Explanation

Component Video Out

Interlace •

Select if your monitor/TV is not compatible with progressive-scan

 

 

video.

 

 

 

 

Progressive

Select if your monitor/TV is progressive-scan compatible. Check the

 

 

operating instructions that came with your monitor/TV if you’re not

 

 

sure.

For Component Video Out to be effective, the AV1 Out setting (see below) must be set to something other than RGB.

AV1 Out

Video •

Sets the AV1(RGB)-TVSCART output to standard composite video

 

 

(compatible with all TVs).

 

 

 

 

S-Video

Sets the AV1(RGB)-TVSCART output to S-video. Recommended if you

 

 

are using a long SCART cable.

 

 

 

 

RGB

Sets the AV1(RGB)-TVSCART output to RGB. Good quality but check

 

 

your TV for compatibility.

If you choose a setting that is incompatible with your TV you may not be able to see any picture at all. In this case either switch off and reconnect using the supplied video cable, or reset the recorder (see Resetting the recorder on page 111).

The Component Video Out setting (see above) has no effect when AV1 Out is set to RGB.

AV2/L1 In

Video •

Sets the AV2/AUTO START REC (INPUT 1/DECODER) SCART input to

 

 

standard composite video.

 

 

 

 

S-Video

Sets the AV2/AUTO START REC (INPUT 1/DECODER) SCART input to

 

 

S-video.

 

 

 

 

RGB

Sets the AV2/AUTO START REC (INPUT 1/DECODER) SCART input to

 

 

RGB.

 

 

 

 

Decoder

Use this setting if you connected a decoder to the AV2/AUTO START

 

 

REC (INPUT 1/DECODER) SCART connector. For scrambled channels,

 

 

make sure that the channel Decoder setting is set to On. (See Manual

 

 

CH Setting on page 93.)

 

 

 

NTSC on PAL TV

On •

NTSC discs will play correctly on PAL-only TVs.

 

 

 

 

Off

Use if your TV is already NTSC-compatible.

Many recent PAL TVs are compatible with NTSC input and so this setting can be switched off. Check the operating instructions that came with your TV. See also About NTSC on PAL TV on page 99 for related information.

Audio In Settings

Nicam Select

NICAM •

Record the NICAM audio in a NICAM broadcast.

 

 

 

 

Regular Audio

Record the non-NICAM audio in a NICAM broadcast. (You can still

 

 

switch the audio to record using the AUDIO (SHIFT + 1) button before

 

 

recording.)

 

 

 

Tuner Level

Normal •

Standard setting.

 

 

 

 

Compression

Use if the audio level from the built-in tuner is excessive, causing dis-

 

 

tortion.

 

 

 

External Audio

Stereo •

Select if the audio from the currently selected external input is stan-

 

 

dard stereo.

 

 

 

 

Bilingual

Select if each channel carries a separate soundtrack.

When the external audio is from the DV input, an audio subcode channel within the DV audio tells the recorder whether the audio is stereo or bilingual. This has priority over the setting you make here.
