The DCX3520e-M can detect when the HDMI connection is in use. If you are not using
the HDMI connection on the DCX3520e-M, the HDMI/YPbPr Output setting will display
as YPbPr Output in the User Settings Menu.
Most new HDTVs are equipped with at least one HDMI input and can support the
1080p60 format. The DCX3520e-M is designed to provide excellent video quality when
converting any program to the 1080p60 video format. If your television supports
1080p60 video input, it is highly recommended to adjust the HDMI/YPbPr Output
setting to the 1080p60 setting.
