System Setup

When the HDMI Output ￿ is used, the aspect ratio will automatically be set appropriately for the specific display. However, you may select an alternate view.

TV Standard: Sets the output video format i.e. NTSC, PAL or SECAM, of the player. If you have a multi standard TV, we recommend the AUTO set- ting for optimal picture quality.

Video Adjustment: The Video Adjustment Submenu contains access to the Test Screen. First adjust the video display device (TV) with the help of the Test Screen. After that the output settings of the player can be fine-tuned with the Brightness, Sharpness and Black Level settings. In order to change the settings, move the cursor to the “+“ or “-“ icon on the same line as the setting. Once one of the icons is highlighted, pressing OK will increase or decrease the value of the setting, as will be shown in the bar behind the setting. To exit the Video Adjustment Menu, move the cursor to DONE, and press OK.

Video Out Resolution: This setting may be used to change the video output resolution. It affects the Component Video Outputs and the HDMI Output, but with different allowed settings depending upon whether the HDMI Output is in use. This setting may also be changed by pressing the Video Mode Button on the remote repeatedly to cycle through the available settings options.

HDMI Output In Use: With the HDMI Output connected to another device, this setting defaults to Auto, but you may change it to 576p, 720p, 1080i or 1080p. We recommend leaving the setting at Auto, in which the player sets the video output based on the capabilities of the device it is connected to. If you attempt to select a video output resolution that your video display is not capable of handling, such as 1080p for a display that is only 1080i-capa- ble, you will not see a picture.

HDMI Output Not In Use: When no device is connected to the HDMI Output, this setting only applies to the Component Video Outputs. Only two values are available: 576i (the default) and 576p. Select 576p only if your video display’s component video inputs are capable of handling a progressive scan signal. If it isn’t, you will see no picture or a distorted picture when this setting is changed to 576p. In that case, press the Video Mode Button on the remote to correct it.

DivX Subtitle: This setting selects the desired subtitle language for DivX movies.

DivX Registration: This setting shows your per- sonal DivX Video On Demand (VOD) code.

This code allows you to rent and purchase videos using the DivX VOD service. For more infor- mation, visit www.divx.com/vod. Follow the instructions and download the video onto a disc for playback on this unit. Note that all the downloaded videos from DivX VOD can only be played back on this unit.

Once the DivX icon is highlighted, press OK to access your personal DivX VOD code.
