•If video from your DVD player has to go through your VCR to get to your TV, the copy-protection applied to some DVD programs could affect picture quality. If you still experience problems after checking your connections, please try connecting your DVD player directly to your TV’s S video-input, if your TV is equipped with this input (page 12).

•Except for Pan American and European models, the color system is different. Set the color system to match your TV (pages 12, 21).

The aspect ratio of the screen cannot be changed even though you set “TV TYPE” in “SCREEN SETUP” in the Setup Display when you play a wide picture.

•The aspect ratio is fixed on your DVD.

•If you connect the system with the S-video cable, connect directly to the TV. Otherwise, you may not change the aspect ratio.

•Depending on the TV, you may not change the aspect ratio.
