If you have a conventional TV, choose either 4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan & Scan). In Letter Box mode, widescreen software is shown with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. Pan & Scan chops the sides off widescreen material to make it fit the 4:3 screen (so even though the picture looks larger on the screen, you’re actually seeing less of the movie). See Screen sizes and disc formats on page 88 for more information.

Some
Some discs also support the Country code feature. The recorder does not play certain scenes on these discs depending on the Country code you set.
Before you can set the Parental Lock level or the Country code you must set a password. As the password owner you can change the Parental Lock level or Country code whenever you like. You can also change the password.
Note
•Not all discs that you may consider inappropriate for your children use the Parental Lock feature. These discs will always play without requiring the password first.
•If you forget the password, you can reset the recorder to its factory settings (see Resetting the recorder on page 87), then set a new password.
Parental Lock : Set Password
The password you set will enable you to change the Parental Lock level and Country code setting. It is also the password that you will need to enter if you want to play a disc with a parental lock level higher than the recorder.
