Initial Settings
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
determine 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
widescreen 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 page 49.

connected this player to your TV using the AV
SCART-type connector.
•If you make a setting here that is
incompatible with your TV, the TV may

happens either switch everything off
