Video Output

Display Mode: Display xbmc in a window, or fullscreen on the selected screen.
Resolution: Changes the resolution that the User Interface is displayed in.
Use a fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen: Windows: when active, do not use the DirectX fullscreen mode. The main benefit is for multi-screen configurations, where xbmc can be used at the same time as other applications without automatically minimizing. Uses a bit more resources and playback may be slightly less smooth.
Blank other displays: In a multi-screen configuration, the screens where xbmc is not displayed are blacked out.
Vertical blank sync: needs explanation
Video Calibration...: Opens The User Interface Calibration Window

Audio output: Allows you to tell xbmc about the type of connection to the audio equipment. Optical/Coax and HDMI enable the passthrough of Dolby Digital and DTS to capable receivers.
Speaker Configuration
Boost volume level on downmix
- Dolby Digital (AC3) capable receiver: Select this option if your receiver is capable of decoding AC3 streams.
- DTS Capable Receiver: Select this option if your receiver is capable of decoding DTS streams.
