select your preferred option, and press the

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. 

If you are not getting any output from the speakers 

connected to this system, change the setting to 

LO/RO.
