Please refer to the user manual of your TV. `When you connect the player to the TV using the HDMI cable for the first time or to a new TV, the HDMI output
resolution will be automatically set to the highest supported by the TV. `You must have an HDMI connection to enjoy videos with 3D technology. `A long HDMI cable may cause a screen noise. If this occurs, set Deep Color to Off in the menu.
