 About the frame/field frequency
and NTSC/PAL TV systems
U.K., Australia and New Zealand models: By factory default
setting, the frame/field frequency is set for an output of
50 Hz, and the video signal output from the VIDEO output
terminals is set to be output in the PAL TV system format.
When sources with a frame/field frequency of 60 Hz or
24 Hz are played, the output frame/field frequency
automatically switches to 60 Hz (or 24 Hz for HDMI,
depending on the setting), and the TV system format for
the video signal output from the VIDEO output terminals
depends on the NTSC on PAL TV setting.
Others: By factory default setting, the frame/field
frequency is set for an output of 60 Hz, and the TV system
format for the video signal output from the VIDEO output
terminals depends on the NTSC on PAL TV setting. When
sources with a frame/field frequency of 50 Hz are played,
the output frame/field frequency automatically switches
to 50 Hz, and the video signal output from the VIDEO
output terminals is set to be output in the PAL TV system
format.
When playback is stopped, the frame/field frequency and
TV system settings remain at the settings last used. The
frame/field frequency and TV system settings do not
change even when the power is turned off. They only
switch when a video material with a different frame/field
frequency is played.
If the picture is not displayed on the TV when a source
with a different frame/field frequency is played, use the
procedure below to switch the frame/field frequency and
22
TV system settings for the signal output from the player.

 About Film material
The film material is a video signal with a frame rate of 24
frames/second. For example, these materials include
1080/24p, 720/24p, etc.
 To output film material
To output 1080/24p film material from HDMI OUT
terminal, set the output video resolution to either Auto or
Source Direct.
Caution
• 1080/24p signals can only be output from the HDMI
OUT terminal. They cannot be output from other
video terminals.
• When Auto is selected, the picture is output at 60
frames/second if your TV is not compatible with 1080/
24p signals.
• When Source Direct is selected, the signals are
output as such, even if your TV is not compatible with
1080/24p signals. If the picture is not displayed
properly, use OUTPUT RESOLUTION to set an output
video resolution at which the video and audio signals
are properly output.
• Even if Auto or Source Direct is selected, 720/24p
video signals are output at 60 frames/second.
