Overscan: Image Overscan pushes the outside edge of the active picture area of the 
video signal out beyond the edge of the display area. 
Some television programs are produced based on the assumption that older television 
sets may not display the outer edges of the broadcast picture area. Over scan effectively 
trims away these inactive, outer edges and enlarges the remaining portion of the image to 
fill the display area.

HD Format: If the characteristics of the incoming signal on the HD1 or HD2 inputs are 
known, select HD Format from the Service menu and set them as described below. Doing 
so can reduce the time it takes the DHD Controller to switch from HD to 480i signals or 
vice versa. 
This is generally not necessary unless the DHD Controller – for whatever reason – has 
difficulty determining the color space (RGB or YUV), bandwidth or resolution...
