The following table describes the options available in the on-screen menu:
Setting Description
TV Type
Selects the type of TV. The LED panel will display the output type you have selected. Defaults
to 16:9.
Options are 16:9 (for wide screen TVs); 4:3 LETTERBOX or 4:3 PAN/SCAN (for normal TVs).
4:3 LETTERBOX allows you to view widescreen programming in a letterbox format through
the S-video, composite video, or RF video outputs when the DCT6200 is tuned to a
widescreen program. 4:3 PAN/SCAN allows you to view widescreen programming in 4:3 full
screen format through the S-video, composite video, or RF video outputs when the DCT6200
is tuned to a widescreen program.
Y Pb Pr Output
Selects the video display for the YPbPr component video outputs. The LED panel will display
the format you have selected. Defaults to 1080i.
Options are 1080i, 720p, 480p, or 480i.
Some TVs can only support certain display formats. Check your TV User Guide for more
information.
If you are not using an HDTV, selecting a format other than 480i will cause the on-screen
display to go blank. If this happens you can still view your settings on the LED panel to change
the format back to 480i.
4:3 Override
Selects the YPbPr (Component video) output format of the DCT6200 when it is tuned to
4:3 standard definition programs. Defaults to 480i.
Options are OFF, 480i or 480p.
If the YPbPr Output is set to 480i, this setting becomes
redundant and defaults to OFF.
This setting provides the ability to specify how 4:3 pictures are to be displayed on your TV.
Most TV programming is 4:3 aspect ratio (square).
Selecting OFF will display regular TV programs that are 4:3 aspect ratio in widescreen format.
If you have a widescreen TV, black bars will be placed on the left and right of the picture to fit
your screen. Selecting OFF when you have a 4:3 TV Type may result in a small picture with
black bars on all four sides of the screen.
Selecting 480i will transmit TV programs that are not high definition in their original 480i
format. Some TVs cannot display 480i format on their component video inputs (Y Pb Pr).
Check your TV User Guide for more information.
If your DCT6200 is connected to your VCR and you record programming using your VCR,
setting 4:3 Override to 480i will cause your VCR to record any graphic overlays (program
guides, closed captions, on-screen menus) that were displayed during the recorded program,
regardless of the YPbPr Output and video output combinations.
Selecting 480p will convert TV programs that are not high definition to a higher quality 480p
format. Some TVs cannot display 480p format on their component video inputs (Y Pb Pr).
Check your TV User Guide for more information.
