Some Basic Settings 

Configuring the Output Resolution 

 
By default the Output Resolution is set to Auto-Scale mode.  In Auto-Scale mode the 
output resolution is automatically set to the native resolution of the file being played 
back. 
 
If you wish to take the unit out of Auto-Scale mode, select the Output Resolution drop 
down menu and ‘uncheck’ Auto-Scale.  Then select the Output Resolution you desire. 
 

 

 
When in any resolution other than Auto-Scale the output resolution of the decoder is 
constant regardless of the resolution of the file being played back.  For example if the 
‘Output Resolution’ is set to 1920 x 1080i then any file played back will be output as 
1920 x 1080i.
