data)
• A single serial channel of 384 kbits/sec for control and system
data.
This network is our answer to 384 kHz audio transmission and
multichannel transmission in the same package. We provide network
outputs to our own transport and offer a source upgrade to your
transport as well. In our surround processor upgrade, up to 8 channels
of decoded data can be sent through one wire to separate DACs. The
twisted pair format is very convenient as it has become the standard
for all computer networks. Ethernet networks use CAT6 wire which
contains 4 twisted pairs. This one cable could be used to send 32
channels of 32 bit, 384 kHz audio data! Several cables are available
for connecting MSB transports to the Platinum including CAT6 cable
at any length up to 80 feet.
DE2750 video processor.
• Analog – Use component video as the primary video output port.
This setting will ensure that the component output is always
available and displays proper video signals. The video decoder
in the player performs any necessary format conversion, and the
DE2750 video processor is completely bypassed.
NOTE: Copyright control mechanisms encoded on the disc may limit
the output resolution of the component video output. For DVD, if
CSS encryption is in use the output resolution is limited to no more
than 480p/576p; for Blu-ray Discs, the output resolution is limited
to no more than 1080i, and could be lower if the disc contains the
Image Constraint Token.
Audio Connection
Audio on HDMI
Although the UMT will output audio over HDMI, this audio will not
benet from the MSB processing and its use is not recommended. Set
the HDMI Audio output to “OFF”. Even if the audio is not used, the
audio limitations of a display which contains audio can over-ride the
high resolution capability of the UMT so please be alert to this issue.
The easiest way to check for this problem is to play an SACD. The
output should be 32 bit, 176.4 kHz with the upsampling turned off.
Audio Ground Noise
Today we are on a new frontier of performance with new multi-
media sources loaded with electrical noise unlike anything we
ever experienced in the past. At the same time we have made great
improvements in jitter the enemy of the last decade, making ground
noise which used to be lost in the jitter, the dominant problem. And
again, grounding issues are back, making a huge difference, but now
in harshness, focus, detail and air, instead of hum.
There is no intuition, right or wrong with high frequency ground noise.
When all we had to deal with was 60 Hz AC hum, the concept was
easy to visualize. Get rid of ground loops. But now we are ghting
a new animal. We have had some idea about ground noise, but our
experience has shown just how tricky it is. It all started for me with
the question of why the sound changed when I changed my digital
cable? The DAC reclocks and all the bits arrive correctly in memory.
What is different? Ground noise. Now as we do network streaming
and have a Blu-ray player hooked up to an LCD monitor as a source,
the matrix becomes impossible to deal with anyway but the old way.
Try making changes and listen.
The Ground Lift feature of the DAC IV
This feature is the most powerful tool available for UMT setup and makes a huge difference in sound!
So we have given you all the tools to get it right. The most important is a ground lift in the DAC IV menus that disconnects the analog
part of the DAC output stage from the chassis and digital ground. The idea is to avoid ground loops and if your Amps are grounded this
connection SHOULD be lifted. If your AMPs oat, lifting this ground connection could result in the destruction of your DAC should you
accidentally discharge a lot of static to the AMP. So make sure the Amplier case is grounded before doing the ground lift.
The PRO I2S Input Board
The next tool is the interconnect. The job of the interconnect is to get the digital bits from the transport to the DAC. We want all the bits
sent without errors. All the interconnect types will do this. The standard connections are limited to 24 bits and the MSB network is 32
bits. Otherwise they all do the same job, EXCEPT were it relates to ground noise. Here we have big differences. Optical has no ground
and the balanced almost no ground. Coax has a transformer coupled ground and the MSB Network a solid ground. The network provides
the best connection in a perfect system, but rarely are systems perfect. The new PRO I2S input provides a ground isolated MSB Network
input. This is the best of all worlds and is the preferred input for the UMT. If you do not have the PRO input and you are hooked up to
video, you may well nd the optical connection best sounding. There is no ground connection at all. There is no rule. Any could sound
best in your system. You just have to try them.

8
UMT with MSB DAC
There are three versions of the rmware that run in the UMT, one for use with MSB DACs and two for use with non-MSB DACs. When
using the UMT with an MSB DAC the UMT should be connected to the PRO I2S Ground Isolated MSB Network I input on the DAC
with a MSB Network Cable. This will allow a high-resolution low-jitter connection to be made for all audio. This is the only audio
connection needed. If you have a second MSB source such as the DATA CD IV, its MSB Network can be plugged into the standard
MSB Network In on the DAC.
