Setup

Display

You can confi gure various display options such as 
the TV Aspect, Resolution, etc.

TV Aspect

Depending on the type of television you have, you 
may want to adjust the screen setting.

4:3 Pan-Scan

Select when you want to see the 16:9 
video supplied by the DVD without the 
black bars on top and bottom, even 
though you have a TV with a 4:3 ratio 
screen(extreme left and right portion of 
the movie picture will be cut off).

4:3 Letter Box

Select when you want to see the total 
16:9 ratio screen DVD supplies, even 
though you have a TV with a 4:3 ratio 
screen. Black bars will appear at the 
top and bottom of the screen.

16:9 Wide

You can view the full 16:9 picture on 
your widescreen TV.

NOTE

When using HDMI, the screen is automatically converted to the 
16:9 Wide mode and TV Aspect is deactivated.
If a DVD is in the 4:3 ratio, you cannot view it in the wide screen.
Since DVD discs are recorded in various image formats, they will 
look different depending on the software, the type of TV, and the 
TV aspect ratio setting.

BD Wise 

(Samsung products only)

BD Wise is Samsung's latest inter-connectivity 
feature. When you connect Samsung products with 
BD-Wise to each other via HDMI, the optimum 
resolution will be set automatically.

On

 : The original resolution of the DVD disc will 

be output to the TV direct.

Off

 : The output resolution will be fi xed 

according to the Resolution previously set, 
regardless of the resolution of the disc. 

NOTE

This will optimize the picture quality according 
to the content (In the disc, DVD, etc) that you 
want to play and the product or your BD Wise-
compliant Samsung TV.
If you want to change the resolution in BD Wise 
mode, you must set BD mode to Off in advance.
If you set the BD Wise mode to Off, the 
resolution of the connected TV will be adjusted 
to its maximum resolution automatically.
BD Wise will be disabled if the product is 
connected to a device that does not support 
BD Wise.

Resolution

number in 480p(576p), 720p, 1080i and 1080p indicates 
the number of lines of video.
The i and p indicate interlace and progressive scan, 
respectively.

connected via HDMI to a TV with the BD Wise feature. (The 
BD Wise menu item appears only if BD Wise is set to On.)
