Source Direct
What is Source Direct?
According to the manual (Installation / Setting Up the Player - Easy Setup Wizard / Select the Best Output Resolution), the Source Direct resolution setting is for use with external video processors or high-end TVs.

The manual (Installation / Setting Up the Player - Easy Setup Wizard / Select the Best Output Resolution) has a table of resolutions for various content types. Some ABT VRS processing is bypassed when using Source Direct. When set to Source Direct the player does:...but does not do:
- color space conversion
