The Format button is intended to allow you to select a video output format that is
compatible with a connected display device. Some televisions may not support all
four video formats listed above. The Format button provides an easy method for
selecting an output format that is compatible with your television.
Operation
The Format button is intended to complement the User Settings Menu (see User
Settings). It is not intended to replace the User Settings Menu. The User Settings
Menu is the preferred method of optimizing the DCH receiver to operate with your
specific television.
If you cannot get a video display when the DCH receiver is connected to your
television via Component Video or HDMI cables, use the Format button to select a
video output format that results in a viewable picture on the display screen. Once a
viewable picture is available, please use the User Settings Menu to optimize the
DCH6416 display settings for your specific television.
Video Format Indicators (Front Panel Display)
The front panel display of the DCH6416 is equipped with four indicators to the right
hand side of the display that are used to indicate the currently selected video output
format on the Component Video (YPbPr) and HDMI outputs. As the Format button is
depressed, the front panel format indicators will change to illuminate the currently
selected video output format in use by the DCH receiver.
Note: There are some scenarios where the DCH receiver does not change the video
output format if the Format button is depressed. In these scenarios, the DCH6416
will flash the currently illuminated video format indicator on the front panel display. If
this should occur, please use the User Settings Menu to make further changes to
the video output settings of the DCH6416 receiver.
Note: Availability of certain features is dependent upon application support.
