5. Output Resolution

To choose the output resolution that best matches your television’s native resolution. For a detailed description on how to choose a proper output resolution, please refer to the "Select the Best Output Resolution" section of this manual.

6. 1080p24 Output

This option only applies to the HDMI output at 1080p resolution. Many Blu-ray discs that originated from theatrical movies are encoded using 24Hz frame rate, the same number of frames per second as the original theatrical ﬁlm. If your TV properly supports 1080p 24Hz, smoother motion can be achieved by enabling 1080p24 output for such discs. The available options are:

Auto – Video encoded in 24Hz frame rate will be output as 1080p 24Hz if the TV informs the player that it can support the 1080p24 signal.

On – Video encoded in 24Hz frame rate will be output as 1080p 24Hz without regard to whether the TV can support the 1080p24 signal or not. This is useful if the TV can actually support 1080p24 but does not properly state its capability. Please note that if the TV cannot support 1080p24, selecting this option will result in no video.

Off (default) – Video encoded in 24Hz frame rate will be converted to 50Hz (PAL) or 60Hz (NTSC)

7. HDMI Options

To conﬁgure video options that are unique to the HDMI output. This item contains a sub-menu with the following settings:

Colour Space – To select the colour space for the HDMI output. The available options are:

Auto (Recommended) – The player checks with the display device to automatically determine what colour space to use. If the display device supports YCbCr 4:4:4, then it will be used to avoid extra colour space conversion.

RGB Video Level – The HDMI output uses RGB colour space and normal signal range suitable for video displays. Video signal level below reference black or above reference white in the original content is preserved without clipping or alteration.

YCbCr 4:4:4 – The HDMI output uses YCbCr 4:4:4 colour space.

YCbCr 4:2:2 – The HDMI output uses YCbCr 4:2:2 colour space. Generally this is the colour space that is closest to the colour space encoded on the discs. (All discs are encoded in YCbCr 4:2:0 colour space, and the video decoder decodes it into YCbCr 4:2:2.)

8. Screen Saver

To turn on/off the screen saver function. The screen saver is designed to minimize burn-in concerns for plasma and CRT display devices. The available options are:

On – After about 3 minutes of inactivity, the player will show an animated Cambridge Audio logo moving on a black background. This allows most areas of the screen to rest and gives all areas an equal opportunity to refresh.

Off – The screen saver will not be activated. Use this option if your TV does not have a burn-in issue.

Energy Saver – Video output will be turned off after 3 minutes of inactivity. Many projectors and LCD TVs will go into a standby or sleep mode and turn off their projection lamp or LCD backlight lamp, thus saving energy and prolonging the lamp life. When you press any button on the remote control or the player’s front panel, the screen saver will be cancelled and video output will be restored. If your TV is already in standby or sleep mode, you may need to wake up the TV by pressing a button on its remote or control panel.
