Resolution to Display: Select the highest resolution that your TV can show. If you use HDMI, resolution selection happens automatically. If you use analog signals, you must choose the proper resolution. Note: if you choose a resolution that is higher than your screen can show, the picture disappears. In this case, wait for approx. 10 seconds, as the AVR returns to the previous resolution if the new one is not confirmed within this time. Default resolution is 576i, which is the maximum that can be transmitted by the simplest video connection, Composite/CVBS.
Default Surround Mode
In normal operation, when the AVR senses a Dolby Digital or DTS digital audio data stream, it will automatically switch the appropriate default surround mode, with the AVR responding to the data flags that are encoded on the DVD disc or in the digital video broadcast. In most cases, this is the correct mode, but you may have a particular preference for the mode you wish to hear when Dolby Digital or DTS is present. The AVR allows you to set the unit so that it will either respond to the default or switch to your desired mode.
