Display Settings:

The LinkTheater supports four display modes. Changing the display modes could result in your LinkTheater not operating properly so please make sure you know which modes your TV or monitor supports:

Composite 480i 4x3 – This is the standard mode. It utilized the standard RCA (yellow) video cable or S-Video to transmit video data. 480i means the picture is displayed at the resolution 640x480 interlaced.

Component 480i 4x3 – This mode uses the same resolution as above but transmits the image over the D4/component video connectors. Your TV or monitor must support D4 or component video to use this mode.

Component 480p 4x3 – This is identical to the mode above, requiring a TV or monitor with D4 or component video, however, this mode uses 640x480 progressive resolution. This is the same resolution that a progressive scan DVD player would use. If your TV or monitor doesn’t support 480p/ progressive than this mode will NOT work.

Component 720p 16x9 – This mode utilizes HDTVs at HD resolutions over the D4/component video connectors. This is the highest and recommended setting if your TV or monitor supports it. Most widescreen HDTVs should support this mode. It uses 1280x720 progressive resolution. If your TV or monitor doesn’t support 480p/progressive than this mode will NOT work.

Please check with your TV or monitor’s documentation and specifications to determine which mode you would like to use.

NOTE: The LinkTheater can only transmit on video signal on RCA/composite and S-Video simultaneously. It cannot transmit on D4/component and composite or D4/component and S-Video simultaneously.

To select a mode, press the remote’s ENTER key and use the up and down arrows to select the proper mode. Pressing the ENTER key one more time will instantly switch the device to that mode. This may cause your screen to go completely black. In this case, you will need to switch your TV or monitors TV source or TV mode to component or composite connections (depending on which mode was just selected).

Once the display is visible, you will need to press the 0 key on the remote to verify that you can properly see the display.

NOTE: Pressing the VIDEO button on your remote control will cycle through the four supported display modes.
