3.2 Video and audio settings 17
3.2.1 Television standard
The digital receiver supports two types of television standard. One is the PAL standard, and the other is the NTSC stan- dard. PAL was adopted in European countries while NTSC is adopted in USA, Canada, Mexico and so forth.
If you have a PAL television, you have to set the TV Type op- tion to PAL. In this case, if a service is broadcasted in NTSC standard, the digital receiver converts it into the PAL standard for your PAL television. However, its quality would some- what fall. The opposite case brings about the same result.
The best thing is to watch PAL services with a PAL television and to watch NTSC services with a NTSC television. How- ever, the multi television set is able to process both of them. So if you have an multi television set, set the TV Type op- tion to Multi. With this option, the digital receiver will output them without standard conversion. This setting is most rec- ommended especially if you are not sure what standard tele- vision you have.
3.2.2 Color model
Through the TV SCART connector, the digital receiver is able to output video in various color models. If you have the digi- tal receiver linked to your television from this connector, you should set the Video Output option to your desired color model. If you have connected them by RCA connector at which VIDEO reads on the back panel of the digital receiver, you do not have to set this option because the digital receiver outputs CVBS video through RCA connector independent of SCART connec- tor.
It is known in general that the RGB color model provides the best video quality with little difference from the YUV color model but the CVBS color model does the least. So RGB would be most desirable for this option.
