RESOLUTION

The

 

PBD 1

supports multiple output resolutions. For a detailed

discussion on how to choose the best output resolution, please
refer to the

Select the Best Output Resolution

section on page

22 of this manual.

If you would like to change the output resolution, you may do so by
pressing the

RESOLUTION

button on the remote.

1.

Make sure the HDMI cable is properly connected.

2.

Turn on the TV and adjust the TV to use its HDMI input port.

3.

Make sure that the player is turned on. Although the output resolution can be changed while a disc is
playing, it is recommended that you stop playback and take out the disc before changing the output
resolution. Press the

RESOLUTION

 button. The

Resolution Menu

 appears on the TV screen. If the

TV does not support the current resolution and you cannot see the

Resolution Menu

, the current

resolution is also displayed on the player’s front panel.

4.

Use the

UP/DOWN ARROW

buttons to select the new output resolution. You may also press the

RESOLUTION

 button multiple times to cycle through the available output resolutions.

5.

Press the

ENTER

button to apply the selected output resolution. If you do not want to change the

output resolution, press the

RETURN

 button to exit and return.

The following output resolutions are available:

NOTE

x

Some TV sets may not support one or more output resolutions. If an incompatible output
resolution is selected, you will get a blank screen or an error message. If this occurs, please
select an output resolution that is supported by the TV.

x

If you cannot get a picture using HDMI, please remove the HDMI cable and connect the
player’s DIAG (diagnostic) output to the TV using a regular composite video cable, and then
use the

Setup Menu

 to adjust the player settings.

Due to the “Analog Sunset” provision, as of January 1, 2011 all Blu-ray Disc players made
and sold going forward will not be able to pass high definition video (720p, 1080i, or 1080p)
via Component Video outputs. Because of this, we have removed the Component and
