System Setup
Output Resolution: This setting may be used to
change the video output resolution. It affects the
Component Video Outputs and the HDMI Output,
but with different allowed settings depending
upon whether the HDMI Output is in use. This
setting may also be changed by pressing the
Video Mode Button on the remote repeatedly to
cycle through the available settings options.
• HDMI Output In Use: With the HDMI Output
connected to another device, this setting
defaults to Auto, but you may change it to
576p, 720p, 1080i or 1080p. We recommend
leaving the setting at Auto, in which the
DMC 1000 sets the video output based on the
capabilities of the device it is connected to. If
you attempt to select a video output resolution
that your video display is not capable of han-
dling, such as 1080p for a display that is only
1080i-capable, you will not see a picture.
• HDMI Output Not In Use: When no device is
connected to the HDMI Output, this setting
only applies to the Component Video Outputs.
Only two values are available: 576i (the
default) and 576p. Select 576p only if your
video display's component video inputs are
capable of handling a progressive scan signal.
If it isn't, you will see no picture or a distorted
picture when this setting is changed to 576p. In
that case, press the Video Mode Button on the
remote to correct it.
Picture Mode: Select from the Normal, Vivid,
Sport and Nature picture settings to optimize
viewing of various types of programs. This setting
is a matter of taste, and there is no incorrect set-
ting.
Video Noise Reduction: We recommend that
you leave this setting at the default "Off". If
video signal noise is observed when using
theanalog video outputs, turn this setting on to
reduce the noise and improve the picture quality.

Backup: This setting is used to back up the sys-
tem and Media Library contents to a USB storage
device.
Restore: This setting is used to restore a backup
copy of the system settings and Media Library
contents. The existing contents of the Media
Library will be erased. Use this feature only in the
unlikely event that the hard-disc drive in your
DMC 1000 has been replaced.
Reset Factory Defaults: This setting is used to
return all of the Setup Menu settings to their fac-
tory defaults. They will then have to be reconfig-
ured as required for your application. The con-
tents of the Media Library are not affected by this
command.
Network: When the DMC 1000 is connected to
a network, the network settings are identified
here. These settings may be used with other
devices when the DMC 1000 is to be used as a
media server as part of a home network. This fea-
ture also allows you to test the network connec-
tion to make certain that Internet access is avail-
able. Press the "9" key on the remote twice, to
display the Internet Protocol (IP) address on the
front panel.
Language Selected: Select the display lan-
guage for the DMC 1000's menus here. Choose
from the default English, or Spanish, French,
German or Italian.
Format USB: This command allows you to refor-
mat a USB device, which completely erases the
contents of the drive. Exercise great caution
before reformatting a drive.
Now that your DMC 1000 has been installed and
configured, it's easy to enjoy your favorite audio
and video programs from a variety of media,
including DVDs, CDs, memory cards, USB drives
and the DMC 1000's own Media Library.
