Video Settings
The Video Setting Submenu contains the follow- ing settings. Follow the explanations in the Upper Menu Line on the bottom of your screen to change the settings.
Aspect Ratio: This step selects the TV aspect ratio, conventional screen shape (4:3) or widescreen (16:9), according to your TV. If you have a conventional 4:3 TV that can (automati- cally) switch to show a 16:9 format, you should select 16:9 rather than 4:3.
TV Standard: Sets the output video format i.e. NTSC or PAL, of the HS Controller. If you have a multi standard TV, we recommend the AUTO setting for optimal picture quality.
Scan Type: Sets the component video output to Interlace or Progressive. Before changing the setting to Progressive, make sure that your video display connected to the component output is capable of handling progressive scan signals. As soon as you select progressive scan the scan type, the Video Output will automatically change to Component. All other outputs, composite video on cinch, SCART and
Video Output: Sets the video output type to Scart or Component. Scart will be used for most TV’s. Component will be used for most LCD, Plasma and projectors.
Scart Output: Selects which kind of video out- put signals will be routed over the scart. RGB will be used for most TV’s as it provides the best picture quality.

However, in some cases you may wish to compensate for errors in the disc authoring that occur when the frame rate is not properly maintained when films are converted to video. Three choices are available:
•Auto: This is the recommended setting, as it lets the HS System analyze the signals from the DVD and adjust the output accordingly.
•Movie: Choose this option for optimal play- back of material that was shot on film, even though you are viewing it on video via a DVD.
•Video: Choose this option for optimal playback of material that was shot directly to video, such as concerts and sports programming.
Video Resolution: Selects the resolution of the video output. When the HS system is connected to either one of the Composite,
