Selecting the best output resolution

For the latest generation of 1080p,
the best output resolution will naturally be 1080p. For earlier
digital televisions this might be 720p or 1080i. It is usually best to set
the output of the 752BD to the native resolution of the TV, consult the
TVs manual for details of the actual resolution of its panel. Large TVs
are often 1080p (1920 x 1080) but smaller TVs are sometimes 720p
(1280 x 720). These are general recommendations that work for most
users, but there can be exceptions. Advanced users may want to try all
supported resolutions and choose the one that provides the best visual
result.
The 752BD also supports a special
HDMI output. This mode is recommended for use with external video
processors or high-end TVs with high quality scalers. In
mode, the player works as a transport
"
and then sends the raw video signal in its native resolution and format,
without extra processing, to the external video processor or TV. The
actual output resolution thus varies by content:
Content
PAL DVD
NTSC DVD
Most Blu-ray Movies (film-source)
Most Blu-ray TV shows or Concerts
(video-source)
SACD and DVD-Audio
For both HDMI outputs, the following output resolutions are available:
4Kx2K, Auto, 1080p, 1080i, 720p,480p/576p, 480i/576i, and Source
Direct.
If Auto is selected, the player will determine the output resolution based
on the best signal resolution that the TV can display. It does this by
reading the EDID of the TV via the HDMI connection, if all is well the TV
will tell the 752BD the range of video outputs it can support and the
752BD will pick the highest one. The 752BD will then allways scale the
output to this resolution.
If any of the other resolutions is selected the 752BD will always scale
the output to the resolution you select. Note that 4K x 2K is a very new
standard and only a handful of TVs currently support this. For most TVs
selecting this option will cause the picture to be lost.
To change the output resolution, press the Res button on the remote to
bring up the Resolution Menu, then press the  or  buttons on the
remote to highlight the desired output, press the Enter button to confirm
and return. If your TV does not support the selected resolution, you may
see a black screen or an error message. In this case, try a different
resolution that your TV can support.
Note:
• In case you are not able to get a picture using the HDMI outputs, please
connect the player to the TV using the diagnostic composite video
output, and then use the Setup Menu to adjust the player settings.
