Remote type
This informs the player which type of remote control you
are using, so that the player can take into account the slight
differences between the remote types. For ARCAM remote
controls, the remote type is always written on the front of the
remote control, normally at the bottom of the unit.
CR-314
This selects the grey ARCAM CR-314 remote control
CR-415
This selects the grey ARCAM CR-415 remote control
CR-80
This selects the black ARCAM CR-80 learning remote
control
CR-9000
This selects the black ARCAM CR-9000 learning remote
control
Other
A non-ARCAM learning remote control is being used
It is important to choose ‘Other’ if the learning remote in use
does not support RC-5 ‘toggle bits’.
OSD (On Screen Display)
This setting controls the ‘pop up’ messages that appear on
screen.
On
Pop-up messages are enabled
Off
No pop-up messages, only menus when required.
Certain messages, such as ‘No Disc’ are always shown
regardless of how this is set.
Priority
This item is not applicable for the DV78, and should not be
changed.
Video setup
TV shape
This needs to be set correctly for the type of TV you have and
the type of display you prefer.
4:3
Letterbox
Use this setting if you have a conventional 4:3 TV, and
you prefer to view wide screen movies in letterbox
format (with black bars at the top and bottom)
4:3
Panscan
Use this setting if you have a conventional 4:3 TV, and
you prefer to view wide screen movies in Pan & Scan
format (cropping the sides of the image)
16:9
Use this setting if you have a wide screen
(16:9) TV. Material in 16:9 format is displayed so as to
ll the screen.
If you have a 4:3 TV and you have set a preference for Panscan,
it does not mean you will always see movies in this format,
since the Panscan display must be supported on that disc.
TV System
This is set at the factory to be appropriate for the type of TV
used in your country. Should you need to change this setting,
the options are explained below.
Auto
The video output is taken from that recorded on the
disc. When no disc is playing, the logo screen is
displayed using the standard of the last disc played.
NTSC
NTSC is always used as the video standard. Note that
PAL discs are converted to NTSC, but this causes
some reduction in the quality of the video output (and
may cause the video to become ‘jerky’). This is the best
setting to use if your TV can accept only NTSC video
(this is generally the case in North America); better
results are obtained by using ‘Auto’, but your TV must
be able to support PAL.
PAL
PAL is always used as the video standard. Note that
NTSC discs are converted to PAL, but this causes some
reduction in the quality of the video output (and may
cause the video to become ‘jerky’). Better results will be
obtained by using ‘Auto’, but your TV must be able to
support NTSC.
Progressive
Off
The video output will always be interlaced (standard
denition video). Use this setting if your display device
does not support progressive scan.
Auto (525)
The component video output will switch to progressive
scan mode whenever the output standard is NTSC
(525). This would be whenever an NTSC disc is played,
or whenever ‘TV System’ is set to NTSC. The video
output will revert to interlaced (standard denition) for
PAL (625) modes. Use this setting only if your display
device supports progressive scan.
On
(625/525)
The component video output will output progressive
scan video for both PAL and NTSC discs. Use this
setting only if your TV supports progressive scan in
both PAL and NTSC formats.
NOTE: When progressive scan is active, the component
video output will be in progressive mode, and the other video
outputs (composite and S-Video) are muted.
Since progressive scan must be component, not RGB, the
‘HQ video setting’ will be forced to component if progressive
scan is enabled.
Not all displays support progressive scan. If you accidentally
enable progressive scan and your display does not support
it, you will be unable to view the picture from the DVD player,
including the on screen display required to change the video
settings. To revert to interlaced mode without using the on
screen menus, press and hold the STOP button on the front
panel at any time. The video mode will revert to interlaced
mode after the button has been held in for ve seconds.
HQ Video (High Quality Video)
This setting controls the type of video given out on the
Component and SCART video outputs. It is set at the factory to
be appropriate for the type of TV used in your country, so it is
best not to change it. If it gets set incorrectly then the picture
shown on the TV will have strange colouring.
Component
The video output on both the Component video (3
phonos) and SCART is Y, Pb, Pr component video.
RGB SCART
The video output on both the Component video (3
phonos) and SCART is RGB. Note that if you are using
RGB output via phono connectors, you will also need
to use COMPOSITE as a sync signal.
