The IN VIDEO FORMAT line is an informa- tional display of the resolution of the incoming video stream, and may not be adjusted.

The IN VIDEO COPY PROT line is an informational display that shows whether or not an incoming video signal contains copy protection encoding, and may not be adjusted.

The VIDEO PROCESS line is an informa- tional display of the setting made in the IN/OUT SETUP menu indicating how incoming video is processed for the input being viewed, and may not be adjusted.

The COMPONENT OUT line is an informa- tional display of whether or not the Component Video outputs are ENABLED or OFF, based on the input signal type and resolution, and whether or not the incoming video signal has HDCP content protection. It may not be adjusted.

The S-VIDEO OUT line is an informational display of whether or not the S-video outputs are available at a 576i resolution (or OFF), based on the input signal type and resolution and whether or not the incoming video signal has HDCP content protection. It may not be adjusted.

The DISPLAY INTER line allows you to choose between an ANALOG video output default value and an HDMI/DVI output by press- ing the ‹ /› Navigation Button EF to make the desired selection. When the setting is ANALOG, the HDMI output is placed in a Standby mode so that it automatically switches to HDMI when an HDMI signal is detected. If a high-definition input source is not HDCP-content- protected, it may be output through the compo- nent jacks; otherwise, it will be sent only to the HDMI outputs. The HDMI/DVI setting routes all converted or processed video to the HDMI outputs.

The HDMI AUDIO OUT line allows you to choose whether a two-channel downmix of the audio that accompanies the selected source is sent over the HDMI connection (YES) at the maximum bit rate the display’s audio system is capable of handling, or not (NO). To change the setting, press the ‹ /› Navigation Button EF to make the desired selection.

When required adjustments have been made for this input, or if no adjustment is required, press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button EF until the on-screen cursor is pointing to BACK TO MASTER MENU and then press Set Button FQ to return to the main menu screen.

Audio Setup

This menu allows you to configure the tone con- trols. If you do not wish to change any of those settings at this time, proceed to the next menu screen. However, to make configuration changes to those parameters, make certain that the MASTER MENU is on the screen with the ➞ cursor pointing to the AUDIO SETUP line, and press the Set Button FQ. The AUDIO SETUP menu (Figure 12) will appear.

The first line controls whether or not the bass/treble tone controls are in the signal path. The normal default is for them to be in-line, but if you wish to remove them from the circuit for “flat” response, first make certain that the ➞ cursor is pointing to the TONE line on the menu and press the ‹ / › Navigation Button EF so that OUT is highlighted in reverse video.

If you wish to leave the tone controls in the sig- nal path, the amount off boost or cut for bass and treble may be adjusted by pressing the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button EF so that the

➞cursor is next to the line for the setting you wish to adjust. Next, press the ‹ / › Navigation Button EF until the desired setting is shown.

When all desired changes have been made on this menu, press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button EF so that the ➞ cursor is next to the BACK T O MAIN MENU line and press the Set Button FQ.
