Still Mode

GB

The Still Mode feature lets you set the default method of freezing a single image on the screen during DVD playback.

How it Works

Because each frame of a standard NTSC video image is made up of two fields (odd and even scan lines), there are two ways to freeze an image during DVD playback:

• Frame - Freezes both the odd and even scan lines that make up a single frame. Excellent for graphic detail, but may cause jitter in high motion scenes.

• Field - Doubles either the odd or the even scan lines. Prevents jitter, but at the sacrifice of fine detail.

1 Open “SETUP MENU”

Press the SETUP button.

2 Select “DVD Setup”

Using the up/down, move the selection arrow to “DVD Setup,” then push right to select.

3 Set “Still Mode”

Move the selection arrow to “Still Mode,” then push right to select from the following options:

Auto - Selects Still Mode automatically by detecting motion in the scene.

Frame – Select if you want to see fine text more clearly than in Auto mode.

Field – Select if the screen shakes in Auto mode.

Black Level

The Black Level feature adjusts the reference level of black in the video signal to one of two choices:

• High - Standard NTSC black level. Yields consistent contrast through all sources.

• Low - Enhanced black level, for increased contrast during DVD playback.

1 Open “SETUP MENU”

Press the SETUP button.

2 Select “DVD Setup”

Using the up/down, move the selection arrow to “DVD Setup,” then push right to select.

3 Set “Black Level”

Move the selection arrow to “Black Level,” then push right to select from the following options:

• High - Standard NTSC reference Black Level for consistent brightness/contrast across all sources.

Low – Enhanced Black Level for increased brightness/contrast when viewing DVDs.

Audio Language

GB

Follow these steps to choose your preferred language for DVD audio soundtracks. The DVD-VCR will automatically default to the language you choose if it is available on a given DVD.

1 Open “SETUP MENU”

Press the SETUP button.

2 Select “DVD Setup”

Using the up/down, move the selection arrow to “DVD Setup,” then push right to select.
