a.• When set to a resolution with which the TV (monitor) is not 

compatible, no picture is output. Also, in some cases no picture will 
be output due to copyright protection signals. In this case, change 
the setting.
• When AUTO is selected, the resolution is selected automatically 
according to the capacity of the TV (monitor) connected by HDMI. 
When PURE is selected, the signals are output with the same 
resolution as when input (At this time, video signals are only output 
from the same type of terminals to which they were input).
• When a display is connected by HDMI, if this is set to something 
other than PURE and 480i/576i analog signals are input, 480p/576p 
signals are output from the component output terminals.
• Conversion to 1080p is only performed for 480i, 576i, 480p and 
576p input signals.

b.• If the image doesn’t match your monitor type, adjust the aspect 

ratio on the source component or on the monitor.
• This cannot be set when the resolution is set to PURE.
• NORMAL setting is only displayed when 480i/p or 576i/p video 
signals are being input.
