3.2Video and audio settings

You have to configure the video and audio settings appropriately to your television set and other appliances.

Select the System Setting > A/V Output Setting menu. You should see a screen like the left figure.

3.2.1 Colour model

Through the TV SCART connector, the digital receiver is able to output video in various colour models. If you have the digital receiver linked to your television via this connector, you should set the SCART Output option to your desired colour model. If you have connected via the RCA connector labeled VIDEO on the back panel, you do not have to set this option because the digital receiver outputs CVBS video through the RCA connector independent of the SCART connector.

However, if you have connected via the S-VIDEO connector, you have to set this option to S-Video because the output through S-Video connector comes from the SCART interface. Similarly, if you have done by YUV connectors (Y, Pb and Pr), you have to set this option to YUV for the same reason.

It is known in general that the RGB colour model provides the best video quality with little difference from the YUV colour model but the CVBS colour model does the least. So RGB would be most desirable for this option.
