1.Refer to 24p output below for conditions.

2.The video output will be interrupted when switching the video output.

3.For resolutions that cannot be output by component output, video is output in the following resolutions:

PAL: 576/50i

NTSC: 480/60i

4.Video output is 480i during copy protected DVD-Video playback.

5.Video output during BD-ROM playback is 576i/480i depending on the disc.

6.The frame frequency for 1080/24p is still 60 Hz.

Note

Depending on your display, some of the settings may result in the picture disappearing. In this case, press

OUTPUT RESOLUTION repeatedly until the picture re-appears.

720/50p, 1080/50i, 1080/50p, 1080/60p and 1080/24p output is only compatible with HDMI displays. They are not compatible with the component video output.

When output video resolution is set to 720p, 1080i or 1080p, video is output in 16:9 format even if TV Aspect Ratio (page 39) is set to 4:3 (Standard).

If the contours of the displayed subjects look jagged or blurred, try setting the output video resolution to 576i/480i. (If you connected this player to your TV with the HDMI connection and the picture disappears when you switch the output video resolution to 576i/480i, use the component connection with the 576i/480i output video resolution or S-Video, the standard composite connection instead.)

Note that when using a Component Video connection with a TV or other AV component (not using HDMI), 480/60i video may be output in 480/60p, and 576/50i video may be output in 576/50p.

24p output

For smooth presentation of 1080/24p or 720/24p video with an HDMI-equipped display compatible with 1080/24p input, set 24p Direct Out (page 39) on this player to On.

This player will output 1080/24p video over HDMI in the following cases:

1080/24p video: When the output video resolution is set to Auto or Source Direct.

720/24p video: When the output video resolution is set to Auto.

Note

Even when 24p Direct Out is set to On, if a TV not compatible with 1080/24p video is connected, the actual frame frequency of the video output will be 60 Hz.

The video output will be interrupted when switching the video output from 1080/24p or 720/24p to other output video resolutions, or when switching to 1080/24p or 720/24p from other output video resolutions.

Connecting using an S-Video output

You can use the S-Video output instead of the VIDEO OUT jack to connect this player to your TV (or other equipment).

Use an S-Video cable (not supplied) to connect the S-VIDEO OUT to an S-Video input on your TV, monitor or AV receiver. Line up the small triangle above the jack with the same mark on the plug before plugging in.
