Resolution

Since HDMI has the capacity to support many different high-definition video formats, you may want to change the resolution depending on the monitor you’re using. The options that appear will depend on the video format of the current disc (NTSC or PAL).

•VGA – 640x480 pixel progressive-scan video (NTSC only)

•720 x 480 P (NTSC)/ 720 x 576 P (PAL) – 720x480/576 pixel progressive-scan video

•720 x 480 I (NTSC)/ 720 x 576 I (PAL) – 720x480/576 pixel interlace video

•1280 x 720 P – 1280x720 pixel progres- sive-scan video

•1920 x 1080 I – 1920x1080 pixel interlace video

•When the resolution is changed, a confirmation message appears on the screen. Press ENTER to confirm. Note that this may take some time.

•If the screen goes blank after changing the resolution, it means the you selected a resolution incompatible with your monitor. Press and hold the (number) 0 button for 5 seconds to return to the auto resolution setting.

Aspect Ratio

Select an aspect ratio according to the kind of display you have, and how you want to see the image on-screen. Refer to the table below to match the HDMI resolution you chose in Resolution above to the disc type you’re using and the setting on your monitor. See also Screen sizes and disc formats on page 81.

•4:3 (Pan&Scan) – Widescreen discs are shown with the left and right sides cropped.

either side of the screen.

•The monitor settings listed in the table may be different from your monitor’s settings.

Colour

This setting determines the video output colour format. Depending on the connected equipment, some HDMI Colour settings may cause the picture to be displayed incorrectly. In this case, use the TV’s own video input settings to select RGB, if possible. Alternatively, revert to the previous HDMI Colour setting.

•Full Range RGB – Gives brighter colours and deeper black. Use if colours are weak. (This is the standard setting for HDMI- compatible DVI devices, but it is also effective with HDMI devices.)
