Selecting the display settings

Setting default options

The Video setup menu lets you change the video and operational settings of the 596 DVD Player:

Note: The SCART switch option only appears with the SCART

version of the 596.

To set the default picture format

Some DVD video discs allow you to choose between the 4:3 (normal television) or 16:9 (widescreen) picture formats.

If you have a standard 4:3 television you also have the choice of displaying widescreen pictures cropped to fill your television screen (pan-scan), or with black bars above and below the picture (letterbox).

Highlight Display aspect in the Video setup menu, and press Enter.

The Display aspect ratio menu is displayed:

Press V or A to select the format of your TV, and press Enter.

Note: The pan-scan feature is not available on some discs, in which case letterbox format will be used.

To select the video output format

This option should be set according to which of the S-video or

COMPONENT video outputs you are using.
