Press the A and V buttons to select the desired output resolution, then press the SELECT button. The
player will apply the selected output resolution and ask you to confirm the selection. If your TV supports
the selected resolution, you will see a dialog box with a count-down clock. Use the < button to highlight
the “OK” option and press the SELECT 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.
NOTE
If you cannot get a picture using the HDMI or Analog (component) output, please connect the
player to the TV using the composite video output, and then use the Setup Menu to adjust the
player settings.
Video up-conversion over the Analog (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.
Determine the Display Aspect Ratio
Standard Definition, or 4:3 TV Wide screen, or 16:9 TV
The aspect ratio is the proportional ratio of a TV screen’s width and height. Older television sets generally
have a 4:3 aspect ratio – the width is 4/3 (or 1.33) times the height. Newer wide screen television sets
have a 16:9 aspect ratio – the width is 16/9 (or 1.78) times the height. For best performance, the video
output of your player needs to match the screen aspect ratio of your TV. Since almost all Blu-ray Discs and
many DVD discs are released in the wide screen format, it is highly recommended that you use a wide
screen TV with the player.
The Aspect Ratio selections are 4:3 Letterbox, 4:3 Pan & Scan, 16:9 Wide and 16:9 Wide/Auto. Depending
on your selection and the video format recorded on the discs, image appearance on the TV screen can be
one of the following:
