In the world of video a whole series of different v		ideo
normshasbecomeestablished.Themostimportantar		e
Standard Video(also known as FBAS, CVBS or Com
posite), S-Video (also known as Y/C or SVHS), and
RGB (Red/Green/Blue component video). The	K6 sup

To ensure that you obtain firstclass picture quali	ty it is
essentialtosetthesamevideonormfortheTVset,		the
K6 and any source devices (SAT receiver etc.) con
nected to it. Some TV sets also support the combine		d
use of several norms (e.g. RGB and CVBS or SVideo
andCVBS).
To avoid compatibility problems, and to ensure that		all
source devices and onscreen menus are displayed
correctlyonyourTVscreen,werecommendthatyou		use
oneofthefollowingconfigurations.

1. Standard Video Configuration

This configuration is supported by practically all	AV
devices, and represents the simplest solution (see
tableforsettings).

2.S-Video (Y/C) and Standard Video (CVBS)

ThisconfigurationrequiresaTVsetwithautomatic S Video/CVBSswitching.Sourcedevices which sup portSVideoshouldbesettoSVideo,andanyother source devices to CVBS. In this case the integral DVD player and the SVideo source devices auto matically use the SVideo norm, with its inherently higherquality.

3. RGB and Standard Video (CVBS)

Thisconfigurationprovidesthehighestqualityof all, but does require a TV set with automatic RGB / CVBS switching (RGB priority switching TV sets include this facility). RGBcapable source de vices are switched to RGB mode, and any other source devices to CVBS. In this case the integral DVD player and the RGB source devices automati callyusetheRGBnorm,withitsinherentlyhighqua l ity.
