Appendix Sony Display Memory System The CPD-1730 incorporates the Sony Display Memory System (SDMS) that allows it to discriminate between the types of input signals and to automatically display the optimum picture. The SDMS has a large-capacity non-volatile memory in which the display conditions for each input signal is stored. When the signal is input, the corresponding display conditions are called back from the memory and the unit is automatically adjusted for the signal. It also has a video muting function. The function eliminates display distortions that may occur when the input video signal is changed. Detailed explanation of the SDMS memory and the muting function are given below. The SDMS memory There are two types of memory: factory-preset memory and user memory. Factory-preset memory As explained in "Preset Mode" on page 7, optimum display conditions for the 9 preset-type models (see the chart to the right) are stored the memory area at the factory. No manual adjustment is necessary for these preset-type models. However, the contents in this memory area can be modified by users. If you modify conditions while the signals are input from a preset-type model, the newly set conditions will be stored in this memory area. Priority is given to the modified conditions. User memory The manual adjustments and modifications of an existing condition you make and the conditions of unique video signals are stored in this memory area. They are stored together with the type of the input signal and called back from the memory when the signal is input again. If you modify the condition already stored in the user memory, only the corresponding values are changed. The modified condition is not newly added to the memory. 1 MCGA 2 VGA Text 3 VGA Graphic 4 8514A 5 SVGA 800 x 600 6 SVGA 1024 x 768 7 Sony Standard 8 Macintosh 640 x 480 9 Macintosh 832 x 624 The factory-preset conditions can be modified by user input.

Appendix
Sony
Display
Memory
System
The
CPD-1730
incorporates
the
Sony
Display
Memory
System
(SDMS)
that
allows
it
to
discriminate
between
the
types
of
input
signals
and
to
automatically
display
the
optimum
picture.
The
SDMS
has
a
large
-capacity
non-volatile
memory
in
which
the
display
conditions
for
each
input
signal
is
stored.
When
the
signal
is
input,
the
corresponding
display
conditions
are
called
back
from
the
memory
and
the
unit
is
automatically
adjusted
for
the
signal.
It
also
has
a
video
muting
function.
The
function
eliminates
display
distortions
that
may
occur
when
the
input
video
signal
is
changed.
Detailed
explanation
of
the
SDMS
memory
and
the
muting
function
are
given
below.
The
SDMS
memory
There
are
two
types
of
memory:
factory
-preset
memory
and
user
memory.
Factory
-preset
memory
As
explained
in
"Preset
Mode"
on
page
7,
optimum
display
conditions
for
the
9
preset
-type
models
(see
the
chart
to
the
right)
are
stored
the
memory
area
at
the
factory.
No
manual
adjustment
is
necessary
for
these
preset
-type
models.
However,
the
contents
in
this
memory
area
can
be
modified
by
users.
If
you
modify
conditions
while
the
signals
are
input
from
a
preset
-type
model,
the
newly
set
conditions
will
be
stored
in
this
memory
area.
Priority
is
given
to
the
modified
conditions.
User
memory
The
manual
adjustments
and
modifications
of
an
existing
condition
you
make
and
the
conditions
of
unique
video
signals
are
stored
in
this
memory
area.
They
are
stored
together
with
the
type
of
the
input
signal
and
called
back
from
the
memory
when
the
signal
is
input
again.
If
you
modify
the
condition
already
stored
in
the
user
memory,
only
the
corresponding
values
are
changed.
The
modified
condition
is
not
newly
added
to
the
memory.

The
factory
-preset
conditions
can
be
modified
by
user
input.
Upon
reset
of
the
system,
all
the
contents
of
the
user
modifications
are
cleared,
and
reset
to
the
factory
-
preset
conditions.
If
more
than
9
conditions
are
programmed
into
the
user
memory
area,
the
last
input
condition
will
replace
the
first
user
input.

entry
moves
to

location
in
the
user
memory.
