Resolution
Since HDMI has the capacity to support many
different high-definition video formats, you
may want to change the resolution depending
on the monitor you're using. The options that
appear will depend on the video format of the
current disc (NTSC or PAL).
• VGA – 640x480 pixel progressive-scan
video (NTSC only)

progressive-scan video

Video Memory
These settings allow you to change the
appearance of the HDMI video presentation.
You can also access these options from the
Video Adjust menu (see Video Adjust on
page 57 for more on this).
• Direct – The picture appears simply
according to how the source was
encoded.
• Natural – Edges are softer making this
setting good for movies.
• Enhanced – Edges are sharper making
this setting ideal for animation and
material with computer generated effects.
• Memory1–3 – Use for saving your own
presets (see Creating your own presets on
page 57 for more on this)
Audio
If the monitor or device you have connected
using HDMI is not compatible with
compressed multi-channel formats, you
should set this to LPCM, otherwise set to
Auto.
• LPCM – All audio signals are downmixed
to linear PCM (2-channel).
• Auto – Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG
sources are processed according to how
they were encoded, and linear PCM
sources are heard with no processing.
• Even with Auto selected, if the monitor or
device you have connected using HDMI is
not compatible with multi-channel
formats, the audio signal will be
downmixed to linear PCM as above.
