PCINEMAc,e (PureCinema)

What it does

This setting optimizes the picture for film material when the video output is set to progressive. Usually set to AUTO; but try switching to OFF if the picture appears unnatural.

Additionally, certain PAL movie video (576i, 25 frames/second STB video output or DVD disc playback, etc.) that contain film progressive material cannot be recognized as such by this receiver. In such instances, if you choose PAL, PureCinema mode is activated.

a.• When set to a resolution with which the TV (monitor) is not compatible, no picture is output. Also, in some cases no picture will be output due to copyright protection signals. In this case, change the setting.

•When AUTO is selected, the resolution is selected automatically according to the capacity of the TV (monitor) connected by HDMI. When PURE is selected, the signals are output with the same resolution as when input (At this time, video signals are only output from the same type of terminals to which they were input).

•When a display is connected by HDMI, if this is set to something other than PURE and 480i/576i analog signals are input, 480p/576p signals are output from the component output terminals.

b.• If the image doesn’t match your monitor type, adjust the aspect ratio on the source component or on the monitor.
