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 OUT 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).

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 14).
