Connecting using the component
video output
You can use the component video output instead of the standard
video out jack to connect this player to your TV (or other equipment).
• Use a component video cable (not supplied) to connect the
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to a component video input on
your TV, monitor or AV receiver.
Be careful to match up the colours of the three jacks for correct
connection.

For resolutions that cannot be output by component output, video is output in the
following resolutions:
PAL: 576/50i
NTSC: 480/60i
Note
• Depending on your display, some of the settings may result in
the picture disappearing. In this case, press OUTPUT
RESOLUTION repeatedly until the picture re-appears.
• 720/50p, 1080/50i, 1080/50p, 1080/60p and 1080/24p output is
only compatible with HDMI displays. They are not compatible
with the component video output.
• When Output Video Resolution is set to 720p, 1080i or 1080p,
video is output in 16:9 format even if TV Aspect Ratio is set to 4:3
(Standard). See TV Aspect Ratio on page 39.
• If the contours of the displayed subjects look jagged or blurred,
try setting the Output Video Resolution to 576i/480i. (If you
connected this player to your TV with the HDMI connection and
the picture disappears when you switch the Output Video
Resolution to 576i/480i, use the component connection with the
576i/480i Output Video Resolution or S-Video, the standard
composite connection instead.)
• Note that when using a Component Video connection with a TV
AUDIO OUT
or other AV component (not using HDMI), 480/60i video may be
(2ch)

output in 480/60p, and 576/50i video may be output in 576/50p.

24p output
For smooth presentation of 1080/24p or 720/24p video with an
HDMI-equipped display compatible with 1080/24p input, set 24p
Direct Out on this player to On (see page 39).
This player will output 1080/24p video over HDMI in the following
cases:
• 1080/24p video: When the Output Video Resolution is set to
Auto or Source Direct.
• 720/24p video: When the Output Video Resolution is set to Auto.
Note
• Even when 24p Direct Out is set to On, if a TV not compatible with
1080/24p video is connected, the actual frame frequency of the
video output will be 60 Hz.
• The video output will be interrupted when switching the video
output from 1080/24p or 720/24p to other output video
resolutions, or when switching to 1080/24p or 720/24p from
other output video resolutions.
