DVD Onscreen Setup Menus—Continued

With this setting you can specify how the DVD receiver 
outputs video signals when playing NTSC format 

DVD-Video discs

 or Video CDs.

Use this option if your TV supports both PAL and 
NTSC. The DVD receiver does not convert the video for-
mat. When you play a PAL disc, the video output will be 
PAL format. And when you play an NTSC disc, it’ll be 
NTSC format.

Use this option if your TV doesn’t support PAL play-
back, or the picture is distorted when watching PAL 
discs. The DVD receiver will convert PAL format video 
signals to NTSC-compatible format.

Use this option if your TV doesn’t support NTSC play-
back, or the picture is distorted when watching NTSC 
discs. The DVD receiver will convert NTSC format 
video signals to PAL-compatible format.

Note:
If you select the wrong setting by mistake and loose the 
picture, while pressing and holding the Next [

] but-

ton on the front panel, press the [STANDBY/ON] button 
on the front panel repeatedly to get picture.

With this setting you can select the video format to be 
used for the SCART AV CONNECTOR: RGB or com-
posite video. Before changing this setting, refer to your 
TV’s manual to see if its SCART input can accept video 
signals in these formats.

Composite video offers standard quality.

This format offers the best picture quality.

Notes:
• If you select a format that is not supported by your TV, 

the setup menu may disappear from the screen. If this 
happens, switch off your equipment, connect the DVD 
receiver to your TV with a composite video cable, and 
then change this setting.

• When “RGB” is selected, nothing is output by the 

component video output and HDMI output.

With this setting you can configure the HDMI digital 
output.

Dolby Digital and DTS signals are output as they are.
If your TV or amp doesn’t support higher sampling rates, 
set the “Linear PCM Out” setting to “Down Sample On” 
(below).

Dolby Digital and DTS signals are down mixed to 2 
channels and output as PCM. If your TV doesn’t support 
Dolby Digital and DTS, choose this option. Audio from 
speakers connected to DVD receiver is also changed to 
PCM.

Note:
MPEG is output as PCM regardless of this setting.

With this setting you can configure the DVD receiver to 
output digital audio with higher sampling rates (e.g., 
88.2 kHz, 96 kHz) as it is or to down sample it to 48 kHz 
or below.
If the TV you connect to the DVD receiver’s HDMI out-
put supports 96 kHz digital audio, select “Down Sample 
Off”. Otherwise, select “Down Sample On”.

Source of 48 kHz or more is down sampled to 48 or 
44.1 kHz.

Sources are output as they are.

Notes:
• Some copy-protected DVD-Video discs may use 

96 kHz digital audio only for D/A conversion to the 
analog audio outputs.

• With some discs, even if you select “Down Sample 

Off”, the digital audio will be down sampled, and in 
some cases may not be output by the DVD receiver’s 
HDMI output.
