Using the DVD’s Menu System

VIDEO Menu

The VIDEO menu enables you to choose the ASPECT ratio for your TV. This is also useful if you decide to connect a larger TV to this unit. Use the same method for moving through the menus as you did for the O.S.D. language.

The settings in the SYSTEM and OUTPUT options of the VIDEO menu are automatically programmed. You can’t change them.

ASPECT Ratio

Choose one of three options that are available: 4:3 LB (Letter Box), 4:3 PS (Pan Scan), 16:9 WS (Wide Screen).

4:3 LB (Letter Box): Choose this option if you want to see movies in their original aspect ratio (height-to-width ration). This option shows the entire wide screen film frame on a 4 x 3 screen by proportionately reducing the height of the wide screen image. Then its width fits the screen and fills in the top and bottom spaces with black bars.

4:3 PS (Pan Scan): Choose this option if you want the movie to fill the entire screen of your TV/DVD. This shows only the most important parts of the image and excludes the less important parts (the left and right edges).

Note: Most discs produced in a widescreen format can’t be cropped in this fashion. This means the black bars appear at the top and the bottom of the screen.