UMT with Non-MSB DAC (96k or 192k)
With a UMT set up for use without an MSB DAC, the highest quality digital connection should be made with the DAC that the DAC
can support. We would generally rank the connections in this order: Balanced XLR, Coaxial RCA, Optical.
Power Connection
The UMT must be connected to a 12 VDC supply with a 5 pin DIN connector. The MSB Power Base provides an output for a single
UMT. A desktop supply is also available. The UMT can be adapted to run from a 12V Battery or alternative supply. The connection
diagram is shown above.
USB and eSata Connections
A USB or eSata Storage device may be attached to either of the USB
inputs. These inputs are for reading storage devices only and should not
be attached to a computer, iPod or other USB peripheral. Appropriate
devices would include USB memory sticks and USB or eSata Hard
Drives.
eSata Cable for HDD connection
USB memory
sticks and USB
Hard Disc drives
can be attached.

Computer Network Connection
The UMT has signicant internet exploration capabilities. Currently it supports both Netix and Blockbuster for instant online media
streaming, as well as in-home network media sharing via My Network which is functionally equivalent to DLNA. Additional network
applications may be added with future rmware updates. The UMT also supports the BD-Live feature offered on some Blu-ray Disc titles.
BD-Live offers extra downloadable content and additional online interactive programs. Content available on BD-Live vary by discs and
studios, and may include additional subtitles, commentaries, movie trailers, games, or online chat. Connecting the player to the Internet
will also allow the player to obtain rmware updates via the Internet. In order to utilize the BD-Live feature or update rmware via the
Internet, the player needs to be connected to a broadband Internet connection. It is not necessary to connect to the Internet if you do not
intend to use the network streaming, BD-Live and online rmware updating functionality.
The UMT provides two network connection methods: through Ethernet cable or through the external wireless adaptor included with the
player. For the fastest and most stable network connection, we recommend using Ethernet cable whenever it is possible.
Internet connection through Ethernet cable
• Plug one end of a network cable (Category 5/5E straight Ethernet cable) into the LAN port on the back of the UMT.
• Plug the other end of the network cable into a LAN port on the broadband router or modem.
• After physically connecting the player to a broadband Internet connection, some network conguration may be required. Please refer
to the Network Setup section for details.
• Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the broadband router or modem, or contact the Internet service provider for questions
related to setting up the router or modem.
NOTE: Only connect the LAN port of the player to an Ethernet port that supports 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX. Connecting to any other
ports or jacks, such as a phone jack, can damage the player. Streaming services such as Netix and Blockbuster may require membership
and may also be limited to service in the US only.
Internet connection through Wireless USB Adaptor
The wireless adaptor included in the UMT package has been pre-congured to work with your player. It is compatible with 802.11b/g/n
2.4GHz wireless networks.
Make sure the broadband Internet connection is available and the Wi-Fi function on your wireless router or access point has been turned
on, then plug the adaptor into one of the two USB2.0 ports available on your UMT.
After the physical connection, some network conguration is required. Please refer to the Network Setup section for details.
A 6-foot USB extension cable is also included in the package. Connect it between the USB port on the player and your wireless adaptor
if needed.
Custom Installation
External IR (Infrared Remote) Installation
The UMT features an IR IN port 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 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.
Use a 3.5mm Mono Cable to make the connection.
• When an external IR sensor is plugged in, the original IR sensor window on the front panel will be disabled.
• MSB cannot guarantee that the IR IN port will be compatible with devices that are not manufactured by MSB.
• Connecting the IR IN port to an incompatible device may result in damage to the connected device or the player.
Please contact MSB customer support if you plan to integrate the player into an IR distribution system. Customer support can provide
recommendations on how to properly connect the
control signals.
RS232 Control
The UMT has an RS232 control port and can be
integrated into most custom home theater control
systems. Please ask your custom installer to contact
MSB for the RS232 control protocol.

Video Setup
The “Video Setup” section of the Setup Menu
system allows you to congure video output
options. MSB has set the video setup to what
we think are the best settings, assuming you
have a wide-screen display with HDMI inputs.
With any other display options you will need
to make the adjustments below. The menu
items in this section are:
1. Picture Adjustment: To adjust picture
control parameters. The UMT provides a wide
array of picture controls. Please refer to the
Picture Adjustment section of this manual for
details of each control.
