•4:3 Pan & Scan – Choose this when the display is standard 4:3. A widescreen image will be stretched.

•16:9 Wide – Choose this when the display is widescreen 16:9. 16:9 materials will be displayed in its native aspect ratio, and 4:3 materials will be stretched horizontally.

•16:9 Wide/Auto – Choose this when the display is widescreen 16:9. 16:9 materials will be displayed in its native aspect ratio, and 4:3 materials will be displayed with black borders on both sides in order to maintain the original 4:3 aspect ratio.

For a detailed description on how to choose a proper TV Aspect Ratio, please refer to the Determine the Display Aspect Ratio section on page 24 of this manual.

4.TV System: To choose the output video system or broadcast standard (PAL/NTSC) to match the type of TV. The options are:

•NTSC (default) – When playing NTSC-encoded discs, no system conversion is performed. PAL-encoded contents are converted to NTSC output. Blu-ray Discs encoded with 24Hz frame rate are converted to 60Hz frame rate if neither 1080p24 Output nor Source Direct output

resolution is enabled.

•PAL – When playing PAL-encoded discs, no system conversion is performed. NTSC-encoded contents are converted to PAL output. Blu-ray Discs encoded with 24Hz frame rate are converted to 50Hz frame rate if neither 1080p24 Output nor Source Direct output resolution is enabled.

•Multi-system– No system conversion is performed. The output video system is the same as that encoded on the disc. Blu-ray Discs encoded with 24Hz frame rate are converted to 60Hz frame rate if neither 1080p24 Output nor Source Direct output resolution is enabled. Requires a TV that supports both NTSC and PAL systems.

Note

Do not select “Multi-system” if your TV does not support both NTSC and PAL systems. The TV display may become a black screen upon inserting a disc encoded in a different system than your TV supports. Should this happen, you can press the OPEN button to eject the disc tray, and then use the Setup Menu to correct the “TV System” setting.

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 on page 23 of this manual.

6.1080p24 Output: To set 1080p 24Hz output options. 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 the TV properly supports 1080p 24Hz, smoother motion can be achieved by enabling 1080p24 Output for such discs. The available options are:

•Auto (default) – 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.
