Video Setup - Arcam DV27 Handbook

RATING
The rating setting is used in conjunction with the password to restrict
the content of DVD titles that may be played. To change this setting
the parental control must be unlocked.
The term 'Parental level' refers to a standard defined for DVDs.
DVD movies have a parental level between 1 and 8. Note that this
only applies to DVD video discs that have the parental level correctly
implemented. Some DVD video titles do not respond to parental
control settings, and Video CDs have no mechanism for parental
control.
View All Titles of all parental levels will be played
No Adult Only material of parental level 4 or less may be
played. This corresponds to the MPAA (Motion Picture
Association of America) rating of PG-13
Kids Only Only material of parental level 1 may be played. This
corresponds to MPAA rating G.
Once the rating level has been set, DVD titles with parental level
higher than the setting will not play. Sometimes DVD video titles may
be produced that have the parental level set for specific scenes, so a
disc will play but skip or substitute certain scenes.
OSD (ON SCREEN DISPLAY)
This setting controls the 'pop up' messages that appear on screen.
On Pop-up messages are enabled
Off No pop-up messages, only menus when required.
Certain messages, such as 'No Disc' are always shown regardless of
how this is set.

TV TYPE
This needs to be set correctly for the type of TV you have and the type
of display you prefer.
4:3 Letterbox Use this setting if you have a conventional 4:3 TV, and
you prefer to view wide screen movies in letterbox
format (with black bars at the top and bottom)
4:3 Panscan Use this setting if you have a conventional 4:3 TV, and
you prefer to view wide screen movies in Pan & Scan
format (cropping the sides of the image)
16:9 Use this setting if you have a wide screen (16:9) TV.
Material in 16:9 format is displayed so as to fill the
screen.
If you have a 4:3 TV and you have set a preference for Panscan, it does
not mean you will always see movies in this format, since the Panscan
display must be supported on that disc.

HQ VIDEO (HIGH QUALITY VIDEO)
This setting controls the type of video given out on the Component
and SCART video outputs. It is set at the factory to be appropriate for
the type of TV used in your country, so it is best not to change it. If it
gets set incorrectly then the picture shown on the TV will have strange
colouring.
Component The video output on both the Component video (3
phonos) and SCART is Y, Pb, Pr component video.
RGB SCART The video output on both the Component video (3
phonos) and SCART is RGB. Note that if you are
using RGB output via phono connectors, you will also
need to use
TV SYSTEM
This is set at the factory to be appropriate for the type of TV used in
your country. Should you need to change this setting, the options are
explained below.
NOTE: PAL and NTSC refer to the video standards used in Europe
and North America respectively.
Auto The video output is taken from that recorded on the disc.
When no movie is playing, the logo screen is displayed using
the standard from the last movie.
NTSC NTSC discs will be played as NTSC, and PAL discs will not
play at all, since the unit cannot convert PAL to NTSC. This
is the best setting to use if your TV can only accept NTSC
video (this is generally the case in North America).
PAL PAL is always used as the video standard. Note that NTSC
titles are converted to PAL, but this may cause some
reduction in smoothness of movement. Better results may
be obtained using AUTO; however your TV must then
support NTSC.
PAL60 This is '60Hz PAL'. This setting may allow NTSC titles to be
played on certain PAL TVs that do not support NTSC.
PAL-M A variation of PAL that is used in Brazil
PAL-N A variation of PAL that is used in Argentina, Paraguay and
Uruguay.
BLACK SETUP (PEDESTAL)
This setting controls the 'pedestal' signal or black level when the NTSC
video standard is used. Note that it does not affect PAL video in any
way.
0 IRE This removes the pedestal from NTSC video. This setting
should be used in Japan, and also if you are using RGB
video, whatever the country.
7.5 IRE This is the standard pedestal level that should be used in
all countries that use NTSC video, with the exception of
Japan.
