Aspect Ratio
Select an aspect ratio according to the kind of
display you have, and how you want to see the
image on-screen. Refer to the table below to
match the HDMI resolution you chose in
Resolution above to the disc type you’re using
and the setting on your monitor. See also
Screen sizes and disc formats on page 82.
• 4:3 (Letter Box) – Widescreen discs are
shown with black bars top and bottom.
• 4:3 (Pan&Scan) – Widescreen discs are
shown with the left and right sides
cropped.
• 16:9 (Wide) – Use this setting if you have
a widescreen monitor.
• 16:9(Compressed) – Progressive-scan
4:3 material is shown with black bars on
either side of the screen.
• The monitor settings listed in the table
may be different from your monitor’s
settings.
Colour
This setting determines the video output
colour format. Depending on the connected
equipment, some HDMI Colour settings may
cause the picture to be displayed incorrectly.
In this case, use the TV’s own video input
settings to select RGB, if possible.
Alternatively, revert to the previous HDMI
Colour setting.
• Full Range RGB – Gives brighter colours
and deeper black. Use if colours are weak.
(This is the standard setting for HDMI-
compatible DVI devices, but it is also
effective with HDMI devices.)
• RGB – Use this setting if colours appear
overly rich on the Full Range RGB setting.
• Component (12-bit) – Outputs 12-bit
component video format. If your
connected device is compatible with this
setting, 12-bit output provides very fine
gradations of colour (if it is not compat-
ible with this setting, the setting automat-
ically reverts to
Component ).
• Component – Outputs 8-bit component
video format. This is the standard setting
for HDMI-compatible devices.
Video Memory
These settings allow you to change the
appearance of the HDMI video presentation.
You can also access these options from the
Video Adjust menu (see
Video Adjust on
page 58 for more on this).
• Direct – The picture appears simply
according to how the source was
encoded.
• Natural – Edges are softer making this
setting good for movies.
• Enhanced – Edges are sharper making
this setting ideal for animation and
material with computer generated effects.
• Memory1–3 – Use for saving your own
presets (see Creating your own presets on
page 58 for more on this)
