Connecting using the component video output

You can use the component video output instead of the standard

video out jack to connect this player to your TV (or other equipment).

• Use a component video cable (not supplied) to connect the

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to a component video input on

your TV, monitor or AV receiver.

Be careful to match up the colours of the three jacks for correct

connection.

Changing the output video resolution

Use the OUTPUT RESOLUTION button located on both the front

panel and the remote control to switch the output video resolution

for the HDMI and component video outputs.

The table below shows the output settings.

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

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

*3 Refer to 24p output below for conditions.

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

*5 The video output will be interrupted when switching the video output.

*6 For resolutions that cannot be output by component output, video is output in the

following resolutions:

PAL: 576/50i

NTSC: 480/60i

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 forma t even i f TV Aspect Ratio is set to 4:3

(Standard). See TV Aspect Ratio on page 39.

• 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 on this player to On (see page 39).

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 Direc t 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
