Cannot display this video mode

you need to change the 'zoom' on the tv by the remote.
Normal mode frames the 4:3 video to the 16:9 picture area by displaying it in its original aspect ratio, with vertical gray or black bars on both sides of the screen. The disadvantage of this method is the fact that the image is small by virtue of not using the entire width of the screen. This is also known as the 4:3 mode.
Full mode Full mode horizontally stretches the 4:3 video evenly across the entire width of the screen. This is the proper mode to display anamorphic video. If used for standard aspect ratio video, everything on the screen will appear wider than normal. Contrast this with anamorphic video displayed without processing on a 4:3 display, in which people on the screen will appear taller than normal. This is also known as the 16:9 mode.
Zoom mode Zoom mode evenly stretches the picture both horizontally and vertically, until the picture fills the entire width of the screen. This crops out the top and bottom of the picture. This mode is used for letterboxed and open matte video.
14:9 mode Main article: 14:9
In 14:9 mode, the picture is magnified more than in Normal mode, but less than in Zoom mode, while retaining the original aspect ratio.
Wide Zoom mode Wide Zoom mode, also called Just mode, Horizon, or Smart Stretch, progressively stretches the picture horizontally, less in the middle and more on the edges. This allows normal aspect ratio video to be displayed across the entire width of the screen, with minimal cropping, and with much less of the unpleasing visual stretching effect of Full mode.

Hello,
It could be a hardware or software problem. You need to isolate the problem.
To isolate the problem, restart your computer and tap F8 until you see the options to boot to safe mode. Use the arrow keys to highlight safe mode. Hit enter.
If you can boot to safe mode, then do a system restore inside safe mode to revert the computer config back to a known good date.
If you can't boot to safe mode, then it's for sure a hardware issue and you need to get it serviced by a technician.

Short display Selecting the OSD Mode 1 Turn on the video monitor connected to this unit. 2 Make sure the AMP mode is selected and press ON SCREEN on the remote control repeatedly to change the display mode. The OSD mode changes in the following order: full display, short display, and display off

Restart the computer and press "Del"key or F2 key.. check whether any responce on display, if BIOS is displayed , then display is ok.
Then restart the computer and press F8 key continuosly till "SAFE MODE" list displaying. if displayed safe mode list, select "Enable VGA mode". then press enter. try to login to windows. then change the resolution if required.

Is OSD set to ON? See below

Set the OSD (onscreen display) mode before you start using the RI Dock. 1. Plug in the AC adapter. 2. Turn on your TV and amp, and select the appropriate inputs on your TV and amp. 3. Insert your iPod into the RI Dock. 4. Select the video output mode depending on the video connection. While pressing the remote controller's [SETUP] button, press the Up [ ] button for the component video connection, press the [ ] button for the composite (default) connection. 5. Use the remote controller's [MODE] button to set the OSD mode. On: Playlists (artists, albums, songs, and so on) are displayed on your TV, and you can navigate and select your music or video while looking at your TV. While this mode is selected, your iPod displays the Onkyo logo. Off: Nothing is displayed on your TV and you navigate and select your contents by using your iPod's display.

This message occurs when the display mode in the video settings is outside the parameters of the monitor.

One way to try and get past this is to boot to the F8 Menu (press F8 at startup till you get a windows start menu, and select the "Enable VGA Mode" for WIndows XP or "Low Resolution Mode" Vista/WIndows 7 and let the system boot to a 640 x 480 low resolution. Once at desktop, you can right click teh desktop and go to dispaly properties and increase the color and resolutiont to the OPTIMAL for you monitor.

You may have to boot into safe mode and reset the video settings to a safe setting like 1024x768.

1. To get into safe mode, continuously press F8 while the computer is booting up.
2. Eventually you will get a Windows XP Boot Menu.
3. Choose the option for Safe Mode.
4. Go to Start, Control Panel and double-click Display.
5. On the Settings tab, drag the slider bar to 1024x768.
6. Click OK
7. Shut down and reboot.

If the problem goes away, then you are good. Otherwise, you'll have to boot menu again (F8) and choose Enable VGA Mode.

Check your audio settings on the main menu of the receiver. The audio input should be set to "auto" Next, make sure you don't have the unit in "6 channel input" mode or "direct" mode. This is usually a small button on the front panel. If you check all this and you still have a problem, post a comment and I will help you troubleshoot some more. Hope this helps

Hello,

Try going to Windows Safe Mode. You do this by pressing the F8 key repeatedly exactly after you hear your computer beep when it is rebooting. This should bring you to a screen that will have 3 Safe Modes listed, choose just plain Safe Mode by using your arrow keys to highlight Safe Mode and press enter. Once in Safe Mode, a box will come up asking you if you intended to enter Safe Mode, click Yes. You should now see your desktop, however it will look larger, and with less colors. This is normal.

If this mode did not allow you to get into windows, then reboot, press F8 like before and select Enable VGA Mode instead.

Now that you hopefully have a desktop, try this link which will take you to a video that will walk you through the process of setting up your DualView monitors. Also, note that there are some check boxes that allow you to select which monitor you want to be the primary.

I realize this video is specific Windows 2000, but the process is the same for Windows XP.

Hope this helps and Good luck!
