player performs any necessary format conversion. The VRS
video processor is completely bypassed when using the
component output.
Note
Copyright control mechanisms encoded on the disc may limit the
output resolution of the component video output. For DVD, if CSS
encryption is in use, the output resolution is limited to no more than
480p/576p; for Blu-ray Discs, the output resolution is limited to no
more than 1080i, and could be lower if the disc contains the Image
Constraint Token.
3. TV Aspect Ratio: To set the aspect ratio of the player’s output
image. The options are :
• 4:3 Letterbox – Choose this when the display is standard
4:3. A widescreen image is displayed in “letterbox” format
with black borders on top and bottom.
• 4:3 Pan & Scan – Choose this when the display is standard
4:3. A widescreen image will be stretched.
• 16:9 Wide – Choose this when the display is widescreen
16:9. 16:9 materials will be displayed in its native aspect
ratio, and 4:3 materials will be stretched horizontally.
• 16:9 Wide/Auto – Choose this when the display is
widescreen 16:9. 16:9 materials will be displayed in its
native aspect ratio, and 4:3 materials will be displayed
with black borders on both sides in order to maintain the
original 4:3 aspect ratio.
For a detailed description on how to choose a proper TV
Aspect Ratio, please refer to the Determine the Display Aspect
Ratio section on page 24 of this manual.
4. TV System: To choose the output video system or broadcast
standard (PAL/NTSC) to match the type of TV. The options are:
• NTSC (default) – When playing NTSC-encoded discs, no
system conversion is performed. PAL-encoded contents
are converted to NTSC output. Blu-ray Discs encoded
with 24Hz frame rate are converted to 60Hz frame rate
if neither 1080p24 Output nor Source Direct output
resolution is enabled.
• PAL – When playing PAL-encoded discs, no system
conversion is performed. NTSC-encoded contents are
converted to PAL output. Blu-ray Discs encoded with 24Hz
frame rate are converted to 50Hz frame rate if neither
1080p24 Output nor Source Direct output resolution is
enabled.
• Multi-system – No system conversion is performed. The
output video system is the same as that encoded on the
disc. Blu-ray Discs encoded with 24Hz frame rate are
converted to 60Hz frame rate if neither 1080p24 Output
nor Source Direct output resolution is enabled. Requires a
TV that supports both NTSC and PAL systems.
Note
Do not select “Multi-system” if your TV does not support both NTSC
and PAL systems. The TV display may become a black screen upon
inserting a disc encoded in a different system than your TV supports.
Should this happen, you can press the OPEN button to eject the disc
tray, and then use the Setup Menu to correct the “TV System” setting.
5. Output Resolution: To choose the output resolution that
best matches your television’s native resolution. For a detailed
description on how to choose a proper output resolution,
please refer to the Select the Best Output Resolution section on
page 23 of this manual.
6. 1080p24 Output: To set 1080p 24Hz output options. This
option only applies to the HDMI output at 1080p resolution.
Many Blu-ray Discs that originated from theatrical movies are
encoded using 24Hz frame rate, the same number of frames
per second as the original theatrical film. If the TV properly
supports 1080p 24Hz, smoother motion can be achieved
by enabling 1080p24 Output for such discs. The available
options are:
• Auto (default) – Video encoded in 24Hz frame rate will be
output as 1080p 24Hz if the TV informs the player that it
can support the 1080p24 signal.
