MPEG Out
• Default setting:
MPEG > PCM
You only need to make this setting if you
connected this player to an AV receiver (or other
component) using one of the digital outputs.
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.
Video Output settings
TV Screen
• Default setting:
16:9 (Wide)
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 deter-
mine how the material is presented—see the
manual that came with your TV for details on
what options are available.
When set to
16:9(Compressed)
, progressive-
scan 4:3 material is shown with black bars on
either side of the screen.
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 wide-
screen 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 81.
• You can’t change the video output setting
when an HDMI component is connected.
Component Out
• Default setting:
Interlace
You only need to make this setting if you
connected this player to your TV using the
component video outputs.
If you have a progressive-scan compatible TV,
set this to
Progressive
for flicker-free video
output. If your TV is not compatible with
progressive-scan video, set to
Interlace
.
Check the operating instructions that came
with your TV if you’re unsure about its
compatibility.
