• CC On Mute: To have the PD520 show captions when the audio output is

muted, set this option to Yes.

Letterbox Mode: Select Letterbox Mode from

the Setup menu to change the zoom factor

that takes effect when you select the Letterbox

aspect ratio (refer to Table 4-1).

When you select Letterbox, the image is

enlarged (zoomed in) by a factor of

approximately 1.33.

When you select Cinema Fill, the zoom factor is

approximately 1.77 (1.33 x 1.33).

Input Selection: Input 1 and Input 2 have both S-Video and Composite video

connectors. Input 3 and Input 4 have both Component and Composite video

connectors. To specify which connection type you are using – or to switch from

one to the other if equipment is connected to both – select Input Selection from

the Setup menu and press ENTER.

The default setting for all four AV inputs is Automatic. With this setting, the PD520

searches for an active source on both connectors and displays the first one it

detects. If equipment is connected to both, Automatic input selection triggers a

switch when a source component is disconnected or powered off.

Monitor Out: If you have equipment connected to the MONITOR OUT, select

Monitor Out from the Setup menu to route either the main or PIP audio/video

signals to that output.

Overscan (not available with PC signals): Overscan pushes the outside edge of

the active picture area of the video signal out beyond the edge of the display

area.

Some television programs are produced based on the assumption that older

television sets may not display the outer edges of the broadcast picture area.

Overscan effectively trims away these inactive, outer edges and enlarges the

remaining portion of the image to fill the display area.

Use the on-screen slidebars to set the desired amount of horizontal and vertical

overscan, as well as horizontal and vertical image shift.

These settings only affect 480i source material. For HDTV, DVDs and other video

sources, Overscan is generally not necessary or desirable.

Input Label: You can give each PD520 input a descriptive name. To do this,

select Input Label from the Setup menu and choose one from the list.

HDMI Audio: If the HDMI source is a PC or other device that does not support

audio output via HDMI, set HDMI Audio to PC.

If the source does support audio output via HDMI, set this option to HDMI to

route the HDMI (digital) audio signal to the speakers when HDMI1 or HDMI2 is

selected.
