MPEG Out

You only need to make this setting if you connected this player to an AV receiver (or other component) using one of the digital outputs.

■Default setting: MPEG > PCM

Initial Settings
Digital Audio Out	Digital Out	MPEG
Video Output	Dolby Digital Out	MPEG > PCM
Language	DTS Out
Display	96 kHz PCM Out
Options	MPEG Out

If your AV receiver (or other connected component) is compatible with MPEG audio, set this to “MPEG”, oth- erwise set it to “MPEG > PCM” (MPEG audio is con- verted to more compatible PCM audio). Check the manual that came with the other component if you’re unsure whether it is MPEG audio compatible.

Video Output settings

TV Screen

■Default setting: 4:3 (Letter Box)

Initial Settings
Digital Audio Out
	TV Screen	4:3 (Letter Box)
Video Output	Component Out	4:3 (Pan&Scan)
Language	S-Video Out	16:9 (Wide)
Display
Options

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 determine how the material is presented—see the man- ual 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, wide- screen 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 image looks larger on the screen, you’re actu- ally seeing less of the picture). See also “Screen sizes and disc formats” on page 50. Pan & Scan only works with DVD-Video discs that support Pan & Scan.

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.

■Default setting: Interlace

Initial Settings
Digital Audio Out	TV Screen	Progressive
Video Output	Component Out	Interlace
Language	S-Video Out
Display
Options

If you have a progressive-scan compatible TV, set this to “Progressive” for flicker-free video output. If your TV is not compatible with progressive-scan video, set to Inter- lace.

Check the operating instructions that came with your TV if you’re unsure about its compatibility.

•When setting to “Progressive”, you have to press Enter once more to confirm. See also below for important information on progressive scan video.

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.

Important

•Australian model and when TV system is set to “AUTO” or “NTSC” only: 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 simultaneously, make sure that it is set to “Interlace.” See also “Setting the TV sys- tem” on page 50.

North American model

•When Component Out (see above) is set to “Pro- gressive”, 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 “Interlace.” See also “Setting the TV system” on page 50.

•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 the supplied video cable (see “Basic Setup” on page 19), then switch back to Interlace. Switch the player to standby then, using the front panel controls,

press Standby/On while pressing to switch the player back to “Interlace.”

•Australian model and when TV system is set to “AUTO” or “NTSC” only: When set to “Progressive”, PAL and NTSC discs are both output as progressive NTSC video. When TV System is set to “PAL” only: Progressive cannot be selected. See page 50.
