If your AV receiver (or other connected component) is compatible with MPEG audio, set this to MPEG, otherwise set it to MPEG > PCM (MPEG audio is converted to more compatible PCM audio). Check the manual that came with the other component if you’re unsure whether it is MPEG audio compatible.

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 65.

AV Connector Out

• Default setting: Video

You only need to make this setting if you 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 not display any picture at all. If this happens either switch everything off and reconnect to the TV using either the supplied video cable, or an S-video cable (see pages 11 and 12 for more on this).

SCART cables come in various configu- rations. Make sure you use the correct one for your TV/monitor. See page 74 for the SCART pin assignment diagram

Video – Compatible with all TVs, but lowest quality of the three AV settings.

S-video– Almost the same quality as RGB, but can give better results if you are using a long SCART cable.

RGB – If your TV is compatible, this setting gives the best picture quality.

When the AV connector is set to output RGB video, the component video output is switched off. If you want to use the component video output, set the AV connnector to Video or S-Video.
