Video calibration...
This screen allows you to calibrate the User Interface by adjusting the overscan. Use this tool if the image being displayed is too large or small for your display. Note: Always adjust your hardware display settings before XBMC's settings (such as overscan, etc). Simply adjust the screen so that the arrows are in the top left and bottom right corners and that the entire frame is visible on screen.
It offers the ability to adjust
- The overscan of the video - How close to the edges of the screen that the image is displayed
- The positition where subtitles are displayed
- The position of the on screen display
- The pixel ratio - allows you calibrate the aspect ratio at which videos are played back

Aspect ratio
Audio output
This allows you to tell XBMC about the type of connection to the audio equipment so it can set the available GUI options appropriately, in addition it tells XBMC the LPCM capabilities of the connection. This unrelated with telling XBMC where the audio is actually sent, this is done via Audio output device and Passthrough output device settings.
Select your physical speaker layout.
Boosts AC3 streams that have been downmixed to 2 channels
This upmixes 2 channel stereo sources to what specified by the Speaker Configuration so audio is output on all speakers
This is the device you use to play LPCM or audio decoded by XBMC such as mp3's and FLAC.
This device you use to play the encoded formats, these are any of the formats checked above in the "capable receiver" options.
This sets how interface sounds are handled such as when navigating the menus, select from Never, Only when playback stopped, or Always. |
Input devices
Note: The content of this screen largely depends on the input devices that XBMC detects
|
Power saving
|
XBMC also has a "Custom shutdown timer" selectable from the power icon on the home screen, or from the shutdown menu (press S on a keyboard).
Debugging
|
Master lock
Note: The Master Lock options are ONLY available while using the Default User profile.
XBMC will give you three tries when you need to enter a lock/password to access something that is locked. If you max out these three tries then just quit XBMC and re-open it to get three more tries. The Master Lock code is stored in the "profiles.xml" file in the userdata folder. Should you get locked out, you can delete or edit the "profiles.xml" file.
