Film Mode (1080p24)

Many movies recorded on Blu-ray discs are recorded at 24 frames per second (fps). If your player is connected to the TV via HDMI, and the TV has the capability to display 24 fps, setting Film Mode to On tells your player to output content recorded at 24 fps (without converting it to 30 or 60 frames/second).
