NOTE
able on the Asia model.
Picture Source
This setting optimizes the Progressive Scan
de-interlacing/line doubling for different types
of film or video source material.
• VIDEO (Normal): Optimized for video
source material without rapid motion. It
uses "weave" de-interlacing that preserves
as much detail as possible at the expense
of jagged lines during fast motion.
• VIDEO (Motion): Optimized for video
source material with rapid motion. It uses
a "bob" line doubling that reduces jagged
lines during fast motion at the expense of
fine detail.
• FILM: Activates reverse 3:2 pull down
de-interlacing and is optimized for film
source images.
• AUTO: Automatically recognizes film or
video source material and uses the best
possible de-interlacing. This is the default
mode and provides the best overall per-
formance for the widest range of DVD
material.
Screen Saver
TV Monitors can be easily damaged if a
static image is displayed for a long time. The
Screen Saver feature automatically darkens
the screen when a still image (such as a DVD
menu) is displayed for five minutes.
• ON: Activates the automatic screen saver
function.
• OFF: Disables the screen saver func-
tion.
MP3&WMA/JPEG
Some discs contain both MP3/WMA audio
files and JPEG images. This setting deter-
mines which of the two is played when a
disc contains both types. A disc containing
only one type of file can be played regard-
less of the setting.
• MP3&WMA: Select this option to play
MP3 or WMA files.
• JPEG: Select this to play JPEG files

There are five items on the Audio Menu to
tailor the audio performance of the system.
These adjustments can also be made from
the front panel and/or remote control as
described in the Comprehensive Setup and
Sound Settings sections of the manual.
Digital Audio Output
This setting determines which kind of signals
are sent from the RDV-03's coax or optical
digital outputs to a digital input on the sur-
round sound receiver or processor from each
type of disc. Signals can be sent as a raw
digital bitstream that must be decoded by a
surround sound processor or as a fully de-
coded PCM digital bitstream like the output
of a CD player.
• PCM ONLY: Use this setting to decode
all digital formats (Dolby Digital, DTS,
MPEG) to a PCM bitstream. Use this op-
tion if your receiver or surround processor
does not have Dolby Digital decoding.
• DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM: Use this setting
deliver a raw Dolby Digital bitstream, but
convert all other digital formats to a PCM
bitstream. Use this option if your surround
processor has Dolby Digital decoding, but
does not have DTS or MPEG decoding.
• STREAM/PCM: Use this setting to deliver
a raw unprocessed digital bitstream from
all digital sources. Use this option if your
surround processor has Dolby Digital,
DTS, and MPEG decoding.
: Digital recordings with 96 kHz or high-
NOTE
er sampling rate will be output as a 48kHz
digital PCM bitstream. Some DVD-Video
discs without copy protection will be output
as a 20 bit or 24 bit digital bitstream.
