Resolution is expressed as follows:
From the list below, use the output resolution that gives the best picture quality on your display. Note that HD
displays often require either 1280x720p or 1920x1080i input regardless of their native resolution
.
Color Space:
Set this to match your display type: HDTV (high definition TV), SDTV (standard definition), or Auto
§
.
Data Format:
Select YCbCr 4:2:2, YCbCr 4:4:4, Studio RGB, Extended RGB, or Auto
§
– whichever looks best. When YCbCr is
selected, the HDMI output uses YCbCr format and Component output uses YPbPr.
To determine whether Studio vs Extended RGB is the correct setting, compare shadow detail in dark scenes,
or play the color bar test pattern in section 4.11 and look at the stripes in the lower right. If using YCbCr
output, compare detail around edges in colorful scenes to determine whether 4:2:2 vs 4:4:4 is best.
If colors look totally wrong with all sources, try all settings before contacting tech support
. If colors look
wrong only when certain sources are selected, see section 4.11.
§‘Auto’ setting: Works with most displays, but you may get a better result selecting the format manually.
Letterbox:
When the source material’s aspect ratio (the proportion of image width to height) does not match the
display’s aspect ratio, and you want to preserve the original image’s proportions, the unused areas of the
screen will be blank. You can select the shade of these areas from ten levels between light gray and black.
If you do not want letterbox (bars on top/bottom) or pillarbox (sidebars) on your screen, see section 4.11.
Synchronization:
Try ‘Inverted’ setting if the image via HDMI is either not centered on the screen or does not show at all.
Component 2 Out:
The second Component video output can be configured in one of the following three ways, or ‘Off’:
MAIN output, processed (same signal as Component 1).
MAIN output, passthrough – this bypasses the video processing. Can be used if two displays that
cannot accept the same format are being run at the same time. On-Screen display is not available.
ZONE2 output, passthrough – also bypasses video processing, On-Screen display not available. Use
this setting to connect ZONE2 display via Component video.
