When SET: ACTIVE OUTPUT / DVI is selected within the SETUP MENU, the ANALOG
OUTPUTS are disabled; however, will pass analogue to analogue signals (select appropriate
input on the display).
There is Dark Banding/Streaking while the video image is
changing; how do I fix this?
The video image is either positioned (Phased) too far to the left/right, or the image is too
wide. Though the image may be “filling” the viewable screen area, the display is having
difficulty finding the actual Clamp Pulse (sync signal). The display is now “Clamping” to the
Peak Whites of the video signal; or rather, “clamping” to video, not the sync pulse.
You should recalibrate the display device utilizing a master video test pattern. Utilize a
Component (YCrCb) DVD source and a Safe-Area test pattern (AVIA or DVD Essentials
calibration DVD).
Digital Display Device (Plasma, D-ILA, DLP or LCD)
• Utilize a “Screen Area” test pattern from a calibration test DVD
• Reduce the video image size until you see the Active Picture area of both the left side
and right side of the video image
• Center the image on the screen using the positioning controls of the display device only
• Digital displays will have sizing controls labeled Pixel Clock, Dot Clock or just Clock, etc.
This adjustment will expand/contract the image to from the Right; the Left side of the
image should remain relatively fixed to its position
• Use Horizontal Size, Positioning controls and Clock adjustment to center/position the
image on screen.
You will need to utilize all controls to achieve/massage image centering.
• Once the image is centered correctly, fully expand the image to the edge of the screen.
Analogue CRT Display Device
• Use a “Screen Area” setup pattern from a calibration test DVD.
• Reduce the image size by 10% to 15%.
• Un-blank Left, Right, Top and Bottom Blanking.
• Increase BRIGHTNESS to 75%.
• Image should be clearly seen within the raster area.
• Phase picture to center image within the raster area.
• Center raster (with image) on the screen.
• Blank Left, Right, Top and Bottom Blanking to edge of image.
• Increase Left/Right and Top/Bottom Size to the edge of screen.
My picture is Magenta or Pinkish in color
RGBHV out into YPrPb in = MAGENTA picture.
The default analogue ACTIVE OUTPUT of the DVP1080 is 5-wire RGB (RGBHV). If your only
video input option to the display is via YPrPb, you must first change the ACTIVE OUTPUT on
the DVP-1080 from RGB to YPrPb within the SETUP MENU.
Note: The DVI OUTPUT is disabled once YPrPb has been selected; YPrPb is not a valid
output format within the DVI domain.
• Enter the SETUP MENU by pressing
Menu on the IR remote for seven seconds
• Press
A until the upper LCD display reads either of the following:
SET: OUTPUT FORMAT / ANALOG RGB + DVI
SET: OUTPUT FORMAT / ANALOG RGB
• Press < or > to select SET: OUTPUT FORMAT / ANALOG YPrPb
• Press
Menu to return to the USER MENU
Note: ONLY select either 1920x540p or 1280x720p scanrates if the display device does
not have an available 5-wire RGBHV or D-15 VGA input connection.
• If you are connecting the DVP-1080 and display device via RGBHV, and your picture
is MAGENTA, you will then need to change the displays input format from COMP
(Component) to RGB or PC.
• Verify that the output/input cable(s) have not been swapped.
• Verify continuity of cable terminations
