• 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 colors of the three jacks for correct
connection.

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.
• 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 41.
• If the contours of the displayed subjects look jagged or blurred,
try setting the Output Video Resolution to 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
480i, use the component connection with the 480i Output Video
Resolution or S-Video, the standard composite connection
instead.)
• Note that when using a Component Video connection with a TV
or other AV component (not using HDMI), 480/60i video may be
output in 480/60p.

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.
