JBL CVPD50 manual Compressed, but no portion of the image is lost, UAudio/Screen Saver Button This

The Letterbox adjustment is temporary and will only apply to that disc. We encourage you to experiment with the modes to find one that suits you for a given presentation.

Additional aspect ratio adjustments are available using the Frame Button Q.

QRepeat/Frame Button: This but- ton’s function differs depending on whether the internal disc changer (DVD/ Main mode) or the Screen mode is active. To use this button, be careful to press only on the lower portion of the button, as other functions are accessed by press- ing on the upper portion of the button.

In DVD mode, pressing this buttons accesses the Repeat functions. You may repeat a chapter, track, title, disc, file or programmed playlist. For JPEG discs, you may repeat one file or one folder, but the repeat disc function is not available.

In Screen mode, when using the internal DVD changer, this button is only active if the Auto Resize feature is turned off via the SCREEN MENU. This button performs the Frame function, which enables you to set the desired aspect ratio for viewing program materials, independent of the aspect ratio encoded on the disc. The following settings are available:

16:9 – This setting is used to display 16:9 program material in the full-screen 16:9 mode on the CVPD50.

4:3 TO 16:9 NL – This mode adjusts a 4:3 aspect ratio image to fill the CVPD50’s 6:9 screen while creating a more natural- looking picture. This is accomplished by stretching the two sides of the picture more than the center of the picture where most of the content is.

4:3 LTRBOX TO 16:9 – This mode is used to adjust an image which is designed to display a 16:9 movie on a 4:3 screen. In order to preserve the full width of the movie on a narrower screen, the image is reduced in size and black bars appear above and below it. This setting zooms in on the image, enabling it to fill the CVPD50’s 16:9 screen without losing any portion of the image. The image is simply enlarged so that its two sides fit the edges of the CVPD50 16:9 screen and the black bars on top and bottom are cropped off.

2.35LB TO 16:9 NL – This mode is used to adjust an image from a widescreen film which is actually at a wider ratio than the CVPD50’s 16:9 ratio. In order to fit on the smaller screen, the image is

compressed, but no portion of the image is lost.

2.35LB TO 16:9 CROPPED – This mode is an alternative adjustment for a widescreen film. The image is not com- pressed or scaled in any way, but the outer edges are cropped, sacrificing a slight amount of the original content in exchange for 100% accurate image pro- portions.

4:3 HDTV TO 16:9 – As HDTV is new to the broadcast industry, and there is still a lot of older 4:3 standard recording and broadcast equipment in use, 4:3 material is sometimes broadcast in HD 16:9 for- mat with black or other color bars on its sides. Since these bars are a part of the actual picture, conventional picture resiz- ing techniques do not work in eliminating them. This setting is specifically designed to address this problem. It first crops the bars off of the sides of the 16:9 picture to render it a 4:3 picture, and then performs a natural-looking nonlinear stretch to fill the entire 16:9 screen.

4:3 – This mode may be used with pro- grams that are known to be in the 4:3 aspect ratio. The image’s original aspect ratio is preserved unaltered, and black bars will appear on the left and right sides of the image to fill the CVPD50’s 16:9 aspect ratio screen.

The difference between the Frame and Letterbox functions is that the Frame function allows access to the 4:3 and 4:3 TO 16:9 NL modes, which are mainly useful for materials originating in the 4:3 format.

NOTE: The Letterbox and Frame func- tions are not available with the internal DVD/CD changer unless the DVD Auto Resize function has been turned off using the screen setup menus. See page 57 for more information.

RA-B/Auto Button: This button’s function differs depending on whether the internal disc changer (DVD/Main mode) or the Screen mode is active. To use this button, be careful to press only on the lower portion of the button, as other functions are accessed by pressing on the upper portion of the button.

In the DVD mode, press this button once to select the beginning (point A), and again to select the end (point B) of a pas- sage you wish to play repeatedly. Press the button again to end repeat playback. A-B repeat play is not available for VCD, MP3, WMA or JPEG discs.

In the Screen mode, this button selects automatic detection of the aspect ratio of program material from external sources, with playback in the 16:9 format. It will display 4:3 images stretched to fill the 16:9 screen. This function is not available with HD (480p or better) signals. If the 4:3 image is in letterbox format, with bars at the top and bottom of the screen, those bars will remain. See pages 13 and 27 for more information on configuring aspect ratios.

SProgram/PVR Replay Button: In the DVD/Main mode, press this button to access the screen for programming playlists. When a PVR (personal video recorder) is in use, press this button for replay of recorded materials. Refer to your PVR’s owner’s manual for more information.

TDisc Skip/PVR List Button: In the DVD/Main mode, press this button to begin play of the next available disc in the changer. When a PVR is in use, press this button to list recorded materials. Refer to your PVR’s owner’s manual for more information.

UAudio/Screen Saver Button: This

button has different functions depending on whether it is pressed in DVD/Main mode or Screen mode.

In DVD/Main mode, pressing this button accesses the available audio soundtracks on a DVD. In some cases, the disc may simply contain different languages. Other discs may switch the audio format: e.g., to linear PCM or Dolby Digital 5.1. Pressing this button may sometimes pro- vide access to commentary soundtracks.

In Screen mode, pressing this button places the CVPD50 display in Screen Saver mode, in which a JBL logo will appear to move around the screen. It is important to turn on the Screen Saver any time a still image is likely to remain on screen for more than a few minutes, because a still image, such as a menu display, may be “burned” into the display, causing permanent damage to the plasma screen that is not covered under warranty. This danger is not present when a moving image is displayed.

VSubtitle/TV/Video Button: This button has different functions depending on whether it is pressed in DVD/Main mode or Screen mode.

In DVD/Main mode, press this button to select a subtitle language or to turn sub- titling off.
