When HDMI cable is connected, only “480i” and the resolution selected in the “HDMI Video Resolution” will be available for the “Component Output”.

Composite video out (VIDEO OUT) can only output 480i/60.

The selected resolution must also be supported by your display device.

If your TV and the unit is connected by a DVI cable and if you select “Auto”, “480p” will be in effect automatically.

Pressing [B (PLAY)] on the front panel for 5 seconds changes the setting back to its default. (“Component Output” setting will also be reset to default (480i).)
