The output video resolution depends on the video output terminal. See the table below.

The table below shows the output video resolution for the different terminals when the frame/field frequency of the playback source is 50 Hz on the upper line, the resolutions when the source's frame/ field frequency is 60 Hz on the lower line.

4.Sources with a resolution of 720/50p, 720/60p and 720/24p are output at 1080/ 50i or 1080/60i, even if the TV’s preferred resolution is 1080/50p or 1080/60p.

5.Depends on the NTSC on PAL TV setting (page 41).

6.DVD-Video or DVD VR format is output at 480/60p. BDs format may be output at 480/60p.

7.Depending on the connected HDMI cable, the video signals may not be output. Also, sources with a resolution of 720/50p is output at 1080/50i, and 720/60p and 720/24p are output at 1080/60i.

9.720/24p film material is output at 720/60p.

10.1080/24p film material is output at 1080/60i.

Caution

On some TVs, the picture may not be displayed properly when the resolution is switched. If this happens, use OUTPUT RESOLUTION to set to a resolution at which the picture is properly displayed.

When video signals are being output with a resolution of 1080/ 50i, 1080/50p, 720/50p, 1080/24p, 1080/60i, 1080/60p or 720/60p from the HDMI output terminal or component video output terminals, the picture may be output with an aspect ratio of 16:9, even if the TV Aspect Ratio is set to 4:3 (Standard).

The picture may not be displayed for a while when the resolution is switched.

About the frame/field frequency and NTSC/ PAL TV systems

By factory default setting, the frame/field frequency is set for an output of 50 Hz, and the video signal output from the S-VIDEOand VIDEO output terminals is set to be output in the PAL TV system format. When sources with a frame/field frequency of 60 Hz or

24 Hz are played, the output frame/field frequency automatically switches to 60 Hz (or 24 Hz for HDMI, depending on the setting), and

the TV system format for the video signal output from the S-VIDEOand VIDEO output terminals is set to NTSC on PAL TV. When playback is stopped, the frame/field frequency and TV system settings remain at the settings last used. The frame/field frequency and TV system settings do not change even when the power is turned off. They only switch when a video material with a different frame/field frequency is played.

If the picture is not displayed on the TV when a source with a different frame/field frequency is played, use the procedure below to switch the frame/field frequency and TV system settings for the signal output from the player.

Eject the disc, then press the  OPEN/CLOSE button on the front panel while pressing the  PLAY button to switch to a different frame/field frequency. The frame/field frequency switches between 50 Hz and 60 Hz each time this operation is performed. The indicator for the frame frequency’s current setting lights on the front panel display (page 12).

About Film material

The film material is a video signal with a frame rate of 24 frames/ second. For example, these materials include 1080/24p, 720/24p, etc.

To output film material

To output 1080/24p film material from the HDMI output terminal, set the output video resolution to either Auto or Source Direct.

Caution

1080/24p signals can only be output from the HDMI OUT terminal. They cannot be output from other video terminals.

When Auto is selected, the picture is output at 60 frames/ second if your TV is not compatible with 1080/24p signals.

When Source Direct is selected, the signals are output as such, even if your TV is not compatible with 1080/24p signals. If the picture is not displayed properly, use OUTPUT RESOLUTION to set to the output video resolution at which the picture is properly displayed.

720/24p video signals are output at 60 frames/second, even if the resolution is set to Auto or Source Direct.