2. Primary Output: To select the primary video
output port. The options are:
• HDMI 1 – Use HDMI 1 as the
primary video output port. This
setting will ensure that the HDMI 1
output gets the best possible picture quality. The dedicated QDEO DE2750 video processor will be used unless “Source Direct”
for output resolution is selected, in which case QDEO DE2750 video processor is bypassed. Component and composite video
output may not be available or may be limited to a lower resolution based on content source limitations.
• HDMI 2 – Use HDMI 2 as the primary video output port. Similar to “HDMI 1”, this setting ensures that the HDMI 2 output gets
the best possible picture quality, except that it utilizes the video decoder in the player to perform necessary video processing,
not the DE2750 video processor.
• Analog – Use component video as the primary video output port. This setting will ensure that the component output is always
available and displays proper video signals. The video decoder in the player performs any necessary format conversion, and the
DE2750 video processor is completely bypassed.
NOTE: Copyright control mechanisms encoded on the disc may limit the output resolution of the component video output. For DVD, if
CSS encryption is in use the output resolution is limited to no more than 480p/576p; for Blu-ray Discs, the output resolution is limited
to no more than 1080i, and could be lower if the disc contains the Image Constraint Token.
3. 3D Mode: To choose the video output mode for available 3D contents at the HDMI output ports.
The options are:
• Auto – Output 3D if supported both by 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 are qualied, the player sends 3D video from
its HDMI output terminals, otherwise only 2D video is sent out. Active shutter 3D-compatible glasses (which are not sold by
MSB) are required to enjoy the 3D movie on your TV.
• 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 some necessary part (such as the 3D glasses) is missing.
4. TV Size: To enter the diagonal screen size of your HDTV. This option applies to 3D mode, to help the player adjust the 3D image for
better visual quality. Use the number buttons on the remote control to enter the actual diagonal size of your TV screen, or use the DOWN
ARROW button to delete the digits. The default is 46 inches.
5. TV Aspect Ratio: To set the aspect ratio of the player’s output image. The options are:
• 4:3 Letterbox – Choose this when the display is standard 4:3. A widescreen image is displayed in “letterbox” format with black
borders on top and bottom.
• 4:3 Pan & Scan – Choose this when the display is standard 4:3. A widescreen image will be stretched.
• 16:9 Wide – Choose this when the display is widescreen 16:9. 16:9 materials will be displayed in its native aspect ratio, and 4:3
materials will be stretched horizontally.
• 16:9 Wide/Auto – Choose this when the display is widescreen 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 in order to maintain the original 4:3 aspect ratio.
For a detailed description on how to choose a proper TV Aspect Ratio, please refer to the Determine the Display Aspect Ratio section
of this manual.
6. TV System: To choose the output video system or broadcast standard (PAL/NTSC) to match the type of TV. The options are:

13
• NTSC (default) – When playing NTSC-encoded discs, no system conversion is performed. PAL-encoded contents are converted to
NTSC output. Blu-ray Discs encoded with 24Hz frame rate are converted to 60Hz frame rate if neither 1080p24 Output nor Source
Direct output resolution is enabled.
• PAL – When playing PAL-encoded discs, no system conversion is performed. NTSC encoded contents are converted to PAL output.
Blu-ray Discs encoded with 24Hz frame rate are converted to 50Hz frame rate if neither 1080p24 Output nor Source Direct output
resolution is enabled.
• Multi-system – No system conversion is performed. The output video system is the same as that encoded on the disc. Blu-ray Discs
encoded with 24Hz frame rate are converted to 60Hz frame rate if neither 1080p24 Output nor Source Direct output resolution is
enabled. Requires a TV that supports both NTSC and PAL systems.
NOTE: DO NOT select “Multi-system” if your TV does not support both NTSC and PAL systems. The TV display may become a black
screen upon inserting a disc encoded in a different system than your TV supports. Should this happen, you can press the OPEN button
to eject the disc tray, and then use the Setup Menu to correct the “TV System” setting.
7. Output Resolution: To choose the output resolution that best matches your television’s native resolution. For a detailed description on
how to choose a proper output resolution, please refer to the Select the Best Output Resolution section of this manual.
8. 1080p24 Output: To set 1080p 24Hz output options. This option only applies to the HDMI output at 1080p resolution. Many Blu-ray
Discs that originated from theatrical movies are encoded using 24Hz frame rate, the same number of frames per second as the original
theatrical lm. If the TV properly supports 1080p 24Hz, smoother motion can be achieved by enabling 1080p24 Output for such discs.
The available options are:
• Auto – Video encoded in 24Hz frame rate will be output as 1080p 24Hz if the TV informs the player that it can support the 1080p24
signal.
