System Setup

Output Resolution:

This setting may be used to

change the video output resolution. It affects the

Component Video Outputs and the HDMI Output,

but with different allowed settings depending

upon whether the HDMI Output is in use. This

setting may also be changed by pressing the

Video Mode Button on the remote repeatedly to

cycle through the available settings options.

•

HDMI Output In Use:

With the HDMI Output

connected to another device, this setting

defaults to Auto, but you may change it to

576p, 720p, 1080i or 1080p. We recommend

leaving the setting at Auto, in which the

DMC 1000 sets the video output based on the

capabilities of the device it is connected to. If

you attempt to select a video output resolution

that your video display is not capable of han-

dling, such as 1080p for a display that is only

1080i-capable, you will not see a picture.

•

HDMI Output Not In Use:

When no device is

connected to the HDMI Output, this setting

only applies to the Component Video Outputs.

Only two values are available: 576i (the

default) and 576p. Select 576p only if your

video display’s component video inputs are

capable of handling a progressive scan signal.

If it isn’t, you will see no picture or a distorted

picture when this setting is changed to 576p. In

that case, press the Video Mode Button on the

remote to correct it.

Picture Mode:

Select from the Normal, Vivid,

Sport and Nature picture settings to optimize

viewing of various types of programs. This setting

is a matter of taste, and there is no incorrect set-

ting.

Video Noise Reduction:

We recommend that

you leave this setting at the default “Off”. If

video signal noise is observed when using

theanalog video outputs, turn this setting on to

reduce the noise and improve the picture quality.

These general system settings should be accessed

Backup:

This setting is used to back up the sys-

tem and Media Library contents to a USB storage

device.

Restore:

This setting is used to restore a backup

copy of the system settings and Media Library

contents. The existing contents of the Media

Library will be erased. Use this feature only in the

unlikely event that the hard-disc drive in your

DMC 1000 has been replaced.

Reset Factory Defaults:

This setting is used to

return all of the Setup Menu settings to their fac-

tory defaults. They will then have to be reconfig-

ured as required for your application. The con-

tents of the Media Library are not affected by this

command.

Network:

When the DMC 1000 is connected to

a network, the network settings are identified

here. These settings may be used with other

devices when the DMC 1000 is to be used as a

media server as part of a home network. This fea-

ture also allows you to test the network connec-

tion to make certain that Internet access is avail-

able. Press the “9” key on the remote twice, to

display the Internet Protocol (IP) address on the

front panel.

Language Selected:

Select the display lan-

guage for the DMC 1000’s menus here. Choose

from the default English, or Spanish, French,

German or Italian.

Format USB:

This command allows you to refor-

mat a USB device, which completely erases the

contents of the drive. Exercise great caution

before reformatting a drive.

Now that your DMC 1000 has been installed and

configured, it’s easy to enjoy your favorite audio

and video programs from a variety of media,

including DVDs, CDs, memory cards, USB drives

and the DMC 1000’s own Media Library.
