Remedy
• Connect the cable properly according to the connected
devices (page 15).
• Insert the cable firmly and all the way in.
If the cable is damaged, replace it with a new one.
Read the operating instructions of the connected components
and switch to the proper input.
Press VIDEO SELECT to switch the video output terminal to be
viewed (page 25).
If Pure Audio is set to Mode 2, video signals are only output
from the selected output terminal (page 53).
Use OUTPUT RESOLUTION to switch to a resolution at which
the video and audio signals are output (page 25).
1080p or Deep Color video signals may not be output properly,
depending on the HDMI cable being used or the player's
settings. Press  while pressing  on the player's front panel
to restore the video outputs to the factory default settings. After
this, if you wish to output the video signals with 1080p or Deep
Color, connect the TV using a High Speed HDMI™ cable
without built-in equalizer, then reset the player using the Setup
Navigator (page 21).
When set to Mode 1, no picture is displayed during playback
(page 53).
The picture may not be displayed properly if a DVI device is
connected.
Change the HDMI Color Space setting (page 45).
• Press  STOP to stop playback, then restart playback.
• If the playback cannot be stopped, press  STANDBY/ON
on the player's front panel to turn off the power, then turn the
power back on.
• If the power cannot be turned off, press and hold
 STANDBY/ON on the player's front panel for over 5
seconds. The power will turn off.
• The picture may not be displayed properly, depending on the
source. Set the resolution to something other than 1080/24p.
• Change the Pure Cinema setting (page 40).
With some discs, it may not be possible to output the video
signals from the VIDEO output terminals, the S-VIDEO output
terminal or the COMPONENT VIDEO output terminals. In this
case, connect using an HDMI cable (page 15).
• This player supports Macrovision analog copy protection
technology. With some TVs (such as with built-in video deck),
the picture will not be displayed properly when the copy
protected DVD title is played. This is not a malfunction.
• If the player and TV are connected via a DVD recorder/video
deck, etc., the picture will not be displayed properly due to
analog copy protection. Connect the player and TV directly.
Read the TV's operating instructions and set the TV's aspect
ratio properly.
Set TV Aspect Ratio properly (page 44).
Set 4:3 Video Out properly (page 44).
Set DVD 16:9 Video Out properly (page 44).
When video signals with a resolution of 1080/24p, 1080/60i,
1080/60p or 720/60p are being output from the HDMI OUT
terminals or the COMPONENT VIDEO output terminals, they
may be output with an aspect ratio of 16:9 even if TV Aspect
Ratio is set to 4:3 (Standard) (page 44).
Set Anamorphic Zoom to Off (page 52).
The picture may be interrupted when the resolution of the
recorded video signal switches. Press OUTPUT RESOLUTION
to select a setting other than Auto, 1080/24p or Source Direct
(page 25).
