Setting TV MODE/SCART
Bypass
The ‘TV MODE/SCART Bypass’ feature allows you
to watch videos/programs from the SCART source
(decoder, VCR, etc.) directly at the push of a button.
You need to activate the function via the Setup menu
before using the
TV (MODE)
button on remote control.
After you press
TV (MODE)
to view videos/programs
from the SCART source, only
POWER
and
TV
(MODE)
buttons on the remote will be available to
use. You can only press
POWER
to switch off the
DVD recorder, or press
TV (MODE)
again to return
previous viewing mode.
After you press
TV (MODE)
to view videos/programs
from the SCART source, status indicator will light up in
the display window.
Depending on the cable manufacturers, the SCART
cable you use to connect an external device to the
DVD recorder may not be able to detect all signals
transferred via this connection. If you have activated
the ‘TV MODE/SCART Bypass’ function via the Setup
menu, and still have problem using the feature, try to
use a new SCART cable.
Setting Component Video
Output
If your TV supports ‘Progressive Scan’ mode, you can
choose to set the DVD recorder’s output accordingly
to enjoy better video quality. ‘Progressive Scan’ mode
differs from the ‘Interlaced Scan’ mode in how a video
image is updated. In ‘Progressive Scan’ mode, scan
lines for an image are refreshed in every pass and
by a sequential order. In the ‘Interlaced Scan’ mode,
image is updated by alternating sets of odd and even
scan lines.
Progressive Scan Mode:
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
Line 5
Line 6
Line 7
etc
Interlaced Scan Mode:
Line 1

If you accidentally set ‘Progressive’ as the video
output mode when the DVD recorder is not connected
to a progressive-scan-compatible TV, you may lose
the video signal on your TV instantly. To recover the
problem, switch off the DVD recorder, and then switch
it on again. After the DVD recorder is switched on (in
about 30 seconds), press
(
right direction button)
,
5, 0, 2, 0,
on remote control, then press
ENTER
. The
recorder will then be automatically switched off. The
DVD recorder’s TV output will be restored to default
when you switch on the recorder next time.
Setting HDMI Resolution
