Method 3 – Component Video Connection to TV
• If your TV has no di gital video input but has component video inputs, please use a set of
component video cables to connect the component video output of the player to the TV, and
remember to set the “Primary Output” option in the setup menu to “Analo g” (please see more
details on page 52). The connectors are color coded, so please make sure the cable
connections match on both ends. The component video connection will produce a very clear
picture with high color accuracy.
• Please use the Red /White audio cables to connect the FL (Front Left) and FR (Front Right)
terminals on the rear panel of the player to the TV. Make sure the audio cables are connected
to the same input terminal group on the TV as the chosen component video input.
• When the “Primary Output” option in the “Video Setup” section of the Setup menu is set to
“HDMI 1” or “HDMI 2” (see page 52 for details), the component video connection will not output
video when playing a Blu-ray Disc with 1080p 24Hz content, or will only output video with a low
resolution (480i/576i) when playing a DVD. This is not a malfunction. You must set “Primary
Output” to “Analog” in order to properly use the component video connection.
• When playing a Blu- ray Disc, video resolution over the component output can be up to 1080i.
1080p content will be interlaced into 1080i signal for the component output.
• Video up-conversion over the component output is only available for unencrypted discs such as
home video and consumer-created contents. Most commercially pressed DVD discs are CSS-
encrypted and will be limited to 480i/480p resolution. This restriction applies to the component
output only. The HDMI output is protected with HDCP and has no such restriction.
• You may connec t the composite video cable to the TV for trouble-shooting purpose, please
refer to page 10 for more details.
