Connections

This is where you can specify the shape of your TV screen.

This is important for determining whether you would like to

see the whole picture, or a slightly bigger version.

Select this setting if you own a standard 4:3 TV

set and want to see the whole picture. In that

case, masking bars are inserted above and below

the picture.

4:3 Normal:

Select this setting for a standard 4:3 TV set if you

Basic

want the picture to fill the entire screen. In that

case, the left and right borders may fall outside the

Playback

screen’s scope.

16:9 Widescreen:

Select this setting for a 16:9 wide-screen TV.

Notes:

• The picture size is preset on the DVD video disc. Therefore, the

playback picture may not conform to the picture size you select.

• When you play DVD video discs that only contain 4:3 picture size

Advanced

information, any other TV Shape setting you may select is ignored.

• If you select “16:9 Widescreen” while your TV set is equipped with a

4:3 screen, the picture will be horizontally distorted (compressed)

during playback. Always set the TV Shape function according to the

Setup

PAL: Choose this option when you wish to watch DVD video discs

in the PAL video format. This requires that you connect the

DVD Changer to a PAL television set.

Auto: The DVD Changer automatically selects either the PAL or the NTSC

video system depending on the format used by the DVD video

Others

disc you are playing back. Choose this option if your television set

is of the multisystem type (PAL/NTSC compatible).

If the DVD video disc contains some footage in the PAL format

and other scenes in the NTSC system, the image may briefly dis-

tort while the DVD Changer switches to the appropriate format.

function.
