TV Display Setting: selecting the aspect ratio
The aspect ratio of a television is the relationship
between its width and height, and it defines the shape
of the picture. Television sets traditionally have an
aspect ratio of 4:3. Since most DVD discs are recorded
in “wide aspect ratio” formats, the picture must be
adjusted to fit on your screen.
•
NORMAL/PS: The Pan and Scan presentation crops
both sides of the wide screen format to
fill the standard 4:3 television screen.
•
NORMAL/LB: The Letterbox presentation places black
bars at the top and bottom portions of
the screen to provide the full wide
screen format of a movie on a standard
4:3 television screen.
•
WIDE
:
When connecting to a wide screen 16:9
television, select this option. The unit
automatically sets and outputs a
recorded signal in correct aspect ratio.
Notes:
•
The default setting is NORMAL/PS.
•
Some DVD discs do not permit Pan and Scan mode
playback and will automatically playback in Letterbox
mode, and vice versa.
•
Be sure to set the screen mode on your wide-screen TV to
“FULL”.
•
If the WIDE option is selected with a standard 4:3
television, the playback picture will appear distorted
(objects will look thin).
Selecting the on screen display (OSD) language
This setting is used to establish the language that will
be displayed for all operations and on screen
messages. To change this setting, use the setup menu,
select general setup, to access the following screen:
•
Select one of the five available languages: ENGLISH,
FRENCH, GERMAN, ITALIAN and SPANISH.
•
The default setting is ENGLISH.
•
If the selected language is not recorded on the DVD
disc, the player will automatically default to the disc’s
initial language setting.
Notes:

The default setting is LT/RT.
