TV Display

Use to select the screen format to fit your TV screen.

4:3 PanScan - You can select this screen when connected to a normal TV set. The widescreen picture will display on the full screen, but some parts of the video picture will be cut off automatically.

4:3 LettBox - Alternatively you can select this screen when connected to a normal TV set. The full widescreen picture is displayed on the screen with black strips on the top and bottom of the screen.

16:9 Wide - Select this screen when connected to a widescreen TV set. The full picture will now normally be displayed with no picture cropping (unless the movie itself has black bars recorded into the video).

16:9 Wide/Auto - 16:9 (widescreen) as well as 4:3 sources will be displayed in their native aspect ratio. Please note that in this mode 4:3 sources will be displayed with black borders on both sides to maintain the correct 4:3 aspect ratio.

Note: If you are using a plasma or widescreen CRT display you will want to avoid leaving black bars on the screen for any length of time as you may encounter temporary "burn-in" where the display retains memory of the "used" part of screen and the unused (black bar) portions are clearly defined on the screen during subsequent viewing sessions. The "16:9 Wide" mode is the best choice for these types of displays.

Component Mode

 

Use to select between the following display modes for the Component

 

Progressive (P-Scan) - Is a method for displaying, storing or transmitting

 

moving images in which all the lines of each frame are drawn in

 

sequence.

 

Interlaced - In contrast to progressive, interlacing is used in traditional

 

television systems where only the odd lines, then the even lines of each

 

frame are drawn alternatively.

 

DVD-Audio Mode

 

Use to select which portion of a hybrid DVD-Audio disc to playback:

 

DVD-AudioPlays the DVD-Audio portion of the disc with surround

 

audio.

 

DVD-VideoPlays the DVD-Video portion of the disc with Dolby Digital.

 

or DTS audio.

 

Subtitle Font

 

Use to select the subtitle font size for DivX video. There are three font

 

sizes available. This setting applies only to DivX video files with a text

 

subtitle. DivX video files with a graphic subtitle do not use the DVD99’s

 

built-in font, so the font size cannot be adjusted.

 

Auto Play Mode

 

Use to select on or off for the disc to be automatically played when

 

inserted.

 

Screen Saver

If you activate the screen saver function, when the unit is stopped, the disc tray is open or there is no disc or the picture is still for about 60 seconds, a screen saver picture will appear. The purpose of this screen saver is to protect the display screen from damage (screen burn) by a static image. Screen burn can affect Plasma TVs but LCD and CRT TVs are largely immune to it.

Note: The default setting is 'On'.

SCART

Use to select between the following choices:

RGB - Enables interlaced scan RGB + Sync using the SCART/Peritel output on the rear panel.

YCbCr - Enables interlaced scan component using the 3 phono/RCA component outputs on the rear panel.

Multi-ChannelPlay the multi-channel surround audio.

2-ChannelPlay the 2-channel stereo audio.

CD Mode – Play the CD layer of a hybrid SACD disc.
