Setup and Operation

After all cabling is connected and the unit powered on, there are some functional settings 
which need to be made.  These include output resolution, screen and audio/video association 
menu assignments as well as proper color space settings.  Additionally, there are many detailed 
parameters which can be adjusted to taste or to compensate for different sources and/or displays.  
These parameters are grouped within the picture and screen menus.  

The following detailed steps will facilitate easy setup and operation of the KD-VPHD3.

Setup

Configure the functional settings of the KD-VPHD3.  It will help to have a video signal present at 
selected input 

Set desired output resolution

 – Navigate to the ‘Output Resolution’ menu.  Press the left 

or right arrow button repeatedly until the desired resolution is displayed.  These resolutions 
take effect immediately and there is no need to press the ‘select’ button to engage the 
setting.  

Set the A/V associations

 - Each video input is able to be associated with any audio 

input.  Navigate to the ‘A/V Association’ menu until the desired video input is displayed.  
For example, to assign stereo analog input 1 to Component 1, go to ‘A/V Set Component 
1’.  Press the left or right arrow button until Stereo 1 is displayed.  Assignment takes place 
immediately.

Set the intended color space conversion (CSC) for HDMI Input/Output

 – Proper color 

space must be set for HDMI input and output.  The correct setting depends on the source 
and display characteristics.  Navigate to the ‘HDMI In CSC’ or ‘HDMI Out CSC’ menu.  There 
is an ‘auto’ setting in these two menus which can be used most reliably.  Alternatively, it may 
sometimes be necessary to select either RGB or YCbCr color space conversion.  With any 
of the above menus, the correct setting will be apparent when viewing the display, as the 
wrong setting will yield incorrect colors in the image.  In order to determine, with accuracy, 
what the correct settings should be, use the built-in color bar test patterns on the KD-
VPHD3 to assure proper setup.

Set the intended CSC for the analog video output

 – Proper color space must also be 

set for the analog video output.  Navigate to the ‘Analog Out CSC’ menu and select either 
YPbPr or RGB, depending on the requirement of the display.  With the above menu, the 
correct setting will be apparent when viewing the display, as the wrong setting will yield 
incorrect colors in the image.  In order to determine, with accuracy, what the correct settings 
should be, use the built-in color bar test patterns on the KD-VPHD3 to assure proper setup.

Setup the HDMI output port

 – Navigate to the ‘HDMI Out Setup’ menu.  Use the left or 

right arrow button to select either DVI or HDMI.  When using DVI equipped displays and an 
appropriate HDMI to DVI adapter cable out of the KD-VPHD3, set this menu to DVI.  When 
using HDMI equipped screens, set this menu to HDMI.
