14 Introduction and getting started
Set the TV type to PAL for most
European television sets. The
Video Output option selects the
type of video signal that will be
sent via the TV SCART socket.
You can choose between RGB,
S-Video, YUV (also known as
component, and used with some
flat-panel displays), and CVBS,
also known as composite.
For most televisions, you will get the best picture by choosing
the RGB option. If, while you change this option, the picture
on your television disappears, or changes to black and white,
simply use the arrow keys to select another option, until you
can see the display correctly. Some televisions may take a few
seconds to adjust to a new setting.
Use the VCR SCART setting to change how the signal from the
VCR SCART connector is passed through to your television.
When set to Standard, it will be automatic, and so will depend
on the device you have connected to the VCR SCART; for ex-
ample, a video recorder’s picture may display only when it
is playing, while a DVD player may display all the time. If
you set this option to External A/V, then the picture from the
device you have connected to the VCR SCART connector will
only appear on your television when you select it via the Satel-
lite button on the remote control.
If you have a widescreen television, you should set the TV
Aspect Ratio option to 16:9; for a conventional television set,
set it to 4:3.
The 16:9 Display format controls how widescreen programmes
will appear on a non-widescreen television. Ifyou select Letter
Box, then the picture will appear with black bars top and bot-
tom; select Center Extract to see a picture that fills the whole
screen, with some of the side information lost.
