If you have a widescreen TV, select the 16:9 (Wide) setting—widescreen DVD software is then shown using the full screen area. When playing software recorded in conventional (4:3) format, the settings on your TV will deter- mine how the material is presented—see the manual that came with your TV for details on what options are available.

If you have a conventional TV, select 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 wide- screen material to make it fit the 4:3 screen (so even though the image looks larger on the screen, you’re actually seeing less of the picture). See also Screen sizes and disc formats on page 59.

Component Out

You only need to make this setting if you connected this player to a progressive scan compatible TV using the component video outputs.

About progressive scan video

Compared to interlace video, progressive scan video effectively doubles the scanning rate of the picture, resulting in a very stable, flicker-free image. Progressive scan video is available only from the component video output.

•When Component Out (see above) is set to Progressive, there is no video output from the VIDEO OUT (composite) and S (S-video) jacks. If you want to display video on more than one monitor simulta- neously, make sure that it is set to Inter- lace.

•If you connect a TV that is not compatible with a progressive scan signal and switch the player to progressive, you will not be able to see any picture at all. In this case, switch everything off and reconnect using
