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.

how this is set.

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.
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
This item is not applicable to the DV27 and should not be changed.
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
COMPOSITE
as a sync signal.
NTSC BLACK (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.
