TV System — this should be set according to the prevailing
video standard in your territory. The options are:
• Auto — this is the factory default setting. With TV
System set to Auto, the video output follows the standard
recorded on the disc. This is the best setting if your
display device is able to auto-select between NTSC and
PAL formats. When no disc is playing, the standard used
is that of the last video disc or file played.
• NTSC — video outputs will be to the NTSC standard.
Select this setting if your display device is NTSC-only. Note
that PAL video discs will be converted to NTSC, but this
may cause a reduction in the quality of the displayed video.
If your display device can auto-select NTSC or PAL, Auto
will generally be a better setting for playing PAL discs.
• PAL — video outputs will be to the PAL standard. Select
this setting if your display device is PAL-only. Note that
NTSC video discs will be converted to PAL, but this may
cause a reduction in the quality of the displayed video. If
your display device can auto-select NTSC or PAL, Auto will
generally be a better setting for playing NTSC discs.
See also “NTSC/PAL” on page 35 for additional information
regarding NTSC/PAL compatibility with various disc types.
Video out — this setting determines the video format available
at the rear panel Component video outputs
and the digital
HDMI output . The first three options are for Standard
Definition (SD) displays; select HD YUV/HDMI when using an
HD-capable display connected to the digital HDMI output or
analogue component outputs:
• RGB — this sets the analogue component outputs to RGB
format, at an interlaced resolution of 480i (NTSC) or 576i
(PAL). The HDMI output is off.
InterlaceYUV• — this sets the analogue component
outputs to YUV format, at an interlaced resolution of 480i
(NTSC) or 576i (PAL). The HDMI output is off.
• Progressive YUV — this sets the analogue component
and HDMI outputs to YUV format, at a progressive
resolution of 480p (NTSC) or 576p (PAL).
HDYUV/HDMI• — this sets the analogue component
and HDMI outputs to YUV format, at a High Definition
(HD) resolution of 720p or 1080i, as selected by the HD
Resolution setting (see next menu item). The progressive
SD formats of 480p and 576p are also repeated.
When the video output format is changed, additional pop-up
dialogue boxes will request confirmation that the change should
take place, as changing the format when an unsuitable display
device is connected will result in a scrambled image.
The video output format may also be changed with the HI-DEF
button on the RC-89 Remote Control Unit. See HD Resolution
for more information.
The front panel display also briefly confirms each new video
format as it is selected.
HD Resolution — This setting determines the video resolution of
HD video outputs at the HDMI connector
and the component
video connectors , if available. This setting is only adjustable if
Video out is set to HD YUV/HDMI, otherwise HD Resolution is
set to AUTO HDMI. The options are:
• AUTO HDMI — This is the default setting; the video
resolution of the HDMI and component outputs is set
automatically to the “preferred” format of any HDMI display
connected to it, and no user interaction is required.
Note that this auto-mode may not be supported and the
resolution will default to 480p/576p. In this case, the
higher resolutions of 720p and 1080i may be manually
selected below.
• 480p/576p — This sets the HD outputs to progressive
scan versions of SD NTSC or PAL resolutions – 480p
(NTSC) or 576p (PAL).
• 720p — sets to HD progressive resolution, 720 x 1280
• 1080i — sets to HD interlaced resolution, 1080 x 1920
Note: Not all display devices will correctly display the 1080i
output from PAL discs (1080i/50) when connected to the
component outputs of the UDP-89. If HDMI is available, this
should be used instead.
Also note that the composite and S-video outputs are only active
at the SD 480/576 resolutions.
When the HD resolution is changed, additional pop-up dialogue
boxes will request confirmation that the change should take
place, as changing the resolution when an unsuitable display
device is connected will result in a scrambled image.
The front panel display also briefly confirms each new video
resolution as it is selected.

HD Jpeg mode — When this item is set to On, JPEG files can

suitable HD monitor.
