Changing the output video resolution
Use the OUTPUT RESOLUTION button located on both the front
panel and the remote control to switch the output video resolution
for the HDMI and component video outputs.
The table below shows the output settings.
Note
• Depending on your display, some of the settings may result in
the picture disappearing. In this case, press
OUTPUT RESOLUTION repeatedly until the picture re-appears.
• 720/50p, 1080/50i, 1080/50p, 1080/60p and 1080/24p output is
only compatible with HDMI displays. They are not compatible
with the component video output.
• When output video resolution is set to 720p, 1080i or 1080p,
video is output in 16:9 format even if TV Aspect Ratio (page 39)
is set to 4:3 (Standard).
• If the contours of the displayed subjects look jagged or blurred,
try setting the output video resolution to 576i/480i. (If you
connected this player to your TV with the HDMI connection and
the picture disappears when you switch the output video
resolution to
576i/480i, use the component connection with the
576i/480i output video resolution or S-Video, the standard
composite connection instead.)
• Note that when using a Component Video connection with a TV
or other AV component (not using HDMI), 480/60i video may be
output in 480/60p, and 576/50i video may be output in 576/50p.
24p output
For smooth presentation of 1080/24p or 720/24p video with an
HDMI-equipped display compatible with 1080/24p input, set
24p Direct Out (page 39) on this player to On.
This player will output 1080/24p video over HDMI in the following
cases:
• 1080/24p video: When the output video resolution is set to Auto
or Source Direct.
• 720/24p video: When the output video resolution is set to Auto.
Note
• Even when 24p Direct Out is set to On, if a TV not compatible
with 1080/24p video is connected, the actual frame frequency of
the video output will be 60 Hz.
• The video output will be interrupted when switching the video
output from 1080/24p or 720/24p to other output video
resolutions, or when switching to 1080/24p or 720/24p from
other output video resolutions.
Connecting using an S-Video output
You can use the S-Video output instead of the VIDEO OUT jack to
connect this player to your TV (or other equipment).
• Use an S-Video cable (not supplied) to connect the S-VIDEO
OUT to an S-Video input on your TV, monitor or AV receiver.
Line up the small triangle above the jack with the same mark on the
plug before plugging in.
