2. Select Setup.
3. Select Output Video Resolution in the Screen Settings category.
4. Select Auto.

Q3: Can HDMI (HDMI1, HDMI2) output to 2 unidentical TVs?

A3: Yes. It can be connected using HDMI cables either through an amp or directly to a TV. (The exception is 4K TVs, which only can be connected via HDMI1.)

Q4: Can both HDMI (HDMI1, HDMI2) output the same resolution?

A4: This depends on the specifications of your TV. Once you set the resolution output, the Blu-ray Disc Player will determine the highest common resolution that each TV can support.

Q5: When connecting to the TV via an amplifier, there is no picture on the TV screen.

A5: If the connected amp or TV is not compatible with 4K, there is no picture on the TV screen when Output Video Resolution in Screen Settings of the Blu-ray Disc Player is set to 4K.

In this case, try the following:

• If the TV is not compatible with 4K:
  Set Output Video Resolution in Screen Settings to Auto.
• If the amp is not compatible with 4K:
  Set Output Video Resolution in Screen Settings to Auto, or connect the Blu-ray Disc Player directly to the TV with an HDMI cable.

Audio

Playback  

Q9: Why did resume playback take around 4-6s before the picture appeared?

A9: Because the transition process of output resolution takes time until the picture is normally output to the connected device.
