Video Setup - Arcam DV89 Handbook

Remote type
This informs the player which type of remote control you
are using, so that the player can take into account the slight
differences between the remote types. For ARCAM remote
controls, the remote type is always written on the front of the
remote control, normally at the bottom of the unit.
CR-314
This selects the grey ARCAM CR-314 remote
control
CR-80
This selects the black ARCAM CR-80 learning
remote control
CR-9000 This selects the black ARCAM CR-9000 learning
remote control
Other A non-ARCAM learning remote control is being used
It is important to choose 'Other' if the learning remote in use
does not support RC-5 'toggle bits'.
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.
Priority
Some DVD discs show different material, or have different
behaviour, depending on whether the disc is played on a DVD-
video or on a DVD-audio player. The "Priority" option allows
you to configure the DV89 to be (primarily) one or other of the
player types.
Note that, although this setting may be changed after a disc
has been loaded into the DV89, this setting does not take
effect unless the disc is re-loaded (or a different disc is played).

TV shape
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.
Auto
Off
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.
Auto The video output is taken from that recorded on
the disc. When no disc is playing, the logo screen
is displayed using the standard of the last disc
played.
NTSC
NTSC is always used as the video standard. Note
that PAL discs are converted to NTSC, but this
causes some reduction in the quality of the video
output (and may cause the video to become
'jerky'). This is the best setting to use if your TV
can accept only NTSC video (this is generally the
case in North America); better results are obtained
by using 'Auto', but your TV must be able to
support PAL.
PAL PAL is always used as the video standard. Note
that NTSC discs are converted to PAL, but this
causes some reduction in the quality of the video
output (and may cause the video to become
'jerky'). Better results will be obtained by using
'Auto', but your TV must be able to support NTSC.
Progressive
Off The video output will always be interlaced
(standard definition video). Use this setting if your
display device does not support progressive scan.
Auto (525) The component video output will switch to
progressive scan mode whenever the output
standard is NTSC (525). This would be whenever
an NTSC disc is played, or whenever 'TV System'
is set to NTSC. The video output will revert to
interlaced (standard definition) for PAL (625)
modes. Use this setting only if your display device
supports progressive scan.
On (625/525) The component video output will output
progressive scan video for both PAL and NTSC
discs. Use this setting only if your TV supports
progressive scan in both PAL and NTSC formats.
NOTE: When progressive scan is active, the component
video output will be in progressive mode, and the other
video outputs (composite and S-Video) are muted.
Since progressive scan must be component, not RGB,
the 'HQ video setting' will be forced to component if
progressive scan is enabled.
Not all displays support progressive scan. If you
accidentally enable progressive scan and your display does
not support it, you will be unable to view the picture from
the DVD player, including the on screen display required
to change the video settings. To revert to interlaced mode
without using the on screen menus, open the drawer, then
press and hold the button on the front panel. The
STOP
video mode will revert to interlaced mode after the button
has been held in for five seconds.
