Video set-up If your display device is HDMI-compliant, the DV137 can read the capabilities of the display device directly; the information allows the DV137 to configure its output automatically and optimally for the attached device. See page 22 for more information about connecting to HDMI devices. Main video output This setting is to tell the DV137 which of the available video outputs is the `main' output, i. e. , in the event of a conflict between video outputs, which output has priority. HDMI Select this item if you are connecting the DV137 to an HDMI-compliant device, and you are happy for the DV137 to configure itself automatically for the device it is attached to. This is the recommended setting if you are connecting the DV137 to an HDMI-compliant device. HDMI as DVI Select this item if you are connecting the DV137 to a DVI-compliant device, and you are happy for the DV137 to configure itself automatically for the device it is attached to. Select this setting if you are not connecting the DV137 to a HDMI-compliant device. HDMI as DVI Even though your display device may be fully HDMI compliant, it is possible that in-line receivers or repeaters may work only in DVI mode. In this case, it is useful to disable HDMI, forcing DVI output instead. Selecting `HDMI as DVI' will force the DV137 into DVI mode even when an HDMI device is detected. Analogue Display standard This is set at the factory to be appropriate for the type of display device used in your country. Should you need to change this setting, the options are as follows. Auto NTSC 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. 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'). [. . . ] Incompatability may be due to a number of possibilities, including the type of disc used and the recording method.
