Caution
• On some TVs, the picture may not be
displayed properly when the resolution is
switched. If this happens, use
OUTPUT
RESOLUTION
to set to a resolution at
which the picture is properly displayed.
• When video signals are being output with a
resolution of 1080/50i, 1080/50p, 720/50p,
1080/24p, 1080/60i, 1080/60p or 720/60p
from the
HDMI OUT
terminal or
COMPONENT VIDEO
output terminals,
the picture may be output with an aspect

• The picture may not be displayed for a
while when the resolution is switched.
About the frame/field frequency and
NTSC/PAL TV systems
By factory default setting, the frame/field
frequency is set for an output of 50 Hz, and the
video signal output from the
S-VIDEO
and
VIDEO
output terminals is set to be output in
the PAL TV system format. When sources with
a frame/field frequency of 60 Hz or 24 Hz are
played, the output frame/field frequency
automatically switches to 60 Hz (or 24 Hz for
HDMI, depending on the setting), and the TV
system format for the video signal output from
the
S-VIDEO
and
VIDEO
output terminals is
set to
NTSC on PAL TV
. When playback is
stopped, the frame/field frequency and TV
system settings remain at the settings last
used. The frame/field frequency and TV system
settings do not change even when the power is
turned off. They only switch when a video
material with a different frame/field frequency
is played.
If the picture is not displayed on the TV when a
source with a different frame/field frequency is
played, use the procedure below to switch the
frame/field frequency and TV system settings
for the signal output from the player.
Eject the disc, then press the
OPEN/CLOSE
button on the front panel while pressing the
PLAY
button to switch to a different frame/
field frequency. The frame/field frequency
switches between 50 Hz and 60 Hz each time
this operation is performed. The indicator for
the frame frequency’s current setting lights on
the front panel display (page 14).
About Film material
The film material is a video signal with a frame
rate of 24 frames/second. For example, these
materials include 1080/24p, 720/24p, etc.
To output film material
To output 1080/24p film material from the
HDMI OUT
terminal, set the output video
resolution to either
Auto
or
Source Direct
.
Caution
• 1080/24p signals can only be output from
the
HDMI OUT
terminal. They cannot be
output from other video terminals.
• When
Auto
is selected, the picture is
output at 60 frames/second if your TV is not
compatible with 1080/24p signals.
• When

is selected, the
signals are output as such, even if your TV
is not compatible with 1080/24p signals. If
the picture is not displayed properly, use
OUTPUT RESOLUTION
to set to the output
video resolution at which the picture is
properly displayed.
• 720/24p video signals are output at 60
frames/second, even if the resolution is set
to

or
