The output video resolution depends on the video output terminal.
See the table below.
The table below shows the output video resolution for the different
terminals when the frame/field frequency of the playback source is
50 Hz on the upper line, the resolutions when the source's frame/
field frequency is 60 Hz on the lower line.
Caution
• On some TVs, the picture may not be displayed properly when
the resolution is switched. If this happens, use
OUTPUT
RESOLUTION to set to a resolution at which the picture is
properly displayed.
• When video signals are being output with a resolution of 1080/
50i, 1080/50p, 720/50p, 1080/24p, 1080/60i, 1080/60p or 720/60p
from the HDMI output terminal or component video output
terminals, the picture may be output with an aspect ratio of 16:9,
even if the
TV Aspect Ratio is set to 4:3 (Standard).
• The picture may not be displayed for a while when the resolution
is switched.
About the frame/field frequency and NTSC/
PAL TV systems
By factory default setting, the frame/field frequency is set for an
output of 50 Hz, and the video signal output from the
S-VIDEO and
VIDEO output terminals is set to be output in the PAL TV system
format. When sources with a frame/field frequency of 60 Hz or
24 Hz are played, the output frame/field frequency automatically
switches to 60 Hz (or 24 Hz for HDMI, depending on the setting), and
the TV system format for the video signal output from the
S-VIDEO
and
VIDEO output terminals is set to NTSC on PAL TV. When
playback is stopped, the frame/field frequency and TV system
settings remain at the settings last used. The frame/field frequency
and TV system settings do not change even when the power is
turned off. They only switch when a video material with a different
frame/field frequency is played.
If the picture is not displayed on the TV when a source with a
different frame/field frequency is played, use the procedure below to
switch the frame/field frequency and TV system settings for the
signal output from the player.
Eject the disc, then press the
OPEN/CLOSE button on the front
panel while pressing the
button to switch to a different frame/field
frequency. The frame/field frequency switches between 50 Hz and
60 Hz each time this operation is performed. The indicator for the
frame frequency’s current setting lights on the front panel display
(page 13).
About Film material
The film material is a video signal with a frame rate of 24 frames/
second. For example, these materials include 1080/24p, 720/24p,
etc.
To output film material
To output 1080/24p film material from the HDMI output terminal, set
the output video resolution to either
Auto or Source Direct.
Caution
• 1080/24p signals can only be output from the
HDMI OUT
terminal. They cannot be output from other video terminals.
• When
Auto is selected, the picture is output at 60 frames/
second if your TV is not compatible with 1080/24p signals.
• When
Source Direct is selected, the signals are output as such,
even if your TV is not compatible with 1080/24p signals. If the
picture is not displayed properly, use
OUTPUT RESOLUTION to
set to the output video resolution at which the picture is properly
displayed.
• 720/24p video signals are output at 60 frames/second, even if
the resolution is set to
Auto or Source Direct.
