Title: HDMI - Which color mode?
Post by: Chet on May 12, 2010 at 04:24 PM

So I'm trying to set up my Pioneer HTZ 373 home theater in a box, and when it comes to the HDMI  color settings, it has three options:

1. Component

2. RGB

3. Full Range RGB

Which do you guys think is the best option?  Sorry if this is a noob question. 

I'm connecting the system to a 32" Toshiba LCD TV that appears to support 1920 x 1080p.

Thanks!

Use component. The output should already be the correct color space (YCbCr 4:2:2).

If you use RGB, it will still need to be converted at the display side.

Full range RGB is only for PC's, not for DVD's.

Thanks!  Manual wasn't very helpful kasi, and couldn't find anything at the usual on-line FAQs.
