For both HDMI outputs, the following output resolutions are available: 4Kx2K, Auto, 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p/576p, 480i/576i, and Source Direct. If Auto is selected, the player will determine the output resolution based on the best signal resolution that the TV can display.

To change the output resolution, press the RESOLUTION button on the remote to bring the Resolution Menu, then press the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons to highlight the desired one, and press the ENTER button to confirm and return. If your TV does not support the selected resolution, you may see a black screen or an error message. In this case, try a different resolution that your TV can support.

Determine the Display Aspect Ratio

Standard Definition, or 4:3 TV

Wide screen, or 16:9 TV

The TV 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 most Blu-ray discs and many DVD discs are released in the wide screen format, it is highly recommended to use a wide screen TV with the BDP-103.

The Aspect Ratio selections are 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:

TV Screen Appearance

Original Content

16:9

Wide

Wide/Auto

4:3

 

16:9

 

If you have a widescreen (16:9) display, select one of these options:

ξ16:9 Wide – 16:9 (widescreen) sources will be displayed in their native aspect ratio, and 4:3 sources will be horizontally stretched.

ξ16:9 Wide/Auto – 16:9 (widescreen) as well as 4:3 sources will be displayed in their native aspect ratio. Please note that in this mode, 4:3 sources will be displayed with black borders on both left and right sides to maintain the correct 4:3 aspect ratio.
