4:3 LTRBOX TO 16:9 – This mode is used to adjust an image which is designed to display a 16:9 movie on a 4:3 screen. In order to preserve the full width of the movie on a narrower screen, the image is reduced in size and black bars appear above and below it. This setting zooms in on the image, enabling it to fill the CVPD50’s 16:9 screen without losing any portion of the image. The image is simply enlarged so that its two sides fit the edges of the CVPD50 16:9 screen and the black bars on top & bottom are cropped off. The image is stretched in a linear fashion (evenly throughout the frame).

2.35LB TO 16:9 NL – This mode is used to adjust an image from a widescreen film which is actually at a wider ratio than the CVPD50’s 16:9 ratio. In order to fit on the smaller screen, the image is compressed in a nonlinear fashion, but no portion of the image is lost.

2.35LB TO 16:9 CROPPED – This mode is an alternative adjustment for a widescreen film. The image is not com- pressed or scaled in any way, but the outer edges are cropped, sacrificing a slight amount of the original content in exchange for 100% accurate image pro- portions.

4:3 HDTV TO 16:9 – As HDTV is new to the broadcast industry and there is still a considerable amount of older 4:3 stan- dard recording & broadcast equipment in use, 4:3 material is sometimes broadcast in HD 16:9 format with black or other color bars on its sides. Since these bars are a part of the actual picture, conven- tional picture resizing techniques do not work in eliminating them. This setting is specifically designed to address this problem. It first crops the bars off the sides of the 16:9 picture to render it a 4:3 picture, and then performs a natural-look- ing nonlinear stretch to fill the entire 16:9 screen.

The Letterbox adjustment is temporary, and will only apply to that disc. We encourage you to experiment with the modes to find one that suits you for a given presentation.

NOTE: The Letterbox and Frame func- tions are not available with the internal DVD/CD changer unless the DVD Auto Resize function has been turned off using the Screen setup menus. See page 57 for more information.

When pressed and held for at least two seconds, this button places the CVPD50 display screen in Screen Saver mode, in

which a JBL logo will appear to move around the screen. It is important to turn on the Screen Saver any time a still image is likely to remain on screen for more than a few minutes, as a still image, such as a menu display, may be “burned” into the display, causing perma- nent damage to the plasma screen that is not covered under warranty. This danger is not present when a moving image is displayed.

17PIP On-Off/PIP Swap Button:

When used with a PIP source whose composite video output has been con- nected to the Picture-in-Picture Composite Video Input a, press this button once to turn on the PIP function, and again to turn it off.

Pressing and holding this button for sev- eral seconds causes the main source to appear in the PIP inset display, and the PIP source to appear in the main display. Pressing and holding the button again returns the PIP source to the inset, and the main source to the main display.

18Auto/PIP Channel Up Button: In the Screen mode, this button selects automatic detection of the aspect ratio of program material, with playback in the 16:9 format, inserting black bars on the right and left sides as required for 4:3 images, unless you have configured your system to display 4:3 images stretched to fill the 16:9 screen. This function is not available with HD (480p or better) signals. See pages 13 and 27 for more information on configuring aspect ratios.

When used with a PIP-capable device whose composite video output has been connected to the Picture-in-Picture Composite Video Input a, pressing this button changes the channel of the PIP device to the next higher one. It has no effect on the CVR700 or CVPD50.

19Learn/Screen Standby/PIP Channel Down Button: Press this but- ton to begin the process of “learning” the codes from another product’s remote into the CVR700 secondary remote. (See page 93 for more information on using the remote’s learning function.)

When used in the Screen mode, this but- ton places the CVPD50 display in Standby mode, without affecting use of the CVR700. This function may be preferred for audio- only listening sessions to aviod burning a still image into the plasma display.

When used with a PIP-capable device whose composite video output has been

connected to the Picture-in-Picture Composite Video Input a, pressing this button changes the channel of the PIP device to the next lower one. It has no effect on the CVR700 or CVPD50.

20Light Button: Press this button to activate the remote’s backlight for ease of use in darkened rooms. The light will remain active for 7 seconds after this but- ton has been pressed, and will remain lit for an additional 7 seconds after any other button on the remote has been pressed.

21Program/Record Button: In the DVD mode, press this button to access the screen for programming play lists.

The Record function is used when the DR Input Selector 10 has been activated for use with an external recorder.

22Freeze/PVR List Button: In Screen mode, you may use this button to pause playback of the video picture while allow- ing the audio playback to continue unin- terrupted.

When a PVR is in use, press this button to list recorded materials. Refer to your PVR’s owner’s manual for information.

23Pause Button: This button may be used with the internal disc changer or with an external DVD or CD player or other playback device. Pressing the Pause button will pause play, allowing you to step forward frame by frame through a DVD with each press of the Forward Skip Button 30 . Press the Pause

Button again, or the Play Button 25 , to resume normal play.

24Frame/Stop/PVR Live Button: In Screen mode, this button performs the Frame function, which enables you to set the desired aspect ratio for viewing program materials, independent of the aspect ratio encoded on the disc. The following settings are available through the Frame function:

16:9 – This setting is used to display 16:9 program material in the full-screen 16:9 mode on the CVPD50.

4:3 TO 16:9 NL – This mode adjusts a 4:3 aspect ratio image to fill the CVPD50’s 16:9 screen while creating a more natural looking picture. This is accomplished by stretching the two sides of the picture more than the center of the picture where most of the content is.

4:3 LTRBOX TO 16:9 – This mode is used to adjust an image which is designed to display a 16:9 movie on a 4:3 screen. In order to preserve the full width of the
