playback or eject the disc before trying to change these setup items. If you still cannot access the setup item, please check for configuration conflicts and consistency. For example, if the audio “Down-mix” mode is set to “Stereo”, the center and rear speaker size settings will be grayed-out. Setting the “Down-mix” mode to “5.1CH” will enable the center and rear speaker size settings.

Determine Your Display Type

Widescreen, or 16:9 TV Standard Definition, or 4:3 TV

For best performance, your OPPO DVD player must be correctly configured for playback even before the first disc is inserted. This is done under General Setup Page > TV Display in the Setup Menu.

--- General Setup Page ---

TV Display	16:9 Wide
Screen Saver	On
Light Control	On
Angle Mark	Off
DVD-Audio Mode	DVD-Audio
SACD Priority	Multi-Channel
Divx(R) VOD
Subtitle Font	Font3

If you have a widescreen (16:9) display as pictured on the left, select one of these options:

•16:9 Wide – 16:9 (widescreen) sources will be displayed in their native aspect ratio, and 4:3 sources will be stretched.

•16:9 Wide/Auto – 16:9 (widescreen) as well as 4:3 sources will be displayed in their native aspect ratio. Please note that in this mode 4:3 sources will be displayed with black borders on both sides to maintain the correct 4:3 aspect ratio.

NOTE

If you are using a plasma or widescreen CRT display you will want to avoid leaving black bars on the screen for any length of time as you may encounter temporary burn-in where the display retains memory of the “used” part of screen and the unused (black bar) portions are clearly defined on the screen during subsequent viewing sessions. The “16:9 Wide” mode is the best choice for these types of displays.

If you have a 4:3 or standard definition screen as pictured on the right, select one of these options:

•4:3 Pan/Scan – 4:3 TV Pan and Scan. Choose when the display is 4:3. Both sides of a widescreen image are clipped (you lose about 30% of the picture).

•4:3 Letterbox – 4:3 TV Letterbox. Choose when the display is 4:3. Widescreen image is displayed in “letterbox” format with black borders on top and bottom (preferred).
