The setting will not apply

any video enhancement or processing to the
incoming video signal, but it will output it in one
of the following ways, depending on the input
source.
• A standard-definition (480i or 576i) analog
signal (composite, S-video or component) will
be converted so that it is available as an HDMI
signal at its input resolution, as well as at the
standard composite, S-video or component
analog video outputs. The signal will also be
available at the record outputs.
• An analog component high-definition signal
will be digitized and output at its input
resolution through the HDMI outputs and as
an analog component signal, but not through
the analog composite or S-video monitor or
record outputs.
• HDMI input signals, regardless of their resolu-
tion, will be output through the HDMI outputs.
The setting will not apply any video

enhancement or processing to the incoming
video signal, but it will output it in one of the
following ways, depending on the input source.
• Analog signals (composite, S-video or compo-
nent) will output only in the resolution and for-
mat that matches the input for both the main
"Monitor" connection as well as for the record
outputs.
• HDMI input signals, regardless of their resolu-
tion, will be output through the HDMI outputs.

A/V SYNC DELAY
to enter a setting that delays the audio output
slightly behind the video so that the loss of lip
sync that may occur due to digital video process-
ing in the transmission of a program, in the play-
back unit or in the display is corrected. This lack
of lip sync is not a fault of the sources; rather, it
is a by-product of video signal processing. In
most cases, we recommend that the delay adjust-
ment be made using the direct-access controls
on the remote so that you may more accurately
adjust the delay while viewing the on-screen
image, following the instructions shown on page
35, but you may also make it here using the
F to
menu system. As the amount of delay needed
may vary from one source to another, we strongly
recommend that you adjust it for each input.
To adjust the A/V sync delay time from the
menu, make certain that
