“Source”:
you can choose which video input (“Auto”/“Composite”/“S-Video”/“Scart”/
Component”/“RGB”) you want the ARCHOS to use. Normally, with a good video signal,
you can set it to “
Auto” and your ARCHOS will scan its inputs to see which one is receiving
video.
“Format”:
Auto”/“4:3”/“5:3”/“16:9”/“2.35”. This is the aspect ratio of the screen that the
ARCHOS device will record. You can set this manually, but in most cases you can just leave it
on “
Auto”.
“Widescreen”:
Auto”/“On”/“Off”. If your tuner (cable box, satellite receiver, etc.) outputs a
video signal in widescreen, you can force the ARCHOS to recognize this signal. This should be
set to “
On” if recordings show people that look unusually tall and thin. But in most cases you
can just leave it on “
Auto”.
