VIDEO OUTPUT SETTINGS

TV SCREEN

• Default setting: 4:3 (Letter box)

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 manual that came with your TV for details on what options are available.

When set to 16:9 (compressed), progressive-scan 4:3 material is shown with black bars on either side if the screen.

If you have a conventional TV, select either 4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan & Scan). In Letter Box mode, widescreen 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 actually seeing less of the picture).

Note: You can’t change an output setting when an HDMI component is connected.

COMPONENT OUT

• Default setting: Interlace

You only need to make this setting if you connected this player to your TV using the component video outputs.

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 Interlace. Check the operating instructions that came with your TV if you are unsure about this compatibility.
