24p playback both the source device (e.g., a
To enjoy 24p playback, set the Video Source to HDMI in the Input Config. menu, and set the Output resolution to 1080p (i.e. not to Preferred) in the Video Outputs menu. Also, ensure that the Frame Rate is set to Auto.
Video Outputs
The settings in this menu control the output resolution from the video processor in the unit as well as the operation of the two HDMI outputs.
These settings are applied to all video inputs and are stored in memory and recalled each time the unit is powered up.
NOTE
Important points to remember:
For analogue outputs
The analogue output resolution should be chosen carefully; Composite and
You should also set the frame rate (50Hz Interlaced for PAL, 60Hz Interlaced for NTSC) and the aspect ratio (4:3 standard or 16:9 widescreen) to match your display device. Note that
For HDMI outputs
The output resolution, frame rate and display aspect ratio can be automatically determined by the unit. Alternatively these settings can be manually selected. If you have two HDMI display devices connected, you can also configure which of the two HDMI outputs takes priority.

<Output 1 or Output 2: forces only the named HDMI output to be enabled.
<Output 1 & 2: enables both HDMI outputs simultaneously. In order to do this however, the settings of the unit’s video processor are reduced down to the highest common set that can be supported by both display devices.
Out 1 Resolution – This setting controls the output resolution of HDMI output Out 1. This setting is only
valid if HDMI output is the only active HDMI output at the time.
<The dropdown list shows all the resolutions that the video processor can output. Resolutions that are not supported by the connected display device are greyed out and cannot be selected.
<Preferred: sets the Out 1 resolution to be the preferred resolution that is requested by the display device. This is often the highest resolution the display device can receive.
Out 1 Frame Rate – This setting controls the output frame rate of HDMI output Out 1. This setting is only
valid if HDMI output is the only active HDMI output at the time.
<The dropdown list shows all the frame rates that the video processor can output. Frame rates that are not supported by the connected display device at the above resolution are greyed out and cannot be selected.
<Auto sets the Out 1 frame rate to be the preferred frame rate that is requested by the display device for the currently used resolution.
Lipsync 1 – (Information only) Displays how much lip sync is automatically applied to HDMI output Out 1 to compensate for video processing delays in the attached display device. Not all display devices support this function.
Out 2 Resolution – This setting controls the output resolution of HDMI output Out 2. This setting is only
valid if HDMI output is the only active HDMI output at the time.
<The dropdown list shows all the resolutions that the AVR600 or AV888 video processor can output. Resolutions that are not supported by the connected display device are greyed out and cannot be selected.
<Preferred: sets the Out 2 resolution to be the preferred resolution that is requested by the display device. This is often the highest resolution the display device can receive.
Out 2 Frame Rate – This setting controls the output frame rate of HDMI output Out 2. This setting is only
valid if HDMI output is the only active HDMI output at the time.
<The dropdown list shows all the frame rates that the video processor can output. Frame rates that are not supported by the connected display device at the above resolution are greyed out and cannot be selected.
<Auto: sets the Out 2 frame rate to be the preferred frame rate that is requested by the display device for the currently used resolution.
Lipsync 2 – (Information only) Displays how much lip sync is automatically applied to HDMI output Out 2 to compensate for video processing delays in the attached display device. Not all display devices support this function.