• On – Video encoded in 24Hz frame rate will be output as 1080p 24Hz without regard to whether the TV can support the 1080p24
signal or not. This is useful if the TV can actually support 1080p24 but does not properly state its capability. Please note that if the
TV cannot support 1080p24, selecting this option will result in no video.
• Off (default) – Video encoded in 24Hz frame rate will be converted to 60Hz (NTSC) or 50Hz (PAL)
9. HDMI Options: To congure video options that apply only to the HDMI output. This item contains a sub-menu with multiple conguration
options. Please refer to the HDMI Options section of this manual for details of each option.
10. Display Options: To congure the options for displaying on-screen information. The following display options are available:
• Subtitle Shift – To set the display position for subtitles. When the “Subtitle Shift” is set at 0 (default), subtitles are displayed at the
original position as specied on the disc. When it is set at a value between 1 and 5, subtitles are shifted up. When it is set at a value
between -1 and -5, subtitles are shifted down. This feature is helpful for customers using a 2.35:1 “Constant Image Height” video
projection system. Subtitles can be shifted to the active video area so they do not get cut off.
• OSD Position – To set the display position for the on-screen display (OSD). When the “OSD Position” is set at 0, the OSD is shown
at the top and bottom of the video screen. When it is set at a value between 1 and 5, the OSD is shifted towards the center of the
video screen. Similar to the subtitle shift setting above, the “OSD Position” feature is helpful for customers using a 2.35:1 “Constant
Image Height” video projection system.
• 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 for a few seconds and then disappears. The front panel display
still maintains the selected display information.
• Remaining – On-screen display information stays on the TV screen until the user cancels it. By default displays remaining time
instead of elapsed time.
• Angle Mark (on/off) – To turn on/off the display of an angle mark when a DVD or Blu-ray Disc with multiple available angles is
played. Keeping the angle mark off avoids distraction from normal movie watching.
• PIP Mark (on/off) – To turn on/off the display of a Picture-in-Picture mark when a Blu-ray Disc with secondary video is played.
Keeping the PIP mark off avoids distraction from normal movie watching.
• SAP Mark (on/off) – To turn on/off the display of a Secondary Audio Program mark when a Blu-ray Disc with secondary video and
audio is played. Keeping the SAP mark off avoids distraction from normal movie watching.
• Screen Saver – To turn on/off the screen saver function. The screen saver is designed to minimize burn-in concerns for plasma and
CRT display devices. The available options are:
• On – After about 3 minutes of inactivity, the player will show an animated OPPO logo moving on a black background. This allows
most areas of the screen to rest and gives all areas an equal opportunity to refresh.

14
• Off – The screen saver will not be activated. Use this option if your TV does not have a burn-in issue.
• Energy Saver – Video output will be turned off after 3 minutes of inactivity. Many projectors and LCD TVs will go into a standby
or sleep mode and turn off their projection lamp or LCD backlight lamp, thus saving energy and prolonging the lamp life. When
you press any button on the UMT remote control or the player’s front panel, the screen saver will be canceled 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.

Reset Factory Settings - Easy Setup Wizard
Access the Easy Setup Wizard
The UMT is delivered with the optimum audio settings. You may need to adjust the settings for your video display. If all else fails, you
may reset the UMT to the original settings.
To start the Easy Setup Wizard, please follow these
steps:
1) Turn on the Display.
2) Turn on the player.
3) Switch the input selection on your TV so that the
TV displays the signal from the player. You will see
the background screen with the Blu-Ray Disc logos.
To access Easy Setup Wizard, please press the SETUP
button on the remote control, select Device Setup, then
Reset Factory Default. Select “OK” to conrm loading
the factory default settings. Once the factory default
settings are loaded the Easy Setup Wizard will appear.
The rst step of the Easy Setup Wizard allows you to
skip the entire wizard. If you are familiar with setting up
audio/video equipment and would like to customize the
player settings using its Setup Menu, you may use the
LEFT/RIGHT ARROW buttons to select the “Cancel”
option, then press the ENTER key to exit the Easy Setup
Wizard. Otherwise, to continue with the Easy Setup Wizard, select the “OK” option and press the ENTER key.
Choose the Primary Video Output
The player can output video through its HDMI and
component output terminals. (Composite video output
is also available but not recommended.) By setting the
“Primary Video Output” option, the player can optimize
video output of the selected terminal. The choices are
“HDMI 1”, “HDMI 2” and “Analog”. If you connect
the player to the TV using an HDMI cable, please select
“HDMI 1”. If you connect the player to the TV using
component video cables, please select “Analog”.
