OSD POPUP (Volume, Source, and Mode)

When

enabled, a “pop-up” message appears on your TV any time the volume (including mute or on-the-fly trims), source, or surround mode are changed. The OSD circuit in the DMC-1 is not switched into the video path unless called up by an OSD action. This allows for the best possible video reproduction

quality. When the OSD display activates, it is normal to see a slight flicker on the screen. This menu allows you to choose which, if any features, are enabled for OSD features after initial setup of the DMC-1.

Note: The OSD “pop-up” does not function on the

component video output. This is intentional, as we feel that the OSD insertion circuitry will degrade the performace of the component video circuitry due to the ultra wide bandwidth requirement for optimal component

video performace.

VIDEO DEFAULT

Select the video output where the“pop-up”text appears, either S or composite video, but not both. The full OSD is not affected by this menu item, as it is available on both.

VID2/MON2 OUT

VID2: the VCR2/MON2 outputs can be used for recording to a second VCR. There is no OSD, and the output is muted when VID2 is chosen as an input (to prevent feedback).

MON2: the VCR2/MON2 output becomes a second monitor output (with OSD) for another TV. It will not mute when VID2 is chosen.

VIDEO DELAY

This adjustment is useful if you have an external video processor in your system. Video signals may become delayed with respect to the audio signals. Although it is called Video Delay, it is actually a delay adjustment of the audio signals relative to the video signals.

Use the remote’s joystick pad to adjust the delay in one millisecond steps. An equal amount of delay time is added to all audio channels.

Note: The speakers keep their relative time delay settings which the DMC-1 calculates from the Speaker Position Menu settings. The video delay is just added on top. Leave the video delay at zero if you do not have an external video processor or if you detect any noticeable synchronization problems with dialogue.
