This menu item contains a number of different options, all concerned with the video output from the unit.

TV screen

[GENERAL q Video Out q TV Screen]

Because the shape of the television or monitor may not match the shape of the movie frame, you may need to change the way in which the image is displayed to avoid distortion on older televisions, which use a 4:3 aspect ratio; high-definition televisions use 16:9 (as do movies).

Note that you may need to read your television’s manual in conjunction with this section in order to achieve the best results. Some discs do not allow the aspect ratio to be changed and you will therefore have to change the aspect ratio on the TV.

Make this setting while playback is stopped; you cannot do this while playing back a disc.

16:9

Use with a 16:9 wide television.

4:3 picture 16:9 picture

4:3LB (Letterbox)

This mode is used with 4:3 televisions. 4:3 images are displayed normally. 16:9 images are visible at their full width, but a blank area is left at the top and bottom of the screen.

4:3 picture 16:9 picture

4:3PS (Pan & Scan)

This mode is used with 4:3 televisions. 4:3 images are displayed normally. When showing 16:9 programs, the full height of the screen is used, but the left and right part of the image are cut off.

S-Video output

[GENERAL q Video Out q S-Video Out]

If a television is connected using the S-Video output, the signal can be set to change the aspect ratio of the television automatically.

S1

The aspect ratio information (16:9 and 4:3) is included in the S1-Video signal.

S2

In addition to the information of S1, “4:3 Letterbox” information is included in the S2-Video signal. If your wide- screen television is compatible with S2-Video, correct aspect ratio will be selected automatically.

<If the picture is stretched or distorted, select “S1”.
