Initial Settings menu

Using the Initial Settings menu

The Initial Settings menu gives you complete control in setting up your DVD system, including video output settings and parental lock settings, among others.

If an option is grayed out it means that it cannot be changed at the current time. This is usually because a disc is playing. Stop the disc, then change the setting.

1Press HOME MENU and select ‘Initial Settings’ from the on-screen display.

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 82.

AV Connector Out

European model only

You only need to make this setting if you connected this player to your TV using the AV SCART-type connector.
