ªAbout the settings when 
connecting with HDMI
When this unit is connected to another device 
with a HDMI cable, the output setting on this unit

desired item and press the cursor 
button.
[AUTO]:The output resolution is automatically set 
based on the information from the 
connected TV.
[1080i]: The interlace method with 1080 available 
scan lines is used for output.
[480p]: The progressive method with 480 
available scan lines is used for output.
≥If the images are not output on the TV when the 
setting is [AUTO], switch to the method [1080i] 
or [480p] which enables the images to be 
displayed on your TV. (Please read the 
operating instructions for the TV.)

Information from the 
connected TVOutput resolution
720p, 1080i 1080i
Others 480p
1080i
This is an interlace scan method which scans 
1080 scan lines to display a high definition 
image. The 1080 available scan lines are 
divided in half and scanned on the screen 
alternatively every 1/60
th of a second. The 
number of available scan lines is more than 
double the 480 scan lines used to display 
standard images until now so the images have 
clearer detail and a lot of presence.
480p
This is a progressive scan method which 
scans all 480 available scan lines on the 
screen at the same time every 1/60
th of a 
second. This method reduces the flickering as 
the scan lines are not scanned on the screen 
alternatively like in the interlace method.
480i
This is an interlace scan method in which the 
480 available scan lines are divided in half 
and scanned on the screen alternatively every 
1/60
th of a second.
Interlace method/progressive method
Video signals until now (NTSC) are referred to 
as 480i (i is short for interlace) whereas a 
high-density video signal that doubles the 
number of scan lines is called 480p (p is short 
for progressive).
The component terminal and the HDMI 
terminal on this unit are also compatible with 
high definition image output 1080i. It is 
necessary to have a compatible TV to enjoy 
progressive and high definition images.
