TV TYPE
Default setting: NTSC
Your DVD Recorder will work with TVs based on the NTSC and
PAL standards, as well as TVs designed to function with both
standards, or “Multi System” models. NTSC is the standard TV
system used in the USA, Canada, Japan and many other
countries. The PAL TV system is used in Europe, Africa and the
Middle East, among other places. Refer to your TV’s
documentation to make sure which model you have.
PICTURE MODE
Default setting: AUTO
Here you can setup the picture mode with AUTO,
Film Video Smart. Super Smart.
VIDEO OUTPUT
Default setting: S-VIDEO (COMPOSITE)
S-VIDEO: A higher quality picture than standard COMPOSITE
VIDEO S-VIDEO requires a special cable (not included).
Composite Video is supported on majority of televisions. It is
identified by a yellow-colored photo-type jack.
YUV: This setting is used for TVs supporting component video
out and progressive scan. To activate the component video
outputs, you must first connect the unit using the COMPOSITE
VIDEO connector and cable in order to enter SETUP and change
this setting. Next, connect the unit using the COMPONENT
VIDEO cables and unplug the COMPOSITE video cable. Adjust
the TV’s Video Input setting to correspond to the COMPONENT
Input. Most TVs scan only half the lines of an image in one pass.
This scanning method is known as “interlaced” mode, as the odd
and even lines are interlaced together in alternate scans, and is the
default setting with the NTSC and PAL options. Progressive
scan, set with the PROGRESSIVE option, is a scanning
method offered on high-end TVs. Progressive Scan TV’s scan all
the lines of an image in one pass, creating a more film-like
quality to DVD movies. Note: All progressive scan TV’s requires
component video inputs.
Resetting the video output
If you inadvertently switch the OUTPUT FORMAT setting to
PROGRESSIVE while using a standard TV not capable of
PSCAN, you will loose video. If this happens, press PSCAN
to reset the recorder to its default video settings .
THE DVD RECORDER SETUP MENU
Default setting: OFF
You can enable the built-in SCREEN SAVER. When enabled
by choosing ON, the Screen Saver will start if the unit remains
paused for a period of about 5 minutes, protecting your TV
from possible “screen burn” that could occur when a still image
is displayed for too long
FACTORY RESET
Default setting: YES
Use this option to RESET the unit to FACTORY DEFAULTS.
All settings will be reset, including the DATE and TIME. All
stored CHANNELS will be lost. Choose NO to maintain
your settings.

TV DISPLAY
Default setting: NORMAL/PS(4:3)
You can setup your DVD Recorder to work with normal and wide
screen televisions. If you are using a wide screen TV, set this option to
16:9 WIDE TV to match the aspect ratio of your TV. When used with
a normal TV (4:3 aspect ratio), the 4:3 NORMAL/PS setting results
in the typical “Pan & Scan” display, where a movie is clipped on the
sides to fit into the TV screen. The 4:3 NORMAL/LB LETTERBOX
setting will enable the “Letterbox” format, where the movie is
presented in wide screen format with black lines at the top and bottom
of the screen. The 4:3 NORMAL/PS and NORMAL/LB settings
usually will have no effect, since very few movies support both
options. DVDs are generally recorded with either PS or LB and do not
allow switching between the two. So, viewing a wide screen DVD on
a standard TV will result in black bars on the top and bottom of the
screen.
