senses and adjusts the aspect ratio. All
stretch modes are handled by the TV. 4:3
aspect ratio programs may be displayed

on the setting of the TV’s stretch mode.

NOTE

This is the typical setting for use with

wide screen TV monitor with stretch modes.

• 4:3 LB (Letter Box)

ratio TV. 4:3 aspect ratio programs ﬁll
the screen. Wide-screen video images
are displayed full-width with black letter

These options are the same as those listed

NTSC or a PAL signal depending on the
format of the disc, regardless of the setting
of the back-panel PAL/NTSC switch.

NOTE

The four MULTI settings are only avail-

able on the Asia model.

Picture Source

This setting optimizes the Progressive Scan
de-interlacing/line doubling for different types
of ﬁlm or video source material.

• VIDEO (Normal):

Optimized for video

source material without rapid motion. It
uses “weave” de-interlacing that preserves
as much detail as possible at the expense
of jagged lines during fast motion.

• VIDEO (Motion):

Optimized for video

source material with rapid motion. It uses
a “bob” line doubling that reduces jagged
lines during fast motion at the expense of
ﬁne detail.

• FILM:

Activates reverse 3:2 pull down

de-interlacing and is optimized for ﬁlm
source images.

• AUTO:

Automatically recognizes ﬁlm or

video source material and uses the best
possible de-interlacing. This is the default
mode and provides the best overall per-
formance for the widest range of DVD
material.

Screen Saver

TV Monitors can be easily damaged if a
static image is displayed for a long time. The
Screen Saver feature automatically darkens
the screen when a still image (such as a DVD
menu) is displayed for ﬁve minutes.

• ON:

Activates the automatic screen saver

function.

• OFF:

Disables the screen saver func-

tion.

MP3&WMA/JPEG

Some discs contain both MP3/WMA audio
ﬁles and JPEG images. This setting deter-
mines which of the two is played when a
disc contains both types. A disc containing
only one type of ﬁle can be played regard-
less of the setting.

• MP3&WMA:

Select this option to play

MP3 or WMA ﬁles.

• JPEG:

Select this to play JPEG ﬁles

AUDIO

There are ﬁve items on the Audio Menu to
tailor the audio performance of the system.
These adjustments can also be made from
the front panel and/or remote control as
described in the Comprehensive Setup and
Sound Settings sections of the manual.

Digital Audio Output

This setting determines which kind of signals
are sent from the RDV-03’s coax or optical
digital outputs to a digital input on the sur-
round sound receiver or processor from each
type of disc. Signals can be sent as a raw
digital bitstream that must be decoded by a
surround sound processor or as a fully de-
coded PCM digital bitstream like the output
of a CD player.

• PCM ONLY:

Use this setting to decode

all digital formats (Dolby Digital, DTS,
MPEG) to a PCM bitstream. Use this op-
tion if your receiver or surround processor
does not have Dolby Digital decoding.

• DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM:

Use this setting

deliver a raw Dolby Digital bitstream, but
convert all other digital formats to a PCM
bitstream. Use this option if your surround
processor has Dolby Digital decoding, but
does not have DTS or MPEG decoding.

• STREAM/PCM:

Use this setting to deliver

a raw unprocessed digital bitstream from
all digital sources. Use this option if your
surround processor has Dolby Digital,
DTS, and MPEG decoding.

NOTE

Digital recordings with 96 kHz or high-

er sampling rate will be output as a 48kHz
digital PCM bitstream. Some DVD-Video
discs without copy protection will be output
as a 20 bit or 24 bit digital bitstream.
