Film Mode Edit Detect: When this setting is on, additional pro-
cessing is applied when film-based material is detected so that any
disruption in the frame sequence of film-based material due to
video edits or the overlay of video text over film is compensated
for, before artifacts such as feathering appear.
Flesh-Tone Noise Reduction: When this setting is on, the process-
ing is adapted to preserve the detail in faces and flesh tones while
reducing noise in the total picture.
Composite Video Enhance: When this setting is on, composite
video signals are processed at the level set in the main VIDEO
menu to adjust the high-frequency content of the signal. This setting
acts on the vertical and horizontal, as well as the luminance and
chrominance signals, to offer what will appear as enhanced depth
in the picture, as well as greater small-object detail.
VCR Sync-Time Enhance: When this setting is turned on,
circuits are applied to correct irregular sync timing signals, which
are common when a VCR is in use. The enhancement provided is
similar to the effect achieved by using the tracking control on a VCR.

Input Aspect Ratio: This setting tells the video processing circuits
what the aspect ratio is for the input in use. To change the default
setting, when the VIDEO SETTINGS 1 menu is on the screen,
press the

pointing to IN ASPECT RATIO and then press the

Scaling: This setting is used to adapt a standard NTSC 4:3 screen
image to “fit” a 16:9 display.
I NONE: This setting will orient a standard NTSC 4:3 image in the
middle of a 16:9 display in its normal aspect ratio, leaving black
bands on either side of the image.
I LINEAR: This setting will stretch the 4:3 image across the 16:9
display and will typically make the image look flattened.
I NONLINEAR: This setting will place the 4:3 image in the center
of the 16:9 display in its normal aspect ratio and gradually
stretch the image toward the left and right edges of the screen.
In slow-action video, there is little noticeable effect. In fast-
action video, there is almost a “fishbowl” effect at the far edges
of the display.
Enhance Level: If you wish to change the default setting to suit
your specific display type, input sources and personal image
preferences, when the VIDEO SETTINGS 1 menu is on the
screen, press the

image to your eyes on the scale of 0 to 100.
Noise Reduction: When this setting is turned on, there is a
reduction in the video noise that is often present in analog
input sources.
X-Color Suprression: When this setting is on, there is a reduction
in the cross-color interference that typically appears in composite
video sources as moiré in finely detailed objects.
DCDi Interpolation: DCDi stands for directional correlation
de-interlacing. It is a Faroudja technology that examines each
pixel for the optimal direction from which to interpolate the
video information with regard to local edges. This adaptive process
prevents the appearance of staircasing and the jagged edges
that are often visible with other means of de-interlacing.
Film Mode Detect: When this setting is on, special circuits are
used to detect the presence of film-originated material so that
the original film-frame sequence may be recovered by weaving
together the appropriate video fields.
