'SCART video'

Since RGB and S-VIDEO signals sometimes use the same connections on a scart cable, the two signals cannot be transmitted simultaneously. With these settings, you can decide whether RGB or S-VIDEO signals are to be transmitted. This setting affects only the scart sockets of the DVD recorder ( EXT1 TO TV-I/ON output socket and EXT2 AUX-I/OM input socket).

Please also observe which signals are available at which scart socket of the TV or how the scart sockets need to be switched.

If necessary, consult the instruction manual of your TV.

O'RGB'

Depending on the TV you are using, switching between the 'RGB' and the 'Video(CVBS/FBAS)' signal is done automatically. If the picture scrolls to the side or colour quality problems appear on some TVs when the setting is 'RGB', you must select 'CVBS only'.

O'S-Video'

Only the S-Video signal will be processed at both scart sockets ( EXT1 TO TV-I/ON output socket and EXT2

AUX-I/OM input socket).

In case the scart socket of the TV is not suitable for S-VIDEO (Y/C) signals, you will only see a black&white picture, although the recording will be made in colour.

Moreover, only the video (CVBS, FBAS) signal will be used for recordings via the EXT1 TO TV-I/ON scart socket.

Please observe that when making recordings from a video

recorder that transmits only video (CVBS/FBAS) signals through the scart cable, recordings via scart socket EXT2 AUX-I/OM may be made in black and white.

Therefore, use this setting with caution.

O'CVBS only'

Only the video (CVBS/FBAS) signal is transmitted, regardless of the video signals (RGB, Y/C) at the scart sockets. This setting is selected automatically when no 'RGB' or 'S-VIDEO' signal is detected at the scart socket.

When selecting the settings 'S-Video' or 'CVBS only', the RGB signal is switched off.

The 'RGB' signal is switched off.

O'S-video + YPbPr'

Component Video (YUV) and S-Video(Y/C).

GUIDE Plus+® menus only available on YUV ouput sockets.

O'CVBS + YPbPr'

Component Video (YUV) and Video (FBAS/CVBS). GUIDE Plus+® menus only available on YUV ouput sockets.

With all other settings, the signal is switched off at the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT R sockets. This will also be displayed as information on the screen.

Sound settings

You can select the settings in this menu depending on which audio outputs are used.

If you only use the analog audio output (red and white socket AUDIO OUT L/R Q ), select the setting 'Off' in the 'Digital output' menu.

'Digital output'

You can select one of the following settings for devices that are connected to the COAX OUT S or OPTICAL OUT U sockets:

O'All'

Dolby Digital and DTS signals are fed unaltered to the digital output. MPEG-2 multi-channel signals are converted to PCM (Pulse Code Modulation).

For receivers/amplifiers with digital multi decoders.

O'PCM only'

Digital and MPEG-2 multi-channel signals are converted to PCM (Pulse Code Modulation). For receivers/amplifiers

without digital multi decoders .

O'Off'

Digital output switched off.

For devices with analogue audio input.

'Analogue output'

You can select one of the following settings for devices that are connected to the analog audio output ( AUDIO OUT L/R Q ):

O'Stereo'

For devices without DolbySurround or TruSurround. Use this setting if the DVD recorder is only connected to a stereo TV.

O'Surround'

Dolby Digital and MPEG-2 multi-channel are mixed down to a Dolby Surround-compatible two-channel output signal.

For devices with Dolby Surround / Pro Logic Decoder .

'Night mode'

Night mode optimises the sound for playback at low volume. You are therefore less likely to disturb your neighbours. This only works with Dolby Digital audio on DVD video discs.
