Additional information

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; “stan- dard” 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.

Widescreen TV users

If you have a widescreen TV, the “TV Screen” setting (page 46) 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.

Standard TV users

If you have a standard TV, the “TV Screen” setting (page 46) 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.

Resetting the player

Use this procedure to reset all the player’s settings to the factory default.

1

Switch the player into standby.

 

2

Using the front panel buttons, hold

 

 

down the (stop) button and

 

press STANDBY/ON to switch the

 

player back on.

 

All the player’s settings are now reset.

Setting the TV system (Not North American model)

The default setting of this player is “AUTO”, and unless you notice that the picture is distorted when playing some discs, you should leave it set to “AUTO”. If you experience picture distortion with some discs, set the TV system to match your country or region’s system. Doing this, however, may restrict the kinds of disc you can watch. The table below shows what kinds of disc are compatible with each setting (“AUTO” , “PAL” and “NTSC”).

STANDBY/ON

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

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)” set- ting with a standard 4:3 TV, or either of the 4:3 set- tings with a widescreen TV, will result in a distorted picture.
