properly set it up with your sources and display. It can also show you how to properly connect it
and use it with the other components in your system.
Document Conventions and Menu Navigation
In this Owner’s Manual, text that is in ‘quotes’ refers to an item in the iScan VP50’s on screen
display (OSD). For example, if the user were asked to access the ‘Deinterlacing’ menu on the
VP50, the word deinterlacing is in quotes so that the user knows what to look for in the OSD.
Text that is bold refers to a button on the remote control of the VP50. For example an instruc-
tion that says to ‘press u’ is telling the user to press the right navigational button on the remote
control (or alternatively, the front panel). Text that is in italics refers to instructions where
information can be found elsewhere. For example, you may be referred to another section of the
manual or to a specic page on the DVDO website.
In this Owner’s Manual, an action that requires navigating the menu system of the iScan VP50 is
