The DCX525 can detect when the HDMI connection is in use. If you are not using the HDMI connection
on the DCX525, the Additional HDMI Settings option is disabled and can’t be selected in the menu..
Most new HDTVs are equipped with at least one HDMI input and can support the 1080p60 format. The
DCX525 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 Output setting to the 1080p60 setting.
