1600x1200 for the cable length required. A DVI to fiber optic cable is highly recommended
for cable lengths longer than 16 feet (5m).
If the DVI cable has exceeded its ability to support the resolution selected, you may
experience "sparkles" and/or digital noise throughout the video, or no video at all. To
insure installation success, you should always test your connections, prior to installation.
There is Dark Banding/Streaking while the video image is
changing; how do I fix this?
The video image is either positioned (Phased) too far to the left/right, or the image is too
wide. Though the image may be "filling" the viewable screen area, the display is having
difficulty finding the actual Clamp Pulse (sync signal). The display is now "Clamping" to the
Peak Whites of the video signal; or rather, "clamping" to video, not the sync pulse.
You should recalibrate the display device utilizing a master video test pattern. Utilize a
Component (YCrCb) DVD source and a Safe-Area test pattern (AVIA or DVD Essentials
calibration DVD).
• Utilize a "Screen Area" test pattern from a calibration test DVD
• Reduce the video image size until you see the Active Picture area of both the left side
and right side of the video image
• Center the image on the screen using the positioning controls of the display device only
• Digital displays will have sizing controls labeled Pixel Clock, Dot Clock or just Clock, etc.
This adjustment will expand/contract the image to from the Right; the Left side of the
image should remain relatively fixed to its position
• Use Horizontal Size, Positioning controls and Clock adjustment to center/position the
image on screen.
You will need to utilize all controls to achieve/massage image centering.
• Once the image is centered correctly, fully expand the image to the edge of the screen.
My picture is Magenta or Pinkish in color
RGBHV out into YPrPb in = MAGENTA picture.
The default analogue ACTIVE OUTPUT of the DVP1080 is 5-wire RGB (RGBHV). If your only
video input option to the display is via YPrPb, you must first change the ACTIVE OUTPUT on
the DVP-1080 from RGB to YPrPb within the SETUP MENU.
Note: The DVI OUTPUT is disabled once YPrPb has been selected; YPrPb is not a valid
output format within the DVI domain.
• Enter the SETUP MENU by pressing Menu on the IR remote for seven seconds
• Press A until the upper LCD display reads either of the following:
SET: OUTPUT FORMAT / ANALOG RGB + DVI
SET: OUTPUT FORMAT / ANALOG RGB
• Press < or > to select SET: OUTPUT FORMAT / ANALOG YPrPb
• Press Menu to return to the USER MENU
Note: ONLY select either 1920x540p or 1280x720p scanrates if the display device does
not have an available 5-wire RGBHV or D-15 VGA input connection.
• If you are connecting the DVP-1080 and display device via RGBHV, and your picture
is MAGENTA, you will then need to change the displays input format from COMP
(Component) to RGB or PC.
• Verify that the output/input cable(s) have not been swapped.
• Verify continuity of cable terminations
My picture is Green.
YPrPb OUT into RGBHV IN = GREEN picture.
The BNC's (RGBHV), or MONITOR output of the DVP-1080 is connected to the RGBHV, or
VGA input of the display device. However, SET: ACTIVE OUTPUT/ ANALOG YPrPb has been
incorrectly selected.
• Enter the SETUP MENU by pressing Menu on the IR remote for seven seconds.
• Press the A until the LCD display reads SET: ACTIVE OUTPUT / ANALOG YPrPb.
