GENERAL INFORMATION
===================

- DTS audio is supported : whenever you choose the DTS option in a
movie menu the OUTPUT WILL BE DIRECTED THRU THE SP/DIF OUPUT IN
DIGITAL FORMAT REGARDLESS OF THE DVD STATION AUDIO OUPUT SETTING,
so the DTS stream is NOT decoded thru the analog mini audio jack.

- You can use the Hollywood Plus without the pass-thru cable, but
in this case the video playback will be available on TV only
(and not on the VGA monitor). The system will detect the
presence of this cable at booting time. So connecting or
disconnecting it during a Windows session is not correct.
A reboot is needed to notify the Hollywood Plus driver.

- If you insert a movie with a region code mismatching the DVD-ROM
drive region - for RPC2 drives, the tray will be ejected and a
Windows error message issued.

II - BORDER ADJUSTMENT AND COLOR CALIBRATION
=======================================

NOTE: If the border is not adjusted properly after Auto Calibration
you may need to set the Border Adjustment to get more
accurate adjustment. You need to set the Border Adjustment
only once for each setting of display resolution.

1. At the Start button, click Programs and select REALmagic Hollywood
Plus program group. Click REALmagic Configuration.
2. Click on Adjust Border and use the proper buttons to adjust the
black rectangle in the magenta box.
3. Change different values to adjust stability if you are viewing
jumping pixels on MPEG video. Click OK when you are done.
4. The Reset Default button will reset the color calibration and
border adjustment values to the factory default settings.

Note 1: Color calibration is required if the colors are not
normal or the screen is pink or not clear. If color
calibration is required, Click on "Auto Calibration". The
screen will flash for 5 to 10 seconds then displays a
message that the calibration is complete. Click OK.
Note 2: In the cases where this calibration is unsuccessful,
you can click on Advanced..., then the Manual
Calibration. This will involve fixing the R, G, B
sliders as shown in the window four times. You can use the
up/down arrow keys for fine tuning and you don't need
necessarily to see the cross but just the disappearance
of the vertical bar.
