Factory/DVD Animation

For some DVDs with computer animation, the Faroudja patented chroma edge processing cir- cuits can be turned off. For most sources, the Factory setting should be selected. These settings can be stored as a User Preset.

IR REMOTE AND OSD OPERATION

There are four ways to control the unit: from the front panel, with the remote control buttons, using the On-Screen-Display with the remote and via RS232. Controlling from the front panel or the remote requires cycling through the available func- tions. If direct access IR control is needed, the unit can teach learning remotes via the IR flasher. See the IR Setup section.

When the unit first powers up it will go through an initializing procedure and then display the output resolution.

The remote control allows for easy operation by simple navigation through the On Screen Display (OSD)menus. Repeated Pressing of a button tog- gles through the available choices.
