Note for “HDMI Video Resolution”
• The selected resolution must also be supported by your display device.
• Even if you set “HDMI Video Resolution” setting to “Auto”, when this unit is connected to a DVI compatible display
devices with an HDMI-DVI cable, 480p signal will be output.
• Video and audio signals may be distorted temporarily when switching to / from the HDMI output mode.
• You cannot change the video resolution during playback of BD / AVCHD. To change the resolution, stop playback.
• In order to get natural and high quality film reproduction of 24-frame film material, use an HDMI cable (High Speed
HDMI cable is recommended) and select “Auto” if the connected TV is compatible with 1080p24 frame input.
• For discs with the contents which are not compatible with 1080p24 frame, 1080p60 frame will be output even if the
connected TV is compatible with 1080p24 frame input and you set “HDMI Video Resolution” setting to “Auto”.
• For AVCHD, outputting the video in 24 Hz (1080p/24) is not available.
•Pressing [B PLAY] (DISC) on the front panel for 5 seconds changes the setting back to its default.
• When you change the resolution, the TV screen temporarily goes blank and then comes back again. This is not a
malfunction.
• If you have selected the resolution not supported by your TV by mistake and the picture gets disturbed or goes
blank and does not come back, press and hold [B PLAY] (DISC) on the front panel for 5 seconds to change the
setting back to its default.
• With some copy-protected BD-videos, the video image may only be output from HDMI OUT jack.
