Selecting the priority video output when

connecting HDMI and Component video

When you connect both an HDMI cable and a
component cable to this player, you need to select
the priority video output in “Settings” – “Audio Video
Settings” – “Video Out Select”. (See page 38.)
NOTE
When you connect the player to a SHARP TV with an
HDMI cable only and the TV is turned on, the video output
switches to HDMI automatically. (The above setting is
unnecessary.)
When you connect the player to a TV with an HDMI cable,
“HDMI Video Out” is set to “Auto”. If you don’t get a stable
image, select the desired resolution*.
When you set “HDMI Video Out” to a setting other than
“Auto”, you can only select resolutions* that are compatible
with the connected TV.
Refer to “HDMI Video Out” on page 38 regarding the
resolutions of the HDMI video output.
