Arcam DV27A manual Video Setup

REMOTE TYPE

This informs the player which type of remote control you are using, so that the player can take into account the slight differences between the remote types. For Arcam remote controls, the remote type is always written on the front of the remote control, normally at the bottom of the unit.

CR-314	This selects the grey Arcam CR-314 remote control
CR-80	This selects the black Arcam CR-80 learning remote control
CR-9000	This selects the black Arcam CR-9000 learning remote
	control
Other	A non-Arcam learning remote control is being used

It is important to choose ‘Other’ if the learning remote in use does not support RC-5 ‘toggle bits’.

OSD (ON SCREEN DISPLAY)

This setting controls the ‘pop up’ messages that appear on screen.

On	Pop-up messages are enabled
Off	No pop-up messages, only menus when required.

Certain messages, such as ‘No Disc’ are always shown regardless of how this is set.

PRIORITY

Some DVD discs show different material, or have different behaviour, depending on whether the disc is played on a DVD-video or on a DVD-audio player. The “Priority” option allows you to configure the DV27A to be (primarily) one or other of the player types.

Note that, although this setting may be changed after a disc has been loaded into the DV27A, this setting does not take effect unless the disc is re-loaded (or a different disc is played).

VIDEO SETUP

	Video 2/7
TV Shape	4:3 Letter Box
TV System	Auto
Progressive	Off
HQ Video	RGB Scart
NTSC Black	7.5 IRE(Standard)

TV SHAPE

This needs to be set correctly for the type of TV you have and the shape of display you prefer.

4:3	Use this setting if you have a conventional 4:3 TV, and you
Letterbox	prefer to view wide screen movies in letterbox format
	(with black bars at the top and bottom)
4:3 Panscan	Use this setting if you have a conventional 4:3 TV, and you
	prefer to view wide screen movies in Pan & Scan format
	(cropping the sides of the image)
16:9	Use this setting if you have a wide screen (16:9) TV. Material
	in 16:9 format is displayed so as to fill the screen.

If you have a 4:3 TV and you have set a preference for Panscan, it does not mean you will always see movies in this format, since the Panscan display must be supported on that disc.

TV SYSTEM

This is set at the factory to be appropriate for the type of TV used in your country. Should you need to change this setting, the options are explained below.

Auto	The video output is taken from that recorded on the disc.
	When no disc is playing, the logo screen is displayed using
	the standard of the last disc played.
NTSC	NTSC is always used as the video standard. Note that
	PAL discs are converted to NTSC, but this causes some
	reduction in the quality of the video output (and may cause
	the video to become ‘jerky’).This is the best setting to use
	if your TV can accept only NTSC video (this is generally the
	case in North America); better results are obtained by using
	‘Auto’, but your TV must be able to support PAL.
PAL	PAL is always used as the video standard. Note that NTSC
	discs are converted to PAL, but this causes some reduction
	in the quality of the video output (and may cause the video
	to become ‘jerky’). Better results will be obtained by using
	‘Auto’, but your TV must be able to support NTSC.

PROGRESSIVE

This item is not applicable for the DV27A and should not be changed.

HQ VIDEO (HIGH QUALITY VIDEO)

This setting controls the type of video given out on the Component and SCART video outputs. It is set at the factory to be appropriate for the type of TV used in your country, so it is best not to change it. If it gets set incorrectly then the picture shown on theTV will have strange colouring.

Component	The video output on both the Component video (3
	phonos) and SCART is Y, Pb, Pr component video.
RGB SCART	The video output on both the Component video (3
	phonos) and SCART is RGB. Note that if you are using
	RGB output via phono connectors, you will also need to
	use COMPOSITE as a sync signal.

NTSC BLACK (PEDESTAL)

This setting controls the ‘pedestal’ signal or black level when the NTSC video standard is used. Note that it does not affect PAL video or Progressive Scan output in any way.

0 IRE	This removes the pedestal from NTSC video.This setting
	should be used in Japan, and also if you are using RGB video,
	whatever the country.

7.5IRE This is the standard pedestal level that should be used in all countries that use NTSC video, with the exception of Japan.
