1. Primary Output: To select the primary video output port. The options are:
• HDMI – Use HDMI as the primary video output port. This setting will ensure that the HDMI
output is available all the time. Component video output is limited to 480i/576i resolution
when this option is selected.
• Component – Use component video as the primary video output port. The component
output can support progressive-scan (480p/576p) and up-converted resolutions
(720p/1080i/1080p) when the HDMI output is not in use (HDMI cable unplugged). When the
HDMI output is in use, the player will output interlaced video (480i/576i) through its
component output.
NOTE
When “Primary Output” is set to “Component”, the HDMI port may have no output signal if
the player does not detect an HDMI connection when it is turned on. For example, if you turn
on the player first and then turn on the TV or A/V receiver, the player may miss the
opportunity to detect and enable the HDMI connection. Should this happen, press the
EJECT button to eject the disc tray. This will give the player an opportunity to detect and
enable the HDMI output.
2. Sharpness: To set the sharpness of video output. Sharpness enhancement level can be set
between -2 and 5. The default is level 0. Level 0 turns off sharpness enhancement. The
negative levels may be used to reduce or eliminate any unwanted edge enhancement, however
picture may appear soft. Level 1 through 5 gradually increases the enhancement level. The
higher the level, the sharper the video details are. However too high a sharpness level may
cause white line etching around objects.
• Press the SELECT button to show the Sharpness scale, and then use the left/right ARROW
buttons to adjust.
• Press the SELECT button to confirm the new setting.
NOTE
Sharpness (edge enhancement) is a video processing function that can produce a sharper
looking picture but at the same time may cause unwanted artifacts. The DV-983H model
utilizes the fine detail and edge enhancement technology from VRS™ by Anchor Bay (Video
Reference Series) for its HDMI output. This technology provides fine control to achieve an
optimal balance between enhancing sharpness and minimizing unwanted artifacts. We
generally recommend level -1, 0 or 1 depending on the content when the HDMI output is
used. We recommend level 0 when other video output is used.
