Activating Film Mode
Movies are recorded on film at a rate of 24 pictures, or frames, per second. Many
of the movies on Blu-ray discs are formatted at this frame rate (24 frames/second).
However, not all TVs can display this format.
If the player is connected to your TV via HDMI and is capable of displaying 24
frames/second, you can activate Film Mode for a better viewing experience.
To activate/deactivate Film Mode:
1. From the Display menu, use the Up/
Down Arrow buttons on the remote
to highlight Film Mode and press
SELECT.
The Film Mode menu is displayed.
2. Highlight On or Off and press
SELECT.
Adjusting the Deep Color Setting
The player is capable of outputting 36-bit color over HDMI. For the best viewing
experience, the deep color setting should be adjusted to match your TVs display
capabilities.
To adjust the Deep Color setting:
1. From the Display menu, use the Up/
Down Arrow buttons on the remote
to highlight Deep Color and press
SELECT.
The Deep Color menu is displayed.
2. Highlight the highest color setting that
your TV can display. (Devices differ;
see your TV’s user manual for details.)
