Getting Started
Setting HDMI resolution may affect the mode of video
output from component jack and the corresponding
setting in the Setup menu. When this recorder and your
TV are connected up by an HDMI cable:
If ‘480p’,
‘720p’ or ‘1080i’ is manually selected or automatically
set by system as the resolution, ‘Video Output’ will
be switched to ‘Progressive’ (progressive scan mode).
If the setting is ‘Auto’ and 480i is the output resolu-
tion, ‘Video Output’ will be ‘Component’ (interlaced
scan mode).
Once the HDMI cable is disconnected, Video Output
will change to ‘Component’ (interlaced scan mode)
if the HDMI resolution is ‘Auto’. Otherwise, Video
Output will be ‘Progressive’.

depending on the disc, the picture may be shown in the 4:3 L.Box
(4:3 Letter Box) mode even if you select the 4:3 Pan (4:3 Pan &
Scan) mode.
Setting Parental Control
Some DVD-Video discs are encoded with a Parental
Management Level(PML) numbered from 0 to 8. You