Please note: The best performance will be provided over
the HDMI connection. Between the two HDMI outputs,
HDMI 1 should be given priority for use since it benets
from the superior Marvell QDEO video processing
solution.
To make your selection, use the UP/DOWN ARROW
buttons to highlight the choice, and then press the
ENTER button to go to the next step.
Select the Best Output
Resolution
One of the major advantages of the MSB UMT is its ability to play high-denition Blu-Ray video and also up-convert standard denition
video stored on DVD discs to high denition. The sophisticated video processor inside the player ensures that the video will have the best
possible color, detail and motion. The player offers several standard and high denition video output resolutions. To get the best visual
result, it is important to select an output resolution that best 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 downscale the video to t 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 MSB UMT 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. (A few early model
1080p displays do not accept 1080p signal. For these displays the best output resolution to use is 1080i.) For all other digital televisions
this will likely be 720p. For CRT tube or rear projection televisions 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

16
exceptions. Advanced users may want to try all supported resolutions and choose the one that provides the best visual result.
The MSB UMT supports a special “Source Direct” output resolution on its HDMI output. This resolution is recommended for use with
external video processors or high-end TVs. In “Source Direct” mode, the player 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:
Content Source Direct Output Resolution
NTSC DVD 480i
PAL DVD 576i
Most Blu-ray Movies (lm-source) 1080p 23.976 or 1080p 24Hz
Most Blu-ray TV shows or Concerts (video-source) 1080i
SACD and DVD-Audio 1080i
Depending on your selection of “Primary Video Output”, the
available output resolution selections will differ. For the HDMI
1 and HDMI 2 output, the following output resolutions are
available: Auto, 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p/576p, 480i/576i, and
Source Direct. If “Auto” is selected, the player will determine its
output resolution based on the best signal resolution that the TV
can display.
For the Analog (component) output, the following output
resolutions are available: 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p/576p and
480i/576i. Please note 1080p only applies to HDMI output, if it
is selected for component video outputs, it will automatically be
down-scaled to 1080i. Please refer to the specications of your
TV to nd the best resolution to use.
Press the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons to select the desired output
resolution, then press the ENTER button. The player will apply
the selected output resolution and ask you to conrm the selection.
If your TV supports the selected resolution, you will see a dialog
box with a count-down clock. Use the LEFT ARROW button to
highlight the “OK” option and press the ENTER button to save
the resolution setting. If your TV does not support the selected
resolution, you may see a black screen or an error message. In this
case please wait for 15 seconds and the Easy Setup screen will
reappear. Select a different resolution that your TV can support.
Determine the Display Aspect Ratio
If you have a 4:3 or standard denition screen, select one of these
options:
• 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).
• 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).
If you have a widescreen (16:9) display, 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 horizontally
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 left and right sides to maintain the correct 4:3 aspect
ratio (preferred).
Press the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons to select the proper aspect
ratio for your TV, then press the ENTER button.

Select the Audio Setting
The Blu-ray Disc format brings not only high resolution video,
but also high bit rate audio such as Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby
TrueHD, DTS-HD High Resolution and DTS-HD Master Audio.
Blu-ray Discs may also include additional audio features such
as menu click sound and Secondary Audio Program (SAP –
audio associated with the secondary video in Picture-in-Picture
mode). For the UMT, the “Advanced” setting should always be
selected.
Press the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons to select “Advanced” and
then press the ENTER button. You will also need to customize
the audio settings using the player’s Setup Menu. This is covered
next.
Complete the Easy Setup Wizard
Once you have selected the audio setting, the initial Easy Setup
Wizard is completed.
Press the ENTER button to close the Easy Setup Wizard. You now need to go into the setup and change additional settings.
Additional Important Settings
In order for the UMT to perform at the highest quality, the default settings need to be changed. Go into the setup by pressing “Setup” on
the remote. Once in the setup, change the following settings.
1. PLAYBACK SETUP: SACD PRIORITY and select STEREO.
2. AUDIO FORMAT SETUP: HDMI AUDIO: OFF
3. AUDIO PROCESSING: SPEAKER CONFIGURATION: and set CENTER to LARGE.
4. VIDEO SETUP: DISPLAY OPTIONS: SCREEN SAVER: ENERGY SAVER (we like this mode as it turns the video display off
after a few minutes of inaction but it is your choice).
Your setup is now complete! Enjoy your MSB Universal Media Transport.
