SYSTEM SETUP
normal for surround speakers to operate only
occasionally. Artificially increasing the volume to
the rear speakers may destroy the illusion of an
enveloping sound field that duplicates the way
you hear sound in a movie theater or concert
hall.
The default settings of the DVD player is 0 dB for
all channels. In case you feel adjustments are
necessary in your setup, we advise you to make
the adjustments using the internal test tone
generator.
Once the cursor is moved to any of the speaker
level icons, the test noise will be heard from the
corresponding speaker. If this is not the case
please check whether the loudspeaker is con-
nected to the correct loudspeaker output on the
rear panel. The speaker level can be adjusted by
pressing ENTER and selecting an appropriate
level indicated in the Lower Menu Line. The test
noise will stop as soon as the cursor is moved
away from any speaker level icon.
Video Settings
Figure 8
The Video Setting Submenu contains the
following settings. Follow the explanations in the
Upper Menu Line on the bottom of your screen
to change the settings.
Aspect Ratio:
This step selects the TV aspect
ratio, conventional screen shape (4:3) or
widescreen (16:9), according to your TV. If you
have a conventional 4:3 TV that can (automati-
cally) switch to show a 16:9 format, you should
select 16:9 rather than 4:3.
TV Standard:
Sets the output video format i.e.
NTSC or PAL, of the HS Controller. If you have a
multi standard TV, we recommend the AUTO
setting for optimal picture quality.
Scan Type:
Sets the component video output to
Interlace or Progressive. Before changing the
setting to Pro gressive, make sure that your video
display connected to the component output is
capable of handling pro gressive scan signals. As
soon as you select progressive scan the scan
type, the Video Output will automatically change
to Component. All other out puts, composite
video on cinch, SCART and S-Video, will be kept
Interlaced. The interlaced composite and S-Video
outputs remain active for connection to a second
(interlaced) video display.
Video Output:
Sets the video output type to
Scart or Component. Scart will be used for most
TV’s. Component will be used for most LCD,
Plasma and projectors.
Scart Output:
Selects which kind of video out-
put signals will be routed over the scart. RGB will
be used for most TV’s as it provides the best
picture quality.
Video Mode:
This setting affects only the
Component Video Outputs, and it controls how
the video signals are optimized for progressive
scan display. In most cases, the “automatic”
mode is your best choice, as it senses whether
the disc being played was originally recorded on
video or shot on film. However, in some cases
you may wish to compensate for errors in the
disc authoring that occur when the frame rate is
not properly maintained when films are
converted to video. Three choices are available:
• Auto:
This is the recommended setting, as it
lets the HS System analyze the signals from the
DVD and adjust the output accordingly.
• Movie:
Choose this option for optimal play-
back of material that was shot on film, even
though you are viewing it on video via a DVD.
• Video:
Choose this option for optimal playback
of material that was shot directly to video, such
as concerts and sports programming.
Video Resolution:
Selects the resolution of the
video output. When the HS system is connected
to either one of the Composite, S-Video or SCART
connectors, this setting should be left in
Standard.
When you connect your HS system via a digital
HDMI or Component Video connection, the
preferred setting is either 720p (progressive scan
with 720 lines) or 1080i (interlaced with 1080
lines).
If you select any of the 720p or 1080i high
resolution formats, all analog video outputs
(Composite, S-Video and Scart) will become
temporarily in-active.
In order to watch low resolution formats again,
press the
Video Output Button
on the
remote control.
Please note that with Component Video non-
encrypted movies will be upscaled to 720p.
Encrypted movies will not play in 720p and will
have to played back on standard progressive
scan component or HDMI.
Video Adjustment
Figure 9
The Video Adjustment Submenu contains access
to the Test Screen. First adjust the video display
device (TV) with the help of the Test Screen. After
that the output settings of the player can be fine-
tuned with the Color, Contrast, Brightness, Tint
and Black Level settings. In order to change the
settings, move the cursor to the “+“ or “-“ icon
on the same line as the setting. Once one of the
icons is highlighted, pressing ENTER will increase
or decrease the value of the setting, as will be
shown in the bar behind the setting.
