Note

•In case you are not able to get a picture using the HDMI or 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 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:
