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 Screen sizes and disc formats on page 65.

S-Video Out

You only need to make this setting if you connected this player to your TV using an S- video cable.

•Default setting is S2.

If you find that the picture is stretched or distorted on the default S2 setting, try changing it to S1.

The default Frame setting produces a sharper image, but more prone to shake than field stills.

•Field – produces a stable, generally shake- free image

•Auto – automatically chooses the best setting each time

Depending on the disc, there are times when the picture quality may not become clear, even if Field is selected.
