Screen sizes and disc formats

DVD-Video discs come in several different screen aspect ratios, ranging from TV programs, which are generally 4:3, to Cinema- Scope widescreen movies, with an aspect ratio of up to about 7:3.

Televisions, too, come in different aspect ratios; “stan- dard” 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.

Widescreen TV users

If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen setting (page 43) of this player should be set to “16:9 (Wide)”. When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format, you can use the TV controls to select how the picture is pre- sented. Your TV may offer various zoom and stretch options; see the instructions that came with your TV for details.

Please note that some movie aspect ratios are wider than 16:9, so even though you have a widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a “letter box” style with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.

Standard TV users

If you have a standard TV, the “TV Screen” setting (page 43) of this player should be set to “4:3 (Letter Box)” or “4:3 (Pan&Scan)”, depending on which you prefer.

Setting the TV system (Not North American model)

The default setting of this player is AUTO, and unless you notice that the picture is distorted when playing some discs, you should leave it set to AUTO. If you expe- rience picture distortion with some discs, set the TV sys- tem to match your country or region’s system. Doing this, however, may restrict the kinds of disc you can watch. The table below shows what kinds of disc are compatible with each setting (AUTO, PAL and NTSC).

Set to “4:3 (Pan&Scan)”, widescreen discs are shown with the left and right sides cropped.

Although the picture looks larger, you don’t actually see the whole picture.

Please note that many widescreen discs override the player’s settings so that the disc is shown in letter box format regardless of the setting.

Note:

•Using the “16:9 (Wide)” setting with a standard 4:3 TV, or either of the “4:3” settings with a widescreen TV, will result in a distorted picture.

•You have to switch the player into standby (press Standby/On) before each change.
