RGB – Use this setting if colours appear overly rich on the Full Range RGB setting.

Component (12-bit) – Outputs 12-bit component video format. If your connected device is compatible with this setting, 12-bit output provides very fine gradations of colour (if it is not compat- ible with this setting, the setting automat- ically reverts to Component).

Component – Outputs 8-bit component video format. This is the standard setting for HDMI-compatible devices.

Video Memory

These settings allow you to change the appearance of the HDMI video presentation. You can also access these options from the Video Adjust menu (see Video Adjust on page 55 for more on this).

Direct – The picture appears simply according to how the source was encoded.

Natural – Edges are softer making this setting good for movies.

Enhanced – Edges are sharper making this setting ideal for animation and mate- rial with computer generated effects.

Memory1–3– Use for saving your own presets (see Creating your own presets on page 55 for more on this

Audio

If the monitor or device you have connected using HDMI is not compatible with compressed multi-channel formats, you should set this to Linear PCM, otherwise set to Auto.

Linear PCM – All audio signals are output as linear PCM.

70

Auto – Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG sources are processed according to how they were encoded, and linear PCM sources are heard with no processing.

Even with Auto selected, if the monitor or device you have connected using HDMI is not compatible with multi-channel formats, the audio signal will be output as linear PCM.

It is not possible to output SACD from the HDMI connection.

If necessary, sources with high sample rates (such as DVD-Audio 88.2/96/176.4/ 192 kHz sources) will be downsampled to match the sampling rate of your connected HDMI component.

When set to PCM Playback, playback is opti- mized for standard audio CDs. You can also play DTS CDs, however you may notice some noise when a DTS CD starts playing. This is not a malfunction.

When set to DTS CD Playback, playback is optimized for DTS CDs. In this mode you cannot play standard audio CDs through the analog outputs. Change the setting back to PCM Playback to play standard CDs.

The i.LINK audio output is not affected by this setting.
