video material is played, this mode clips the right and

Scan mode playback are automatically played in
letterbox mode (black bands top and bottom).

material is played in this mode on a conventional TV
screen, black bands appear at the top and bottom of

16:9
— (Wide-screen TV): This is the correct mode for
playing wide-screen videos on a wide-screen TV.
• You must also set the screen mode on your wide-
screen TV to “FULL”.
NOTE
When recording wide screen material (16:9) from a
satellite broadcast in the Video mode:
• The screen becomes longer in the vertical direction when
playing back with this recorder or another DVD player
and viewing on a normal (4:3) TV.
• The screen also becomes longer in the vertical direction
when playing back with a PC capable of playing back
DVD video. (The output is set at 16:9 regardless of the TV
screen setting during playback.)
When recording wide screen material (16:9) from a
satellite broadcast in the VR mode:
• When playing back with this recorder and viewing with a
normal (4:3) TV, the screen size during playback can be
changed according to the setting for “TV MODE” of
“PLAYBACK SETUP”. However, if the recording mode of
the disc is set to LP or EP, the material will be played
back in “4:3 LB” even if “TV MODE” of “PLAYBACK
SETUP” is set to “4:3 PS”.
