When selecting the VIDEO OUTPUT• You can select the resolution of video signals to be output from the HDMI OUTPUT connector depending on the TV connected
to this unit. (For details on the resolution compatible with your TV, refer to the operating instructions of that.)
• When the HDMI OUTPUT connector is connected to an HDMI-compatible TV, the TV reports to this unit what resolutions it
supports. Therefore, if you select AUTO WITH HDMI, this unit outputs the video signals of the highest resolution acceptable for
your TV.
Notes:
• To output the signals from the HDMI OUTPUT connector, you should set the HDMI OUTPUT to ON. (Refer to “When selecting
the HDMI OUTPUT” on page 33.)
• Some TVs may not report their resolution information. In this case, if you select AUTO WITH HDMI, the video signals of 480p
(or 576p) will be automatically output.
• If the picture is not clear or natural, select the resolution to suit your TV.
When selecting the SCAN TYPE• The COMPONENT VIDEOOUTPUTs of this unit can be capable of outputting either conventional interlaced video signal or
progressively scanned video signal (that can reproduce high-density pictures with less flicker).
• When the COMPONENTVIDEO OUTPUTs of this unit are connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUTs of TV or projector,
etc., depending on whether the video signal system of your TV or projector, etc. supports the conventional interlacing (simply called
interlaced) video signals or the progressively scanned (simply called progressive) video signals (that can reproduce high-density
pictures with less flicker), you should select the corresponding video signal.
Note:
• When the progressive video signals are input into the non-progressive COMPONENTVIDEO INPUTs of your TV, etc., the picture
may not be shown normally.
Therefore, when the progressive COMPONENT VIDEO INPUTs of TV is not connected to, you should select INTERLACED.
When selecting the TV DISPLAY • When you connect a normal TV with 4:3 aspect ratio to the unit, select either “4:3 LETTERBOX” or “4:3 PAN-SCAN” and when you
connect a wide TV with 16:9 aspect ratio, select “16:9 WIDE”.
When selecting the TV SYSTEM• Depending on the countries, this unit conforms to either the NTSC color system for U.S.A, Canada, etc., or the PAL for Europe,
Australia, China, etc.
If the color system of this unit is different from that of your TV monitor and the discs to be played, the screen may be somewhat
hard to see or the picture quality may be poor.
Only in this case, change the video signal format to another.
(For details about the video signal format of your TV monitor or the discs, refer to the operating instruction of your TV or disc’s
jacket.)
• You can select the desired video signal format with pressing the NTSC/PAL button, too.
