Setting the input modeThe mode can be set for each input only when HD has been selected as the system format.When SD is selected as the system format, the input mode is always the same as Normal.Normal: Input signals in conformity with the system format take effect.DbyD: When SD signals with the same frame rate as the system format have been input, they are input on adot by dot (1 magnification) basis with no up-conversion.(This setting is only possible when the system format is 1080i.)In this mode, there is minimal deterioration in the image quality and, as such, the mode is used tocombine SD format material using the PinP function.UC: When SD signals with the same frame rate as the system format have been input, they areup-converted.Auto: Input signals in conformity with the system format take effect.Furthermore, if SD signals with the same frame rate as the system format are input when HD isselected as the system format, they are up-converted. In the Auto mode, the images may be disturbed when the input signals are switched.On the INPUT XX sub menu, turn [F4] to set the input mode using the Mode item, and press the [F4] switchto enter the setting.An asterisk () appears at the left of the input mode currently selected.
