Setting Options Explanation
Video Out
TV Aspect Ratio 4:3 (Standard) Select if you have a standard 4:3 TV. See Changing the output video resolution on page 12.
When the Output Video Resolution is set to
720p, 1080i or 1080p, video is output in 16:9 widescreen
format even if TV Aspect Ratio is set to 4:3 (Standard). When connected to a 4:3 TV, set the Output
Video Resolution to 576i/480i or 576p/480p. See also Changing the output video resolution on
page 12.
16:9 (Widescreen) • Select if you have a widescreen 16:9 TV.
4:3 Video Out Full 4:3 video material is output without black bars on either side of the picture if the TV Aspect Ratio
setting (above) is set to
16:9 (Widescreen).
Normal • 4:3 video material is output with black bars on either side of the picture if the TV Aspect Ratio setting
(above) is set to
16:9 (Widescreen).
DVD 16:9 Video Out Letter Box • If the TV Aspect Ratio setting (above) is set to 4:3 (Standard), select this if you prefer letterbox
presentation of 16:9 format DVDs.
Pan & Scan If the TV Aspect Ratio setting (above) is set to 4:3 (Standard), select this if you prefer Pan & Scan
presentation of 16:9 format DVDs.
Some discs contain only Letter Box or Pan & Scan presentation so the video output will depend on the disc.
HDMI Color Space YCbCr • This is the standard setting for HDMI-compatible devices.
RGB (16–235) Use this setting if colours appear overly rich and the black too deep on the RGB (0–255) setting.
RGB (0–255) Use if colours are weak and black appears to ‘float’ on the RGB (16–235) setting.
When using an HDMI monitor that accepts only RGB input, this player outputs RGB video even if this setting is set to YCbCr. If the monitor is DVI-compatible, the player
outputs RGB (0–255) colour space. If however the picture looks unnatural, set it to RGB (16–235).
24p Direct Out On Gives smooth movement in BD/DVD film material video. This setting is only effective when the player
is connected to a 1080/24p-compatible TV using HDMI.
Off • Choose this setting if you notice picture disturbance when the video switches between video and
film material.
When 24p Direct Out is On, you may experience some picture disturbance when the video switches between video and film material. See also Changing the output video
resolution on page 12.
