Select the best output resolution

For the latest generation of 1080p,

Full HD

True HD

TV displays, the

best output resolution will naturally be 1080p. For all other digital
televisions this will likely be 720p or 1080i. These are general
recommendations that work for most users, but there can be exceptions.
Advanced users may want to try all supported resolutions and choose the
one that provides the best visual result.

The 650BD supports a special

Source Direct

output resolution on its

HDMI output. This resolution is recommended for use with external video
processors or high-end TVs with high quality scalers. In

Source Direct

mode, the player works as a

transport

. It decodes video from the discs

and then sends the raw video signal in its native resolution and format,
without extra processing, to the external video processor or TV. The actual
output resolution thus varies by content:

Content

Source Direct Output Resolution

PAL DVD

576i

NTSC DVD

480i

Most Blu-ray Movies (ﬁlm-source)

1080p 23.976Hz or 1080p 24Hz

Most Blu-ray TV shows or Concerts

1080i

(video-source)
SACD and DVD-Audio

1080i

Depending on your selection of

Primary Video Output

, the available

output resolution selections will differ. For the HDMI output, the following
output resolutions are available:

Auto, 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p/576p, 480i/576i, and Source Direct. If

Auto

is selected, the player will determine its output resolution based on

the best signal resolution that the TV can display.

For the component output, the following output resolutions are available:
1080i, 720p, 480p/576p and 480i/576i. Please refer to the
speciﬁcation of your TV to ﬁnd the best resolution to use.

Press the

buttons to select the desired output resolution, then press

the Enter button. The player will apply the selected output resolution and
ask you to conﬁrm the selection. If your TV supports the selected
resolution, you will see a dialog box with a countdown clock. Use the

button to highlight the

option and press the Enter button to save the

resolution setting. If your TV does not support the selected resolution,
you may see a black screen or an error message. In this case please wait
for 15 seconds and the Easy Setup screen will reappear. Select a different
resolution that your TV can support.
