3.SETUP MENU continued …

Highlighting ‘a. VIDEO OUT CONFIG 1’ in menu 1 and then pressing SELECT displays this menu:

1a. VIDEO OUT CONFIG 1

a. S-VIDEO OSD: NTSC

b. PREFERRED: HDMI

c. RESL'N: 1280x720p/60

d. COLOR SPACE: Auto

e. DATA: Auto

f.LETTERBOX: Black

g. SYNC: Normal

h.COMPNT2 OUT: Passthru

Items a. through g. pertain to MAIN output. Using item h. you can also configure the second Component video output for ZONE2 video switching.

Changes in this menu do not take place immediately to prevent loss of video output as you scroll through settings. Once you leave this menu, it asks for confirmation – use the ￿￿buttons to change to ‘Yes’, then press SELECT. To put a change into effect immediately, press SELECT, then confirm.

Where possible, disable all video processing in your source components so that the AVM 50’s advanced processing can be used to its potential.

For standard-def DVD, set the player’s output to 480i/576i, because if its output is progressive-scan, you will be looking at the player’s deinterlacing, not the AVM 50’s. If the player does not allow 480i/576i HDMI output, using 480i/576i component video output may be best. If the player can be set to put out both 480i (NTSC) and 576i (PAL) according to source material, you can use this setting since the AVM 50 accepts both formats.

If your HD cable/satellite receiver has ‘native’ mode where output resolution follows each station’s resolution, use it. If not, set the receiver’s output according to the HD channels that you watch most.

HD material on disc is natively 1080p/24 or 1080i/60 – if your player has a ‘source direct’ mode where output resolution and refresh rate follow that of the source material, you can use it with Configuration 1 resolution set to, for example, 1920x1080p/60 and Configuration 2 set to 1920x1080p/24.

If your display allows, set it to ‘1:1 pixel’ or ‘dot-for-dot’ mode. The display’s stretch modes, including edge cropping, should not be used if avoidable since they rescale the image unnecessarily.

S-Video On-Screen Display Format:

Use the ￿￿buttons to select NTSC or PAL, whichever matches your display. If your display supports both formats, try NTSC first.

Preferred Video Output:

Use the ￿￿buttons to select Component or HDMI – the video will be optimized for that type. The other output may or may not produce a usable picture – this depends on the remaining settings. HDMI-only settings in the rest of this menu will not be shown if Component is selected. If your settings apply to both HDMI and Component output, both will work simultaneously unless the source material’s copy protection prevents this.

Output Resolution:

Input from S-Video, Component, and HDMI is scaled to this resolution for Component and HDMI output. If interlaced to progressive scan conversion is in effect, it is uncompromisingly pixel-adaptive even with 1080i, and the same robust film mode detection applies as with standard-definition interlaced input.
