*Why HDMI connection is most recommended?
HD DVD and DVD video disc creators have the option to include copy protection instructions in their discs that prohibit
the output of some standard video or high definition video (original 720p, 1080i or 1080p or up-converted 480i or 480p)
from the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks. If such instructions are present in the disc you are playing, you must
use the HDMI OUT jack to view the disc in a high definition format and the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks, if
activated, will output video only in 480i or 480p resolution.
Check the type of video input on your TV. To view high definition content, use the
HDMI OUT jack or the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks to connect to a TV.
Some discs may require use of the HDMI OUT jack.
Set the MODE switch according to your connection.
