Television Standard; Color Model - Topfield TF 5000 CIP User Manual

3.2.1 Television standard

3.2.2 Color model

The digital receiver supports two types of television standard.
One is the PAL standard, and the other is the NTSC stan-
dard. PAL was adopted in European countries while NTSC
is adopted in USA, Canada, Mexico and so forth.
If you have a PAL television, you have to set the TV Type op-
tion to PAL. In this case, if a service is broadcasted in NTSC
standard, the digital receiver converts it into the PAL standard
for your PAL television. However, its quality would some-
what fall. The opposite case brings about the same result.
The best thing is to watch PAL services with a PAL television
and to watch NTSC services with a NTSC television. How-
ever, the multi television set is able to process both of them.
So if you have a multi television set, set the TV Type option
to Multi. With this option, the digital receiver will output them
without standard conversion. This setting is most recommended
especially if you are not sure what standard television you
have.
Through the TV SCART connector, the digital receiver is able
to output video in various color models. If you have the digi-
tal receiver linked to your television from this connector, you
should set the Video Output option to your desired color model.
If you have connected them by RCA connector at which VIDEO
reads on the back panel of the digital receiver, you do not have
to set this option because the digital receiver outputs CVBS
video through RCA connector independent of SCART connec-
tor.
However, If you have connected them by S-VIDEO connec-
tor, you have to set this option to S-Video because the output
through S-Video connector comes from the SCART interface.
It is known in general that the RGB color model provides the
best video quality with little difference from the YUV color
