Native Mode Settings Screen
The Native Mode Settings menu is used to configure the operation of the native mode
feature on the DCX3501-M. The DCX3501-M is capable of receiving and decoding a
number of different digital video formats. When operating in native mode, the DCX3501-
M will generate a video output format that most closely matches the broadcast video
format .
For example, if the DCX3501-M is configured to operate in native mode, a channel
broadcast in the 720p format will be output to the television in the 720p format, while a
channel broadcast in the 1080i format will be output to the television in the 1080i format.
When using the native mode feature of the DCX3501-M, please exercise caution when
selecting the formats from the checklist. If a format is selected that is not compatible
with the television, there may be a loss of video whenever the DCX3501-M is tuned to a
channel which is broadcast in that format.
If the television is connected to the DCX3501-M using an HDMI cable, the DCX3501-M
will automatically customize the checklist of supported formats as reported to it by the
television. If the television is connected to the DCX3501-M using Component Video
(YPbPr) cables, the checklist will need to be customized manually.
Note that at least one
of the [1080p - 1080i – 720p – 480p – 480i] formats must be selected from the checklist
for the DCX3501-M to operate properly in native mode.
The Native Mode Settings menu screen is illustrated and defined below.
