2. The video output will be interrupted when switching the video output.
3. For resolutions that cannot be output by component output, video is output in the
following resolutions:
PAL: 576/50i
NTSC: 480/60i
4. Video output is 480i during copy protected DVD-Video playback.
5. Video output during BD-ROM playback is 576i/480i depending on the disc.
6. The frame frequency for 1080/24p is still 60 Hz.
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 (page 39)
is set to 4:3 (Standard).
• 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
or other AV component (not using HDMI), 480/60i video may be
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 (page 39) on this player to On.
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.

Connecting using an S-Video output

You can use the S-Video output instead of the VIDEO OUT jack to
connect this player to your TV (or other equipment).
• Use an S-Video cable (not supplied) to connect the S-VIDEO
OUT to an S-Video input on your TV, monitor or AV receiver.
Line up the small triangle above the jack with the same mark on the
plug before plugging in.
