Remedy
y Connect the cable properly according to the connected devices (page
41).
y Disconnect the cable (video/audio cable or HDMI cable), then reinsert
it firmly and all the way in.
If the cable is damaged, replace it with a new one.
Read the operating instructions for the connected components and
switch to the proper input.
Press RESOLUTION to switch the video resolution output from the HDMI
OUT terminal (page 18).
1080p or Deep Color video signals may not be output properly,
depending on the HDMI cable being used or the player's settings. If you
wish to output the video signals with 1080p or Deep Color, connect the
®
TV using a High Speed HDMI
/™ Cable without a built-in equalizer, then
reset the player using the Setup Navigator (page 52).
The picture may not be displayed properly if a DVI device is connected.
Change the Color Space setting (page 77).
With some discs, it may not be possible to output the video signals from
the VIDEO output terminal. In this case, connect using an HDMI cable
(page 41).
y This player supports Rovi analog copy protection technology. With
some TVs (such as with built-in video deck), the picture will not be
displayed properly when the copy protected DVD title is played. This is
not a malfunction.
y If the player and TV are connected via a DVD recorder/video deck,
etc., the picture will not be displayed properly due to analog copy
protection. Connect the player and TV directly.
Read the operating instructions for the TV and set the TV's aspect ratio
properly.
Set TV Screen properly (page 76).
When video signals with a resolution of 1080/50i, 1080/50p, 720/50p,
1080/24p, 1080/60i, 1080/60p or 720/60p are being output from the
HDMI OUT terminal, they may be output with an aspect ratio of 16:9
even if TV Screen is set to 4:3 Pan&Scan (page 76).
The picture may be interrupted when the resolution of the recorded
video signal switches. Press RESOLUTION to select a setting other than
Auto (page 77).
y Connect the player to your TV with HDMI cable (High Speed HDMI
Cable).
y Your TV may not support "HDMI 3D mandatory format".
