NOTE
• When the HDMI video resolution is set to “1080P24”, a HDMI video signal is output from the DBP-A100
with a resolution of 1080P and a frame rate of 24 frames per second, regardless of the video signal
on the disc being played. Because of this, when playing discs containing video signals recorded with
a frame rate of something other than 24 frames per second, the movement of the picture may be
unnatural. If this happens, set the HDMI video resolution to something other than “1080P24”.
• When the “I/P Direct” (vpage 23) setting is “On” and a disc with a frame rate of 24 frames per second
is played, no video signals are output from the video or S-Video outputs.
• When the “I/P Direct” (vpage 23) setting is “Off”, “1080P24” is not displayed.
n Audio signal from the HDMI output terminal
You can change the audio format and playback the number of channels according to the specications
of the device to which the DBP-A100’s HDMI audio output signals are input. Make settings while
checking the specications of the audio device to be connected as well as the audio format/number
of channels stored in media and les for playback.
