The DCX3200-M can detect when the HDMI connection is in use. If you are
not using the HDMI connection on the DCX3200-M, the HDMI/YPbPr Output
setting will display as YPbPr Output in the User Settings Menu.
Most new HDTVs are equipped with at least one HDMI input and can support
the 1080p60 format. The DCX3200-M is designed to provide excellent video
quality when converting any program to the 1080p60 video format. If your
television supports 1080p60 video input, it is highly recommended to adjust
the HDMI/YPbPr Output setting to the 1080p60 setting.
