HDMI Deep Colour (HDMI 2)– Select the Deep Colour mode for the HDMI 2 output. The available options are the same as those for HDMI 1.

Note: Since the Deep Colour feature is OPTIONAL and may not be supported by all TVs, enabling Deep Colour while connected to a TV without this feature may result in no effect or no video.

At the time of writing, no BD discs are yet encoded with Deep Colour. Demo Mode – To enable a special split-screen demonstration mode. This is designed for the demonstration of the QDEO video processing technology. It can also be used as an aid for setting picture control adjustments for Noise Reduction, Colour Enhancement and Contrast Enhancement. It should NOT be used for normal movie watching. The available options are:

On – The video screen will be split in half. The left side shows video without the help of QDEO video processing, and the right side demonstrates the result of QDEO video processing.

Off (default) – Normal viewing mode.

Note: The demo mode is cancelled automatically whenever the player is turned off.

Video Only (HDIM 1) – To choose whether to only send video signal (no audio signal) to HDIM 1 terminal or not. The available options are:

Yes – Only video signal is sent to HDMI 1 terminal. This can be useful if you use HDMI 1 only for video display, no need to lower the volume or mute the HDTV connected to it.

No (default)– Both video and audio signals are sent to HDMI 1 terminal.

10. Display Options

To configure the options for displaying on-screen information. The following display options are available:

Subtitle Shift– To set the display position for subtitles. When the “Subtitle Shift” is set at 0 (default), subtitles are displayed at the original position as specified on the disc. When it is set at a value between 1 and 5, subtitles are shifted up. When it is set at a value between -1 and -5, subtitles are shifted down. This feature is helpful for instance to customers using a 2.35:1 “Constant Image Height” video projection system. Subtitles can be shifted to the active video area so they do not get cut off.

OSD Position – To set the display position for on-screen display (OSD). When the “OSD Position” is set at 0, OSD is shown at the top and bottom of the video screen. When it is set at a value between 1 and 5, OSD is shifted towards the vertical center line of the video screen. Similar to the subtitle shift setting above, the “OSD Position” feature is helpful to customers using a 2.35:1 “Constant Image Height” video projection system.

OSD Mode – To select how long the on-screen display information, such as elapsed or remaining time, stays on the TV screen. The available options are:

Normal On-screen display information stays on the TV screen until the user cancels it.

Silent On-screen display information shows on the TV screen for a few seconds and then disappears. The front panel display still maintains the selected display information.

Remaining On-screen display information stays on the TV screen until the user cancels it. By default display remaining time instead of elapsed time.

Angle Mark (on/off) – To turn on/off the display of an angle mark when a DVD or Blu-ray Disc with multiple available angles is played. Keeping the angle mark off avoids distraction from normal movie watching.

PIP Mark (on/off)– To turn on/off the display of a Picture-in-Picture mark when a Blu-ray Disc with secondary video is played. Keeping the PIP mark off avoids distraction from normal movie watching.

SAP Mark (on/off) – To turn on/off the display of a Secondary Audio Program mark when a Blu-ray Disc with secondary video and audio is played. Keeping the SAP mark off avoids distraction from normal movie watching.

Screen Saver– To turn on/off the screen saver function. The screen saver is designed to minimize burn-in concerns for plasma and CRT display devices. The available options are:

On – After about 3 minutes of inactivity, the player will show an animated Cambridge Audio logo moving on a black background. This allows most areas of the screen to rest and gives all areas an equal opportunity to refresh.

Off – The screen saver will not be activated. Use this option if your TV does not have a burn-in issue.

Energy Saver – Video output will be turned off after 3 minutes of inactivity. Many projectors and LCD TVs will go into a standby or sleep mode and turn off their projection lamp or LCD backlight lamp, thus saving energy and prolonging the lamp life. When you press any button on the remote control or the player’s front panel, the screen saver will be cancelled and video output will be restored. If your TV is already in standby or sleep mode, you may need to wake up the TV by pressing a button on its remote or control panel.
