Default 1080 Blu-ray set up

Hello, in need of some help!

I have a comcast HD box, which works successfully on my HDTV. When I am viewing the HD broadcast, my TV displays "1080" briefly (on component 2). However, when I turn on my blu-ray (on component 1), it says "480p". I know this is not optimal. My TV does not have HDMI inputs. I am confused though, since my HD broadcast works at 1080, why my blu-ray will not. The easy set up on my blu-ray sets it automatically to 480p. I am using the green, red, and blue cables. Sorry for not being more technical. All information is greatly appreciated!

best,
tony

You need to go into the setup menu of your bluray player and set its output to 1080, it should be under picture or video settings or something like that.

thank you for your response, I tried that and unfortunately it defaults back to 480.

what is the make & model number of your TV.

Look through the instruction manual...some TV's(usually an older model) only have one input that allows for 480p/720p/1080i, while the other input is limited to 480p.

But we'd have to look in the manual to know for sure?
