PAL Output Setting
With this setting you can specify how the DVD receiver
outputs video signals when playing NTSC format
DVD-Video discs or Video CDs.
Auto (default):
Use this option if your TV supports both PAL and
NTSC. The DVD receiver does not convert the video for-
mat. When you play a PAL disc, the video output will be
PAL format. And when you play an NTSC disc, it’ll be
NTSC format.
NTSC:
Use this option if your TV doesn’t support PAL play-
back, or the picture is distorted when watching PAL
discs. The DVD receiver will convert PAL format video
signals to NTSC-compatible format.
PAL:
Use this option if your TV doesn’t support NTSC play-
back, or the picture is distorted when watching NTSC
discs. The DVD receiver will convert NTSC format
video signals to PAL-compatible format.
Note:
If you select the wrong setting by mistake and loose the
picture, while pressing and holding the Next [ ] but-
ton on the front panel, press the [STANDBY/ON] button
on the front panel repeatedly to get picture.
SCART Output Setting
(European model only)
With this setting you can select the video format to be
used for the SCART AV CONNECTOR: RGB or com-
posite video. Before changing this setting, refer to your
TV’s manual to see if its SCART input can accept video
signals in these formats.
Composite (default):
Composite video offers standard quality.
RGB:
This format offers the best picture quality.
Notes:
• If you select a format that is not supported by your TV,
the setup menu may disappear from the screen. If this
happens, switch off your equipment, connect the DVD
receiver to your TV with a composite video cable, and
then change this setting.
• When “RGB” is selected, nothing is output by the
component video output and HDMI output.
Digital/HDMI Audio Out
With this setting you can configure the HDMI digital
output.
All (default):
Dolby Digital and DTS signals are output as they are.
If your TV or amp doesn’t support higher sampling rates,
set the “Linear PCM Out” setting to “Down Sample On”
(below).
PCM:
Dolby Digital and DTS signals are down mixed to 2
channels and output as PCM. If your TV doesn’t support
Dolby Digital and DTS, choose this option. Audio from
speakers connected to DVD receiver is also changed to
PCM.
Note:
MPEG is output as PCM regardless of this setting.
Linear PCM Out
With this setting you can configure the DVD receiver to
output digital audio with higher sampling rates (e.g.,
88.2 kHz, 96 kHz) as it is or to down sample it to 48 kHz
or below.
If the TV you connect to the DVD receiver’s HDMI out-
put supports 96 kHz digital audio, select “Down Sample
Off”. Otherwise, select “Down Sample On”.
Down Sample On:
Source of 48 kHz or more is down sampled to 48 or
44.1 kHz.
Down Sample Off (default):
Sources are output as they are.
Notes:
• Some copy-protected DVD-Video discs may use
96 kHz digital audio only for D/A conversion to the
analog audio outputs.
• With some discs, even if you select “Down Sample
Off”, the digital audio will be down sampled, and in
some cases may not be output by the DVD receiver’s
HDMI output.
