Setting the aspect ratio
There are two kinds of displays. A wide screen
display has a width-to-height ratio (TV aspect)
of 16:9, while a regular display has a TV aspect
of 4:3. If you use a regular rear display with a
TV aspect of 4:3, you can set the aspect ratio
suitable for your rear display. (We recommend
use of this function only when you want to fit it
to the rear display.)
p
When using a regular display, select either
“
Letter Box
”
or
“
Panscan
”
. Selecting
“
16:9
”
may result in an unnatural image.

structions.
Setting the parental lock
Some DVD-Video discs let you use parental
lock to set restrictions so that children cannot
watch violent or adult-oriented scenes. You
can set the parental lock level in steps as de-
sired.
p
When you set a parental lock level and then
play a disc featuring parental lock, code
number input indications may be dis-
played. In this case, playback will begin
when the correct code number is input.
Setting the code number and level
When you first use this function, register your
code number. If you do not register a code
number, parental lock will not operate.

The parental lock level is recorded on the
disc. You can confirm it by looking at the

disc itself. You cannot use parental lock
with discs that do not feature a recorded
parental lock level.

skip certain scenes only, after which normal
playback resumes. For details, refer to the
