Video Setup - Arcam DiVA DV78 Handbook

Remote type
This informs the player which type of remote control you
are using, so that the player can take into account the slight
differences between the remote types. For ARCAM remote
controls, the remote type is always written on the front of the
remote control, normally at the bottom of the unit.
CR-314
CR-415
CR-80
CR-9000
Other
It is important to choose 'Other' if the learning remote in use
does not support RC-5 'toggle bits'.
OSD (On Screen Display)
This setting controls the 'pop up' messages that appear on
screen.
On
Off
Certain messages, such as 'No Disc' are always shown
regardless of how this is set.

This item is not applicable for the DV78, and should not be
changed.

Video setup

TV shape
This needs to be set correctly for the type of TV you have and
the type of display you prefer.
4:3
Letterbox
4:3
Panscan
16:9
If you have a 4:3 TV and you have set a preference for Panscan,
it does not mean you will always see movies in this format,
since the Panscan display must be supported on that disc.

(16:9) TV. Material in 16:9 format is displayed so as to
fill the screen.
TV System
This is set at the factory to be appropriate for the type of TV
used in your country. Should you need to change this setting,
the options are explained below.
Auto The video output is taken from that recorded on the
disc. When no disc is playing, the logo screen is
displayed using the standard of the last disc played.
NTSC
NTSC is always used as the video standard. Note that
PAL discs are converted to NTSC, but this causes
some reduction in the quality of the video output (and
may cause the video to become 'jerky'). This is the best
setting to use if your TV can accept only NTSC video
(this is generally the case in North America); better
results are obtained by using 'Auto', but your TV must
be able to support PAL.
PAL
PAL is always used as the video standard. Note that
NTSC discs are converted to PAL, but this causes some
reduction in the quality of the video output (and may
cause the video to become 'jerky'). Better results will be
obtained by using 'Auto', but your TV must be able to
support NTSC.
Progressive
Off The video output will always be interlaced (standard
definition video). Use this setting if your display device
does not support progressive scan.
Auto (525) The component video output will switch to progressive
scan mode whenever the output standard is NTSC
(525). This would be whenever an NTSC disc is played,
or whenever 'TV System' is set to NTSC. The video
output will revert to interlaced (standard definition) for
PAL (625) modes. Use this setting only if your display
device supports progressive scan.
On The component video output will output progressive
(625/525)
scan video for both PAL and NTSC discs. Use this
setting only if your TV supports progressive scan in
both PAL and NTSC formats.
NOTE: When progressive scan is active, the component
video output will be in progressive mode, and the other video
outputs (composite and S-Video) are muted.
Since progressive scan must be component, not RGB, the
'HQ video setting' will be forced to component if progressive
scan is enabled.
Not all displays support progressive scan. If you accidentally
enable progressive scan and your display does not support
it, you will be unable to view the picture from the DVD player,
including the on screen display required to change the video
settings. To revert to interlaced mode without using the on
screen menus, press and hold the
panel at any time. The video mode will revert to interlaced
mode after the button has been held in for five seconds.
HQ Video (High Quality Video)
This setting controls the type of video given out on the
Component and SCART video outputs. It is set at the factory to
be appropriate for the type of TV used in your country, so it is
best not to change it. If it gets set incorrectly then the picture
shown on the TV will have strange colouring.
Component
The video output on both the Component video (3
phonos) and SCART is Y, Pb, Pr component video.
RGB SCART The video output on both the Component video (3
phonos) and SCART is RGB. Note that if you are using
RGB output via phono connectors, you will also need
to use COMPOSITE as a sync signal.
