Where possible disable video processing in your source components so that the Statement D2’s
advanced processing can be used to its potential.
For standard-def DVD, set the player’s output to 480i/576i because if output is progressive-scan you will
be looking at the player’s deinterlacing, not the Statement D2’s. If the player does not allow 480i/576i
HDMI output, using 480i/576i component video output may be best. If the player can be set to put out
both 480i (NTSC) and 576i (PAL) according to source material, you can use that setting since the
Statement D2 accepts both formats.
If your HD cable/satellite receiver has passthrough mode where output resolution follows each station’s
resolution, use it. If not, set the receiver’s output according to the HD channels that you watch most.
HD material on disc is natively 1080p/24 or 1080i/60 – if your player has a passthrough mode where
output resolution and refresh rate follow that of the source material, you can use it with Configuration 1
resolution set to, for example, 1920x1080p/60 and Configuration 2 set to 1920x1080p/24.
If your display allows, set it to 1:1 pixel or dot-for-dot mode. The display’s stretch modes, including edge
cropping or overscan, should not be used if avoidable since they rescale the image unnecessarily.
S-Video On-Screen Display Format:
If using S-Video output use the
buttons to select NTSC or PAL, whichever matches your display. If your
display supports both formats, try NTSC first.
Preferred Video Output:
Use the
buttons to select Component or HDMI – the video will be optimized for that type. The other
output may or may not produce a usable picture – this depends on the remaining settings. HDMI-only
selections in the menu are not shown when Component is selected. If your settings apply to both HDMI and
Component output, both will work simultaneously unless the source material’s copy protection prevents this.
