TV System Selection
While you may want to set the video output system (NTSC/PAL) to the same as that supported by your TV,
realize that the Primare Blu-ray Disc Player will convert any content that is not in the correct format your
TV understands.
Some points to keep in mind:
•
When the video output is set to PAL or NTSC system, the player will convert the disc content to the
selected system.
•
When the video output is set to “Multi”, the player will not perform system conversion. The “Multi”
mode is only to be used if your TV supports both NTSC and PAL systems.
•
Some TV sets only support one of the NTSC or PAL systems. If the wrong output is selected, the TV
may not display a picture.
•
The output system can be changed between PAL and NTSC by setting the “TV System” item in the
“Video Setup” section of the player’s Setup Menu. (Refer to page 22 for details.)
Output Resolution
The Primare BD32 Blu-ray Disc Player supports multiple output resolutions. For detailed discussion on
how to choose the best output resolution, please refer to “Select the Best Output Resolution” on page 6 of
this manual.
The following output resolutions are available:
NTSC output via HDMI 1 or HDMI 2:

multiple times to cycle through the available output resolutions. The new resolution is also displayed

5. Press the SELECT button to apply the selected output resolution. Or, if you do not want to change the
output resolution, press and hold down the < arrow button to exit.

NOTE
•
Some TV sets do not support one or more output resolutions (particularly 1080p). If an
incompatible output resolution is selected, you will get a blank screen or an error message.
In this case please press RES repeatedly to cycle through the available output resolutions
until the picture is restored.
•
If you cannot get a picture using the HDMI or component output, please connect the player
to the TV using the composite video output, then use the Setup Menu to adjust the player
settings.
•
Video up-conversion over the component output is only available for unencrypted discs
such as home video and consumer-created contents. Most commercially pressed DVD
discs are CSS-encrypted and will be limited to 480i/480p resolution. This restriction applies
to the component output only. The HDMI output is protected with HDCP and has no such
restriction.
2. Turn on the TV. Adjust the TV to use the proper input (HDMI, DVI or Component).
3. Make sure that the player is turned on. Although the output resolution can be changed “on the fly”, it
is recommended that you stop playback and take out the disc before changing the output resolution.
Press the RES button. A “Resolution Setting” menu appears on the TV screen. If the TV does
not support the current resolution and you cannot see the “Resolution Setting” menu, the current
resolution is also displayed on the front panel.
