While there are many different ways to connect your source equipment to your PFP-7/PFP-1 1 , the examples shown above are the most common. • COMPOSITE VIDEO INPUT : Composite video is the most common type of signal used, but is also the lowest in picture quality . Many sources have outputs that are limited to composite video, such as some VCR’s[...]

12 Now that your PFP-7/PFP-11 has been installed, it's time to get it configured for use in your system. Please follow the procedures and recommendations below: 1. First, connect all sources (DVD, VCR, Satellite receiver, etc.) to the PFP-7/PFP-11 , if this has not already been done. Also, ensure all sources are ON and functioning, if possible[...]

13 Ov erall Functional Description The PFP-7/PFP-11 has many useful purposes. It has many different scan rate outputs that can match most fixed- pixel displays, as well as most HD-capable rear-screen televisions. Also, the sync polarity and output type (RGB, Component, Sync on green, etc.) can be changed to meet the requirements of the display devi[...]

14 When the MENU button is pressed on either the remote control or the front panel, the main menu will appear on-screen. An example of the main menu is shown above. The active source is indicated by an arrow to the left of the source; note that in the example above, Composite is the current source. T o select a source via the main menu, press eithe[...]

Picture quality adjustments (also known as "Front Panel Controls") are the controls that change different parameters of the image such as the amount of color, black level, etc. While these adjustments can be set to suit the needs of the user, there is a way to set these properly. This section will describe what each function does and how [...]

16 TINT (also known as 'hue') is essentially the ratio of red to green in the color portion of the image. If TINT is decreased, the image will appear redder , and increasing it will cause the image to appear greener . T o set TINT properly , look at the color bar pattern through a blue filter (or mute the red and green outputs). Adjust TI[...]

SHARPNESS adjusts the amount of high-frequency detail in the image. This can be adjusted to the preference of the user . Keep in mind that when SHARPNESS is decreased, fine details in the image will become 'soft'; when it is increased, fine details will become sharper but will also make the picture appear 'noisy' if adjusted too[...]

When you are installing the processor for the first time, the first order of business is to define what type of screen will be used with this system. If a 1.78:1 (16:9) or 1.85:1 screen is used, highlight 16:9 SCREEN and press ENTER. If a standard 4:3 screen is installed, highlight 4:3 SCREEN and press enter . However , if your display is a native [...]

T o select a scan rate, first determine which type of display will be used with the PFP-7/PFP-1 1 (see 'Fixed pixel displays' or 'CRT displays' below). If the display is a FIXED PIXEL display , you'll want to use one of the FIXED PIXEL scan rates. If using a CRT projector , you'll want to use one of the CRT scan rates.[...]

A fixed pixel display can be one of several types of displays, including Plasma (flat panel) displays, DLP™ projectors, LCD projectors and D-ILA projectors. Selecting a scan rate for these types of displays is actually quite easy since the display has a fixed resolution, commonly known as the display's native resolution. T o determine which [...]

This feature allows you to change the sync polarity or type of output of the PFP-7/PFP-1 1 . The default output is positive horizontal sync, positive vertical sync (+ Horizontal + V ertical). However , some display devices work better with some sync polarities and some may not be compatible with others. There is not a 'best type of sync' [...]

Some displays, especially phosphor-based displays such as CRT projectors and Plasma (flat panel) displays, can be 'burned' by still-images or otherwise not using the full display or raster . Examples of this include A TM's, where the bank logo is permanently burned into the display . This is also the reason why most projector manufac[...]

T o use side bar level , it will be necessary to 'unblank' the left and right sides of the image. Please follow this procedure to set side bar level: · Ensure an active source is displayed on the screen or display . · Select the standard (4:3) aspect ratio. NOTE: Ensure 16:9 screen is selected in the INST ALLA TION menu. · Access the I[...]

The BLANKING function allows you to 'cut of f' part of the image to fit the screen properly , or to elimi- nate anomalies on the extreme outsides (usually the top) of the image. This can be done to the top, bottom, left or right sides individually . T o adjust BLANKING , highlight the desired area you wish to blank (top, bottom, left or r[...]

25 An ‘aspect ratio’ is simply the ratio of the width vs. the height of the screen. For example, the current aspect ratio standard is 4:3 (or 1.33:1), where the image is 4 units wide and 3 units tall. ASPECT RA TIOS 4 units wide 3 units tall All of our ‘regular ’ televisions are this aspect ratio. Y ou have probably noticed that occasionall[...]

As you can see, our screen in this example is a 1.85:1 ratio. The dashed lines show the area that we ‘blanked’. If you recall, watching a letterbox movie on a 4:3 screen gave us black bars; therefore with letterbox movies, we’re not losing any information! The ‘other ’ type of widescreen is called ‘ANAMORPHIC’. The image is still a wi[...]
