• You can change the HDMI output mode with <HDMI (RESOLUTION)> during playback as well.
• After you select a HDMI output mode, the supported HDMI video resolution will be output.
• Video and audio signals may be distorted temporarily when switching to/from the HDMI output
mode.

on the setup menu. In this menu, you can confirm what HDMI video resolutions are supported
by connected display device. Refer to page 31.
• In order to get natural and high quality film reproduction of 24-frame film material, use HDMI
cable (High Speed HDMI cable is recommended) and select “1080p24” if the connected display
device is compatible with 1080p24 frame input.
• For BD, with the 1080p24 frame, you can enjoy natural and high quality film production of 24-
frame film material. If the connected display device is not compatible for 1080p24 frame, you
cannot set “HDMI Video Resolution” to “1080p24”.
• Even when “HDMI Video Resolution” is set to “1080p24”, if “I/P Direct” is set to “Off” or for playing
back DVD, a video resolution supported by the disc and the display device will be output instead
of 1080p24 frame.
• There is no output from VIDEO OUT, S VIDEO OUT and COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks when you
play back a BD that recorded 24-frame film material.
• COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks may not output any signals when you set “HDMI Select” to “RGB”
or “HDMI Deep Color” to “Auto”.
• When both HDMI OUT and COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks are connected to display device, and
HDMI output is “1080p”, the video signal may not be output properly from the COMPONENT
VIDEO OUT jacks.
• If you change the HDMI output mode with <HDMI (RESOLUTION)> during BD playback, it may
take 2 to 10 seconds to change, and while changing the HDMI output mode, sound and video
will be stopped.
• “HDMI Deep Color” is available only when the display device is connected by HDMI cable and
supports HDMI Deep Color.
• For “Auto” in “HDMI Deep Color” and for “1080p” or “1080p24” in “HDMI Video Resolution”, using
the High Speed HDMI cable is recommended.
