SCAN TYPE

This determines if the component video output is interlaced (480i) or progressive scan (480p). Refer to your TV’s operating and connection instructions to find out if it is compatible with a progressive scan signal.

Note: If the HDMI OUTPUT is turned on the component video output will be forced to the interlaced setting and cannot be changed to progressive scan.

TV DISPLAY

This should be set to match your TV’s aspect ratio (screen shape). If your TV has a 4:3 aspect ratio select either 4:3 LETTERBOX or 4:3 PAN-SCAN. If your TV is a “widescreen” TV, select 16:9 WIDE.

-PAN-SCAN is useful for viewing a 16:9 or widescreen DVD on a 4:3 TV. PAN-SCAN automatically trims off the far left and right of the image so that the remaining picture completely fills your 4:3 TV screen.

-4:3 LETTERBOX preserves the full 16:9 or widescreen picture width, but it leaves black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.

TV SYSTEM

This determines if your D 200 will output an NTSC or a PAL signal. Set the TV SYSTEM according to your geographic location or refer to your TVs owner’s manual for the proper setting.

-NTSC is the television broadcast system used in North America and some Asian countries.

-PAL is most commonly used in Europe.

Note: Many newer TVs adjust for NTSC or PAL for- mats automatically. If you think your D 200 is set to the wrong setting because you cannot see any picture, see the FAQ section on page 29.

BLACK LEVEL

This allows you to select the intensity of the black output by the D 200. Please note that not all TVs are capable of displaying the darker black levels.
