Component Video Connection
Method 4 – Component Video Connection to TV
•
If your TV has no digital video input but has component video inputs, please use a set of component video
cables to connect the component video output of the player to the TV, and remember to set the “
Primary
Output
” option in the setup menu to “
Analog
” (please see more details on page 53). The connectors are
Colour coded, so please make sure the cable connections match on both ends. The component video
connection will produce a very clear picture with high Colour accuracy.
•
Please use the Red/White audio cables to connect the STEREO AUDIO OUT terminals on the rear panel of
the player to the TV. Make sure the audio cables are connected to the same input terminal group on the TV as
the chosen component video input.
•
If the “
Primary Output
” option in the “
Video Setup
” section of the
Setup
menu is set to “
HDMI 1
” or “
HDMI 2
”
(see page 53 for details), the component video connection will not output video when playing a Blu-ray Disc
with 1080p 24Hz content, or will only output video with a low resolution (480i/576i) when playing a DVD. This
is not a malfunction. You must set “
Primary Output
” to “
Analog
” in order to properly use the component video
connection.
•
When playing a Blu-ray Disc, video resolution over the component output can be up to 1080i. 1080p content
will be interlaced into 1080i signal for the component output.
•
Video up-conversion over the component output is only available for unencrypted discs such as home video
and consumer-created contents. Most commercially pressed DVD discs are CSS-encrypted and will be limited
to 480i/480p resolution. This restriction applies to the component output only. The HDMI output is protected
with HDCP and has no such restriction.
•
You may connect the composite video cable to the TV for trouble-shooting purpose, please refer to page 10
for more details.
