If you are using this output, you can determine the up-conversion path for every input label. The
options here are doubling/up-converting from a composite video input to the processed VGA output,
doubling/up-converting from a S-Video to the processed VGA output, or simply running a VGA input
directly to the VGA output. The Out of the Box setup has the options for video inputs and up-conversion
through the HDTV/VGA output.
Because the Out of the Box setup is intended
to work for the most basic devices
in the class of components (i.e. regular DSS
receivers vs. HDTV DSS receivers), you
see that instead of providing the VGA input
for DSS, the Out of the Box setup has the
processed VGA output set to S-Video. The
same is true for the DVR (if you are using
the more advanced DVR’s, they feature a
VGA output). In the same line, since not all
VCRs feature an S-Video output, the Out
of the Box setup shows that only composite
video is passed through the processed
VGA output.

As such, you may need to alter the HDTV OUTPUT setting for components that have a superior video
output than the Out of the Box (more generic) setup. As a reminder, the following devices deserve
consideration.
DVD Player - If your DVD player features a VGA or RGBHV output you will want to set the HDTV
Conversion Output to RGB.
DSS Receiver - If your DSS Receiver features a VGA or RGBHV output you will want to set the HDTV
Conversion Output to RGB.
DVR/PVR - If your DVR features a VGA or RGBHV output you will want to set the HDTV Conversion
Output to RGB.
VCR - If your VCR features an S-Video output you will want to set the HDTV Conversion Output to S-
VIDEO.
CABLE/TV - If your HD Cable or TV tuner features a VGA or RGBHV output you will want to set the
HDTV Conversion Output to RGB.
Obviously, because the Cinema Reference Mach II is so incredibly flexible, this feature and its operation
might apply to other input labels in the event you have already altered your system’s input configurations.
To change the processed video output up-conversion signal:
1 Turn the Input knob until the display’s second line reads the input you need to modify and then
press the input knob.
2 Turn the Mode knob clockwise until the display’s second line reads SETUP MENU and then
press the Mode knob.
