If you have a widescreen TV, select the 16:9 (Wide) setting—widescreen DVD software is then shown using the full screen area. When playing software recorded in conventional (4:3) format, the settings on your TV will deter- mine how the material is presented—see the manual that came with your TV for details on what options are available.

If you have a conventional TV, select either 4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan & Scan). In Letter Box mode, widescreen software is shown with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. Pan & Scan chops the sides off wide- screen material to make it fit the 4:3 screen (so even though the image looks larger on the screen, you’re actually seeing less of the picture). See also Screen sizes and disc formats on page 62.

Component Out

You only need to make this setting if you connected this player to a progressive scan compatible TV using the component video outputs.

If you have a progressive-scan compatible TV, set this to Progressive for flicker-free video output. If your TV is not compatible with progressive-scan video, set to Interlace. Check the operating instructions that came with your TV if you’re unsure about its compatibility.

When setting to Progressive, you have to press ENTER once more to confirm. See also below for important information on progressive scan video.

About progressive scan video

Compared to interlace video, progressive scan video effectively doubles the scanning rate of the picture, resulting in a very stable, flicker-free image. Progressive scan video is available only from the component video output.
