Pioneer DV-F727 Setting the TV Screen Size, Differences in screen sizes and DVD formats

Setting the TV Screen Size

The width-to-height ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, while the width-to-height ratio of wide screen and high-definition TVs is 16:9. This width-to-height ratio is called the aspect ratio.

When viewing software recorded in different aspect ratios, the image’s height to width ratio can be switched to match the TV or monitor being used.

Make changes to the TV screen size in the [TV Screen] setting in the Setup screen Video menu. Please note that changes to the [TV Screen] setting cannot be made when a disc is playing. Stop playback of the disc before attempting to make any changes.

Notes

•If “Standard (4:3)” is selected in the Setup Navigator screen, “4:3 (Letter Box)” is selected on this screen. If you prefer the pan&scan format, change the settings on this screen.

•Whether the aspect can be switched or not depends on the disc. Please refer to the information written on the disc jacket, etc.

•Some discs may not include the screen format selected in the [TV Screen] setting. When this occurs, the standard TV screen format available on the disc is automatically selected.

•When a DVD is played back in the letter box format, Linear PCM digital audio playback is output is automatically downsampled to 48 kHz (when the original signal is 96 kHz). In order to hear audio at the sampling rate of 96 kHz, select either “Wide” or “4:3 (Pan & Scan)”.

Differences in screen sizes and DVD formats

The number of screen size formats currently available can be somewhat confusing. If set incorrectly, the video presentation may not appear as it should. The following diagrams and descriptions are intended to help you set your TV screen size in a way that will allow you to fully enjoy the digital video of DVD.

The settings in the [TV Screen] setting are perhaps most applicable when the DVD you are watching is programmed in the wide screen format. If you have a standard TV, select either “4:3 (Letter Box)” or “4:3 (Pan

&Scan)” based on your personal preference. If you have a wide screen TV, select “16:9 (Wide)”.
