Select the best output resolution

 

ENGLISH

For the latest generation of 1080p,"Full HD" or "True HD" TV displays, the

best output resolution will naturally be 1080p. For all other digital

 

televisions this will likely be 720p or 1080i. These are general

 

 

recommendations that work for most users, but there can be exceptions.

 

Advanced users may want to try all supported resolutions and choose the

 

one that provides the best visual result.

 

 

The 651/751BD supports a special "Source Direct" output resolution on

 

its HDMI output. This resolution is recommended for use with external

 

video processors or high-end TVs with high quality scalers. In

"Source

 

Direct" mode, the player works as a"transport". It decodes video from the

 

discs and then sends the raw video signal in its native resolution and

 

format, without extra processing, to the external video processor or TV.

 

The actual output resolution thus varies by content:

Auto, 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p/576p, 480i/576i, and Source Direct. If "Auto" is selected, the player will determine its output resolution based on the best signal resolution that the TV can display.

For the Analog (component) output, the following output resolutions are available: 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p/576p and 480i/576i.

Note: 1080p only applies to HDMI output, if it is selected for component video outputs, it will automatically be down-scaled to 1080i. Please refer to the specifications of your TV to find the best resolution to use.
