TV DISPLAY
Set this parameter to 4:3 PAN SCAN, 4:3 LETTER BOX,
or 16:9 to suit the aspect ratio of your TV screen. The
default setting is 4:3 PAN SCAN.
4:3 PAN SCAN Select this if you have a normal TV. It
will increase the picture height of a
widescreen video to fill the screen, and
selectively cut off the sides to fit your screen.
This is only effective when Pan-Scan
information is recorded on the disc. Otherwise
the picture will be in Letter Box mode.
4:3 LETTER BOX
Select this if you have a normal TV.
It will display widescreen pictures with black
margins above and below.
16:9
Select this if you have a widescreen TV. Note:
depending on the DVD disc format, e.g.
2.35:1, there may still be narrow black
margins above and below the picture.
BLACK LEVEL
(Region 1 units only)
When TV TYPE is set to NTSC, setting BLACK LEVEL
enhancement ON should improve the colour contrast
during playback making blacks darker. The black level
setting has no effect when TV TYPE is set to PAL. The
default BLACK LEVEL enhancement setting is OFF.
CLOSED CAPTION
(Region 1 units only)
Closed captions are data hidden in the video signals of
specific discs, and are invisible without the use of a
special decoder. The difference between subtitles and
captions is that subtitles are intended for hearing
persons and captions are for the hearing impaired.
Subtitles rarely show all of the audio. For example,
captions show sound effects (e.g., “phone ringing” and
“footsteps”), while subtitles do not. Before you select this
function, please ensure that the disc contains closed
caption information and your TV set also supports this
function. The CLOSED CAPTION option may be set ON
or OFF- the default setting is OFF.
PICTURE SETTING
The MXV4000 has three predefined picture settings and
one personal setting that you can define yourself. This
function is available for interlaced analogue video
outputs only. The options are:
STANDARD: Select for standard picture setting.
BRIGHT:
Select to make the TV picture brighter.
SOFT:
Select to make the TV picture softer.
PERSONAL: Select to enter the PERSONAL PICTURE
SETUP menu which allows you to adjust
the brightness, contrast, tint and colour
(saturation).
BRIGHTNESS: Adjust to optimise the dark areas of
the picture. The range is ±20.
SHARPNESS:
Increase the value to sharpen the
picture or vice versa. The range is ±7.
CONTRAST:
Adjust to optimise the bright areas
of the picture. The range is ±16.
TINT:
Adjust this value to change the hue
of the picture. The range is ±9.
COLOR:
Increase the value to increase the
colour saturation in the picture or vice versa. The
range is ±9.
In each case, zero (0) is the normal setting value.
After making adjustments press SEL to store this
Personal Setup and return to the Video Setup menu.
The default PICTURE SETTING is STANDARD.
ADV PICTURE
The Advanced Picture settings allow fine-tuning of
various video parameters.
The ADV PICTURE SETUP menu includes:
DCDI (HDMI only): DCDi® (Directional Correlational
Deinterlacing) eliminates the jagginess that conventional
upscalers and de-interlacers introduce to diagonal edges
in video. DCDi’s unique algorithm identifies all the
moving edges in a scene and adjusts the angle of
interpolation at each pixel so that the interpolation
always follows the edge instead of crossing it,
eliminating staircasing or jagged edge artifacts. This
function is available for HDMI progressive scan only and
can be set ON or OFF. The default setting is ON.
GAMMA (Component video output only):
Changing GAMMA affects the intensity of the picture
non-linearly. A positive value brings out low level detail
in dark scenes, while a negative value emphasizes
contrast. The range of settings is ±7 and the default is 0.
CHROMA DELAY (Component video output only):
The chroma (colour) and luminance (brightness) signals
are not always perfectly synchronized. The Chroma
Delay setting allows you to adjust the advance delay of
the chroma signal to yield a perfectly clear picture. The
range of settings is ±3 and the default is 0.
PSCAN FORMAT (HDMI only):
This function sets
the aspect ratio of screen images. It is only available for
the HDMI video output.
SUPERWIDE:
Select this for display of 4:3 image
on a 16:9 screen with non-linear stretching (centre
portion of screen is stretched less than the sides).
4:3 PILLAR BOX: Select for display of a 4:3 image on
a 16:9 screen without stretching (a black pillar will be
applied to both left and right).
OFF:
No aspect ratio adjustment is made
when this option is selected.
The default setting is OFF.
HDMI VIDEO:
Enables you to adjust the HDMI output
resolution to 480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i or AUTO to suit
the monitor you are using.
480P:
480 line progressive-scan video
576P:
576 line progressive-scan video
720P:
720 line progressive-scan video
1080i:
1080 line interlaced video
AUTO:
Setting is automatically optimized to suit the
HDMI screen in use.
The default setting is AUTO.
Notes:
– Some screens may not be compatible with the AUTO
setting. In this case, connect analogue video (e.g.
composite) to access the Video Setup menu and set
HDMI VIDEO to 720p.
– For settings other than [AUTO], the HDMI video output
may not display properly if you set an output resolution
that is not supported by your HDMI-compatible monitor.
To return to the initial setting:
1 Press OPEN/CLOSE to open the disc drawer.
2 Press
(cursor left key).
3 Press AUDIO.
– While HDMI video signals are being output, the
component video output is switched off.
