Helpful Hints
•DVDs only play in the format in which they were recorded. For example, if the DVD case says the DVD is recorded in Letterbox or Widescreen format, you may play the DVD only with the black bars showing at the top and bottom of the widened picture. Even if you set TV DISPLAY to 4:3 PAN SCAN, the picture will show in the widened format.
•Some widescreen TVs may show only part of the DVD Player’s menu. Adjust the screen mode on your TV. See your TV owner’s manual for details.
