Video connection type
The 650R provides transcoding or up/down conversion between Composite,
When you set the Input Video type the 650R also automatically selects a transcoding mode as shown in the table below:

As well as for the main outputs the 650R also transcodes analogue video for the Incognito Ready Zone 2/3 composite outputs (requires Incognito keypads and PSU to be added see later section) so you are free to use any analogue video input variant for sources you wish to see in Zone2/3.
Note: As the 650R is unable to downwards convert HDMI video to analogue video if you wish to make an HDMI connection to the unit for the main outputs and then watch the same source in Zones 2 and/or 3 you should make an additional parallel analogue video connection from the same source for use by Zone2/3.
Nearly all BD/DVD player etc. feature analogue video outputs independent of their HDMI outputs making this a simple connection to make.
This setting can also be changed at any time without using the OSD by pressing the Video Input Type button.
This cycles round the types of analogue video connections that can be made on the 650R:
1.Composite Video (CVBS)
2.
3.Component Video (YCbCr / YPbPr, YUV)
4.HDMI (if assigned)

Dolby Digital Plus
A new encoding scheme based on the original Dolby Digital CODEC, but with enhancements to improve coding efficiency and improve audio quality. Dolby Digital Plus supports 7.1 fully discrete channels compared to Dolby Digitals
5.1(or 6.1 in its EX variant where the 6th channel is matrix encoded). These Dolby Digital Plus bitstreams are not backward compatible with legacy Dolby Digital decoders but require an AV Receiver developed to decode them (such as the 650R) and an HDMI connection as Dolby Digital Plus is currently only transmitted over HDMI. It is however a requirement that any Dolby Digital Plus enabled

DTS-HD High Resolution Audio
Known also as
Dolby Digital
Known also as DD (3/2) or DD 5.1, provides (up to) 5.1 output from suitable encoded Dolby Digital material, with 5 main channels (Front Left, Front Right, Centre, Surround Left, Surround Right) and a Low Frequency Effects Channel for the subwoofer, all discretely encoded. Decoding Dolby Digital requires a Dolby Digital encoded DVD disc and a digital connection from the source equipment (Such as a DVD player) to the 650R.
Note: Dolby Digital and DTS formats can sometimes carry less channels than their maximum such as Dolby Digital (2/0) which means a Dolby Digital encoded signal which is actually only carrying a two channel stereo signal (other channels inactive).
DTS
Known also as DTS (3/2) or DTS 5.1, DTS provides (up to) 5.1 output from suitable encoded DTS material, with 5 main channels (Front Left, Front Right, Centre, Surround Left, Surround Right) and a Low Frequency Effects Channel for the subwoofer, all discretely encoded. Decoding DTS requires a suitably encoded DTS disc and a digital connection from the source equipment to the 650R.
