System Configuration
When using the full-OSD system to make the
setup adjustments, press the OSD button
once so that the
appears. Note that the cursor will be next to
the line. Press the Set but-
ton to enter the menu and the
menu (Figure 2) will appear on the
screen.
When the video turns to black, that is your indi-
cation that the processor has momentarily muted
the signal while the proper video settings for
each input are reestablished by the Faroudja
processor. The clicking noise is caused by the use
of a relay to switch between the component
video inputs for the highest signal quality and to
minimize video crosstalk.

name appears in the highlighted video, as well as
being indicated in the front panel Input
Indicators . If the input will use the standard
left/right analog inputs, no further adjustment is
needed (except with DVD). When you are scroll-
ing through the list of available inputs, it is possi-
ble that you hear a slight click from time to time.
This is normal, as it is caused by the relay that is
used to switch between the two Component
Video Inputs.
When one of the four Video inputs is selected as
the source, you have the option of renaming the
input as it appears in the on-screen and front
panel messages. This is helpful if you have more
than one VCR, if you wish to associate a specific
product brand name with the input, or to simply
enter any name that will help you to remember
which source is being selected.
To change the input name, press the
Navigation Button on the remote so that
