Switching video system between PAL and NTSC
This receiver is able to use two types of video systems for its OSD (on screen display) and you need to set the
receiver to the type of video system you have, either PAL or NTSC. If you do not match the system on the
receiver with your home system no OSD will appear on your TV. People with multi-system TVs, do not need to
worry about changing the setting. If necessary, follow the instructions below to swithc the type of video
system.
1
Put the receiver in the STANDBY mode.
2
While holding down the LOUDNESS button, press the
STANDBY/ON button.
The video system type, either “PAL” on “NTSC”,
appears in the display. It will be shown for about
seven seconds and then the receiver reverts to normal
operating mode.
Be careful to press the LOUDNESS button and NOT the
DIRECT button, which will accidentally clear all your speaker
settings (see warning p.73).

On Screen Display
There are a number of possible ways to hook up the receiver to your video components, like a DVD player, and
hook up to your receiver to your TV, but some of them will not allow you to use the on-screen display of this
unit. To avoid this, you simply need to keep the following rules:
1
Always use the same type of video cords to hook up your video components to the receiver as you use to
hook up the receiver to your TV. For example, if you use composite video cords to hook up your DVD player
to the receiver, use composite video cords to hook up the receiver to your TV. If you use S video cords to
hook up your DVD player and the receiver, use S video cords to hook up the receiver to your TV.
2
Always make sure your TV is set to the appropriate input channel (for example, video 1).Your TV may have a
number of input channels and if you do not select the proper one, you will not be able to use this receiver’s
on-screen display, or, in fact see any picture from this receiver at all. If you are unsure how to choose an
input channel for your TV, refer to the manual which came with your TV.
You might, for example, use both composite and S video cords to hook up your video components with this
receiver and then use composite video cords to hook up this receiver to your TV. This arrangement would still
NOT let you see the on-screen displays from this receiver on your TV. The best idea is just to use one type of
video cords for all your video component and TV hook ups.
