6. Also check to make sure that the display is in the correct Aspect Ratio mode which may be causing the display to do additional unnecessary scaling The correct mode may be called Native Dot by Dot Full or Anamorphic NOTE If this test pattern does not appear as it should and you have chosen the native resolution of the display you may not be able to bypass the internal processing on the display This does not mean that the RS VP2 can not still make an improvement in the image quality In these cases select the closest output format to the display s native resolution Vertical Lines The Vertical Lines test pattern should appear as one pixel wide black and white columns If you see any irregular pattern s in the image you know that the display is scaling the signal horizontally Horizontal Lines The Horizontal Lines test pattern should appear as one pixel tall black and white rows If you see any irregular pattern s in the image then you know that the display is scaling the signal vertically STEP 4 Connecting the Sources to the RS VP2 Up to 11 video sources can be connected to the RS VP2 Use the following suggestions for connecting several popular sources to the RS VP2 SD DVR STB S Video Composite and Optical Coaxial Analog audio HD DVR STB HDMI or DVI Component and Optical Coaxial audio DVD Player Recorder HDMI or DVI Component and Optical Coaxial audio HD DVD Player HDMI or Component and
