GOLDMUND EIDOS 20DVD – CD/SACD/DVD Player- 34
15 INITIAL SETTINGS MENU (Ctd.)
15.5 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.
