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 format. 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 playback, 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 playback, 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 [ ] button 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 composite 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.

Audio Menu

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 output 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.
