14 Introduction and getting started
For most televisions, you will get the best picture by choosing
the RGB option. If, while you change this option, the picture
on your television disappears, or changes to black and white,
simply use the arrow buttons to select another option, until
you can see the display correctly. Some televisions may take a
few seconds to adjust to a new setting.
Use the VCR SCART setting to change how the signal from the
VCR SCART connector is passed through to your television.
When set to Standard, it will be automatic, and so will depend
on the device you have connected to the VCR SCART; for
example, a video recorder's picture may display only when
it is playing, while a DVD player may display all the time. If
you set this option to External A/V, then the picture from the
device you have connected to the VCR SCART connector will
only appear on your television when you select it via the SAT
button on the remote control.
If you have a widescreen television, you should set the TV
Aspect Ratio option to 16:9; for a conventional television set,
set it to 4:3.
The Display format controls how widescreen programmes will
appear on a non-widescreen television or non-widescreen pro-
grammes will appear on a widescreen television.
If you set TV Aspect Ratio option to 4:3 and select Letter Box,
then the widescreen picture will appear with black bars top
Set the TV type to PAL for most
European television sets. The
Video Output option selects the
type of video signal that will be
sent via the TV SCART socket.
You can choose between RGB, S-
Video, YUV (also known as com-
ponent, and used with some flat-
panel displays), and CVBS, also
known as composite.
