Notes
•The displayable picture size is preset on the DVD video disc. Therefore, the playback picture of some DVD video discs may not conform to the picture size you select.
•When you play DVD video discs recorded in the 4:3 picture size only, the playback picture always appears in the 4:3 picture size regardless of the TV shape setting.
•If you select “16:9 Widescreen” and you own a 4:3 TV set, the DVD playback picture will be horizontally distorted during playback. Images will appear to be horizontally compressed. Always be sure that your TV shape conforms to the actual TV in use.
Progressive 4:3 Output DVD-V VCD
Select the video output of pictures recorded in 4:3 format. (Only when connected to a PROGRESSIVE TV.)
Full: Displays pictures expanded horizontally to fill the 16:9 screen.
4:3: Displays images in 4:3 aspect ratio with masking bars to the left and right of the picture. (Select this option when a connected TV cannot select 4:3 picture size. However, subtitles or menus may not work properly.)
Progressive Conversion DVD-V
There are two types of source content in pictures recorded in DVD video discs: film content (pictures recorded from films at 24 frames per second) and video content (video signals recorded at 30 frames per second). Make this selection according to the type of content being viewed.
Auto: Select this position normally.
The DVD player automatically detects source content, film or video, of playback source, and converts that signal to the progressive output format in an appropriate method.
Video: The DVD player filters video signal, and converts it to the progressive output format appropriately.
Suitable for playback of video content pictures.
Film: The DVD player converts film content pictures to the progressive output format appropriately. Suitable for playback of film content pictures.
The progressive output feature will be most effective under this selection.
Note
Depending on the disc, pictures may be cut off or doubled. In this case, select “Video.”
Pause/Still DVD-V
Auto: For normal use. Still and fast motion images can be paused.
Frame: The resolution of still pictures is improved, so that you can make a motionless picture more clearer when you pause it.
