- If you select a resolution manually and then connect the HDMI jack to TV and your TV does not accept it, the resolution setting is set to [Auto].
- If you select a resolution that your TV does not accept, the warning message will appear. After resolution change, if you cannot see the screen, please wait 20 seconds and the resolution will automatically revert back to the previous resolution.
- The 1080p video output frame rate may be automatically set to either 24Hz or 50Hz depending both on the capability and preference of the connected TV and based on the native video frame rate of the content on the BD-ROM disc.
