Scan Type: This setting allows you to select between
progressive and interlaced scanning for the
Component Video Outputs ∞ to maximize the
image resolution for the type of video display in use.
When all desired setup and configuration entries have
been made, press the OSD Button ` to return the
player to normal operation and you are ready to enjoy
the finest in DVD or CD playback! Note that the output
at the S-Video ∞ and Composite Video §
outputs will always be standard-rate video that is
compatible with any television set or video display.
Two choices are available:
• Progressive: Select this option if you have a video
display that is compatible with input sources of
480P or greater. Displays labeled as “HDTV Ready,”
including virtually all large-screen LCD and plasma
displays, are compatible with progressive scan.
• Interlaced: Select this option when you are using
an older video display that has Y/Pr/Pb component
inputs, but which is not capable of displaying high
scan rate, or “HD” signals.
Video Mode: This setting affects only the Com-
ponent Video Outputs ∞, and it controls how the
video signals are optimized for progressive scan dis-
play. In most cases, the “automatic” mode is your best
choice, as it senses whether the disc being played was
originally recorded on video or shot on film. However,
in some cases you may wish to compensate for errors
in the disc authoring that occur when the frame rate is
not properly maintained when films are converted to
video. Three choices are available:
• Auto: This is the recommended setting, as it lets the
DVD 22 analyze the signals from the DVD and
adjust the output accordingly.
• Movie: Choose this option for optimal playback of
material that was shot on film, even though you are
viewing it on video via a DVD.
• Video: Choose this option for optimal playback of
material that was shot directly to video, such as
concerts and sports programming.
Video Adjustments Menu
This menu allows you to adjust five key parameters
of the video signal to compensate for differences
between your DVD player and other video sources.
You may use either the DVD 22’s built-in color bar test
signal or a test disc as the standard for the adjust-
ments. To ensure that your system is properly opti-
mized, we strongly recommend that you adjust your
video display using the display’s own controls before
making any changes to the DVD 22’s output. Once
the display is properly calibrated with all settings on
the DVD 22 set to their midpoint, use the controls on
this menu to fine-tune the DVD 22’s output.
Due to the nature of these settings, the navigation is
somewhat different from the DVD 22’s other menus
and controls. The menu itself is called up in the same
way as the other menus. Press the OSD Button `
to activate the main menu screen, and then press the
⁄¤ Navigation Buttons e so that SETUP
is highlighted. Press the Enter Button z, and then
use the
⁄¤‹›Navigation Buttons e until
the VIDEO ADJUSTMENTS menu box
(which contains an icon with slider controls and the
word VIDEO, and is located at the bottom of the
column in the Submenus Area ∫) is highlighted
within a white outline. Then press the Enter Button
z again.
When you press Enter z the video adjustments will
appear inside a black bar at the top of the screen,
with either the video from a disc being played or the
splash screen shown on the rest of the screen.
To change any of the video adjustments shown at
the top of the screen, first press the
⁄¤‹›
Navigation Buttons e so that the “+” to the right
of a parameter name is highlighted to increase the
setting or “–” to the right of a parameter name is high-
lighted to decrease the setting. Then press the Enter
Button z to change the value as shown by the
number of blue lines to the left or right of the center
line. When only the dark center line is shown with no
blue lines, the setting is at the midpoint default value.
Changes to any of the settings may be made with a
test disc playing, or you may use the internal test sig-
nal by pressing the
⁄¤‹›Navigation Buttons
e until the word OFF is highlighted next to the
TEST SCREEN line. To activate the test signal,
press the Enter Button z and note that a special
combination test signal, including both color bars and
gray scale along with 100% black and white fields, will
be displayed. To recall the video controls, press the
OSD Button ` and then navigate among the set-
tings and make any necessary changes following the
steps in the previous paragraph.
