RDV-1060DVD Audio/Video Player		24
WIDE SCREEN	SUPER SMART: This option is the default
	setting and usually provides the best perfor-
	mance. In addition to activating film or video
	modes based on embedded codes, it analzyes
	the video signal in real-time and uses motion
	adaptive interpolation to optimze the display
	for rapidly moving images or still images.

CAPTIONS

Some discs contain closed captions for the hearing impaired.

ON: Displays the closed captions, if available.

OFF: Disables the closed captions.

Select this option for a wide-screen 16:9 as- pect ratio TV. All aspect-ratio matching and zoom modes are handled by the TV.

PIC MODE

This setting optimizes the Progressive Scan mode. The setting is only in effect if you are using an NTSC TV monitor with the back-panel NTSC/PAL switch set to NTSC. It has no ef- fect unless your monitor accepts progressive scan video signals and the RDV-1060’s Pro- gressive Scan feature is activated.

Progressive scanning combines two interlaced (480i) fields into a single progressive (480p) image for display on HDTV monitors. When source material was originally filmed with video cameras, this is a relatively straightforward digital conversion since video is shot with a frame rate of 60 interlaced frames per sec- ond which is then displayed at 30 progres- sive frames per second. However, material originally shot on film presents a more diffi- cult challenge since it was shot at a frame rate of 24 frames per second. When converted to video with 30 frames per second, this ma- terial may show artifacts on fast motion scenes. An advanced film mode technique known as reverse 3:2 pulldown improves the picture with film-based recordings.

AUTO: The RDV-1060 recognizes the picture type (film source or video source) based on ID codes embedded at the start of the disc.

FILM: This option activates the reverse 3:2 pulldown feature and is optimized for film source images. It should only be used to force the progressive scanning into film mode.

VIDEO: This option is optimized for video source material and is used to force the pro- gressive scanning into video mode.

SMART: The option may be best for discs with mixed film source and video source material that cannot rely on an identifying code inserted at the beginning of the disc. The RDV-1060 senses the type of recording for each scene and adjusts the progressive scanning accord- ingly.

ANGLE MARK

You can choose whether or not to have the

unit display an angle icon in the cor- ner of the screen to inform you when alternate angles are available for a scene on a DVD- Video disc.

ON: Activates the display of the angle icons, indicating that alternate angles are available for the current scene.

OFF: Turns off the display of angle icons.

NOTE: Even with Angle Mark off, the angle icons appear when the ANGLE button on the remote is pressed.

OSD LANG

Use this setting to change the language dis- played in the On-Screen Displays. The default setting is English.

LAST MEMO

When the Last Memo feature is activated, the RDV-1060 remembers the current position on the disc, even when the unit is put in Standby mode. The next time the unit is activated, play- back resumes from the memorized position.

NOTE: The memorized position is cleared if the disc is removed from the player or when the STOP button is pressed twice.

ON: Turns on the Last Memo feature, resum- ing playback from the memorized position after standby off and on.

OFF: Disables the Last Memo feature. Play- back restarts from the beginning of the disc after putting the unit in standby mode and activating it again.

SCREEN SAVER

TV Monitors can be damaged if a static im- age is displayed for a long time. The Screen Saver feature automatically replaces a steady image with a moving image following several minutes of inactivity. The screen saver, when displayed, can be cancelled with the press of any button.

ON: The automatic screen saver function is activated.

OFF: Disables the screen saver function.

DIMMER

The brightness of the front panel display can be reduced to avoid distraction while view- ing in a darkened room.

To adjust, use the CURSOR buttons to select a setting on the vertical slider control on the right side of the menu screen. A setting of “1” is the brightest setting. A setting of “7” is the dimmest setting. The “OFF” setting turns the front panel display off.
