Condensation

Condensation may form inside the player if it is brought into a warm room from outside, or if the temperature of the room rises quickly.

Although the condensation won’t damage the player, it may temporarily impair its performance. Leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour before switching on.

Moving the player

If you need to move the player, first press

STANDBY/ON on the front panel to turn the player off. Wait for -OFF-to disappear from the display, then unplug the power cable. Never lift or move the unit during playback — discs rotate at a high speed and may be damaged.

Standard TV users

If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen setting (page 40) of this player should be set to 4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan&Scan), depending on which you prefer.

Set to 4:3 (Letter Box), widescreen discs are shown with black bars top and bottom.

Set to 4:3 (Pan&Scan), widescreen discs are shown with the left and right sides cropped. Although the picture looks larger, you don’t actually see the whole picture.

Screen sizes and disc formats

DVD-Video discs come in several different screen aspect ratios, ranging from TV programs, which are generally 4:3, to CinemaScope widescreen movies, with an aspect ratio of up to about 7:3.

Televisions, too, come in different aspect ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.

Widescreen TV users

If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen setting (page 40) of this player should be set to 16:9 (Wide) or 16:9 (Compressed).

When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format with the 16:9 (Wide) setting, you can use the TV controls to select how the picture is presented. Your TV may offer various zoom and stretch options; see the instructions that came with your TV for details.

Please note that some movie aspect ratios are wider than 16:9, so even though you have a widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a ‘letter box’ style with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.

Please note that many widescreen discs override the player’s settings so that the disc is shown in letter box format regardless of the setting.

Note

•Using the 16:9 (Wide) or 16: 9 (Compressed) setting with a standard 4:3 TV, or either of the 4:3 settings with a widescreen TV, will result in a distorted picture.
