On-Screen Displays (OSD)

You can display the operation information for this unit on a video monitor. If you display the SET MENU and DSP sound field program parameter settings on a screen, it is much easier to see the available options and parameters than it is by reading this information on the front panel display.

If a video source is being reproduced, the OSD is superimposed over the image.

If a video source is not being reproduced (or the power of the source equipment is off), the OSD is shown on a blue background.

2Press ON SCREEN on the remote control repeatedly to change the display mode.

The OSD mode changes in the following order: Full Display, Short Display, and Display Off.

Caution:

If you choose a video input source that has equipment connected to both the S VIDEO IN and composite VIDEO IN jacks, and both the S VIDEO OUT and composite VIDEO OUT jacks are connected to a video monitor, the video signal is output to both the S VIDEO OUT and VIDEO OUT jacks. However, the OSD is carried only on the S-video signal. If no video signal is input, the OSD is carried on both the S-video and composite video signals.

If your video monitor is connected only to the COMPONENT VIDEO terminals of this unit, the OSD is not shown. Make sure to connect your video monitor to the COMPONENT VIDEO terminal and either VIDEO or S VIDEO terminals if you would like to see the OSD.

Playing back video software that has an anti-copy signal or video signals with a lot of noise may produce unstable images.
