3.2.2

High definition television

The digital receiver supports various video resolutions from

576 to 1080. In general a resolution of 720 or more is considered
high definition. The higher the resolution, the better the quality.
However, if your television set does not support high definition,

you cannot enjoy high definition quality picture.

Set the

Video Format

option as you desire.

If you set this

option to

576P

, the digital receiver will present even high

definition programmes in resolution of 576. On the contrary,
if you set it to

1080I

, the digital receiver will present even

standard definition programmes in resolution of 1080. While

watching television, you can change the resolution with the

V.Format

button. Whenever you press it, the video resolution is

changed in turn.

NOTE

You can enjoy only standard definition video with the following

connector:

• Composite video connector (

VIDEO

)

3.2.3

Audio mode

Basically, there are two audio sources as you can find two audio
sockets on the back panel of the digital receiver. You can enjoy
only one source or both of them in either stereo or mono. Set
the

Sound Mode

option as you desire.

Apart from this setting, you can change the sound mode with

the

button. See §

5.2.4

for a detailed description.

The digital receiver can output two types of digital audio sig-

nals via the S/PDIF connector. One is an encoded signal, and
the other is a decoded signal. If your digital audio system does
not have a Dolby Digital decoder, you have to set the

Dolby

Output

option to

PCM

. Otherwise, set it to

Bitstream

.
