The output video resolution depends on the video output terminal. See the table below. The table below shows the output video resolution for the different terminals when the frame/field frequency of the playback source is 50 Hz on the upper line, the resolutions when the source's frame/ field frequency is 60 Hz on the lower line.

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 � 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 13).

� 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.
Example: Video resolution of the currently playing disc
Output Video Resolution Auto
Source : 1080/24p Current Output : 1080/24p
1. Depending on the BD, the pictures may not be output. 2. Cannot be selected when the video signals are being output from the COMPONENT VIDEO output terminals, S-VIDEO output terminal or the VIDEO output terminal. 3. For details on the output of film material (1080/24p or 720/24p video signals), see To output film material. 4. Sources with a resolution of 720/50p, 720/60p and 720/24p are output at 1080/ 50i or 1080/60i, even if the TV�s preferred resolution is 1080/50p or 1080/60p. 5. Depends on the NTSC on PAL TV setting (page 41). 6. DVD-Video or DVD VR format is output at 480/60p. BDs format may be output at 480/60p. 7. Depending on the connected HDMI cable, the video signals may not be output. Also, sources with a resolution of 720/50p is output at 1080/50i, and 720/60p and 720/24p are output at 1080/60i. 8. Depending on the connected TV, the video signals may not be output. 9. 720/24p film material is output at 720/60p. 10. 1080/24p film material is output at 1080/60i.

� To output film material
To output 1080/24p film material from the HDMI output 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 Source Direct 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 Auto or Source Direct.
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 output terminal or component video output terminals, the picture may be output with an aspect ratio of 16:9, even if the TV Aspect Ratio is set to 4:3 (Standard). � 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
