Method 3 – Component Video Connection to TV
• If your TV has no digital video input but has component video inputs, please use a set of component video cables to connect the
component video output of the player to the TV. The connectors are color coded, so please make sure the cable connections match on
both ends. The component video connection will produce a very clear picture with high color accuracy.
• Please use the Red/White audio cables to connect the STEREO AUDIO OUT terminals of the player to the TV. Make sure the audio cables
are connected to the same input terminal group on the TV as the chosen component video input.
• When the “Primary Output” Setup Menu item in the “Video Setup” section is set to “HDMI” (see page 53 for details), the component
video connection will not output video when playing a Blu-ray Disc with 1080p 24Hz content, or will only output video with a low
resolution (480i/576i) when playing a DVD. This is not a malfunction. You must set “Primary Output” to “Component” in order to
properly use the component video connection.
• When playing a Blu-ray Disc, video resolution over the component output can be up to 1080i. 1080p content will be interlaced into
1080i signal for the component output.
• When the “Primary Output” is set to “Component,” the output resolution “Auto” is not supported.
• Video up-conversion over the component output is only available for unencrypted discs such as home video and consumer-created
contents. Most commercially pressed DVD discs are CSSencrypted and will be limited to 480i/480p resolution. This restriction applies to
the component output only. The HDMI output is protected with HDCP and has no such restriction.
• You may connect the composite video cable to the TV for trouble-shooting purpose, just in case there is a problem with component
video. However, it is not recommended to use the composite video as the primary method of video delivery to the TV, because it only
produces a standard definition video signal and forfeits the advantage of high definition video.
