CONFIGURING ADVANCED INPUT SETTINGS (continued)
S-VIDEO OSD 4:3 ON, OFF
Controls the on-screen display aspect ratio when the display device
is connected to a Main Zone S-video output connector. Aspect ratio
refers to the shape of the picture or the display device screen. A 4:3
aspect ratio is almost square. A 16:9 aspect ratio, often referred to
as widescreen, is almost twice as wide as it is high. When ON, the
on-screen display appears in a 4:3 aspect ratio regardless of the
incoming video input signal. When OFF, the on-screen display
appears in the same aspect ratio as the incoming video input signal.
The on-screen display appears horizontally stretched across the
display device screen when all of the following conditions are met:
• The S-VIDEO OSD (4:3) parameter is OFF.
• An anamorphic video input signal is present.
• A 16:9 display device (widescreen) is connected to an S-video
output connector.
COMPONENT OSD ON, OFF
Controls the appearance of the on-screen display when the display
device is connected to the component video output connector.
When ON, the display device shows the on-screen display as a 480i
video signal on a full blue screen background. To minimize viewing
distractions, the two-line status does not appear in the on-screen
display. When OFF, the display device does not show the on-screen
display, including the two-line status.
When the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY menu BACKGROUND parameter is
OFF, the display device using the component video output
connector shows the on-screen display only when composite or
S-video is converted and output throught the component video
connectors (INPUT SETUP menu VIDEO IN parameter is set to
COMPOSITE VIDEO or S-VIDEO and COMPONENT IN is set to
VIDEO).
FORMAT DETECT NORMAL, FAST
Provides a means of preventing audible digital noise from occurring
during digital audio signal changes. Digital sources typically output
a short period of silence when switching between sources. The
FORMAT DETECT parameter controls how the MC-12HD reacts
when it detects silence in the digital audio stream.
When set to NORMAL, the MC-12HD will not mute when silence is
detected. This setting is appropriate for most sources.
When set to FAST, the MC-12HD will mute when a period of
continuous digital silence is detected. Once valid audio is received,
the MC-12HD will configure its processing and deactivate mute.
This prevents audible digital noise from occurring during digital
audio signal changes. For example, the MC-12HD will briefly mute
when FORMAT DETECT is set to FAST and the digital audio stream
changes from PCM to DTS.
ZONE2 IN & RECORD IN DIGITAL, ANLG, DMIX
Controls the interaction of the digital and analog audio input
connectors assigned to the current Zone 2 and Record Zone inputs.
The table on the next page describes ZONE2 and RECORD IN
parameter settings.
