-Letterbox: for a ‘wide-screen’ picture with black

bars at the top and bottom,

-Pan Scan: for a full-height picture with the sides trimmed. If a disc has Pan Scan, the picture then moves (pans) horizontally to keep the main action on the screen.

Digital output

Factory setting ‘All’ means that both coaxial and optical outputs are switched on, and that Dolby Digital Multi-channel is fed to the outputs as such MPEG audio is converted to PCM.

If your equipment doesn't include a digital Multi-channel decoder, set the digital output to ‘PCM only’ (Pulse Code Modulation). Both coaxial and optical outputs are then switched on, and Dolby Digital and MPEG audio are converted to PCM. If you are not connecting equipment with a digital input, change the setting to ‘Off’.
