top and bottom of the screen.

4 x 3 Pan Scan: Choose this setting if the DVD
20 is connected to a conventional (4:3) TV set
and you want widescreen movies to fill the
entire screen. Note that this setting is effective
only with a few widescreen DVD’s recorded
with the Pan and Scan mode. With those
movies you won’t see parts of the picture (par-
ticularly the right and left edges).
Most discs produced in a widescreen format
can’t be cropped in this fashion, which means
the black bars will appear at the top and bot-
tom of the screen (letterbox format). Some
widescreen DVD’s, particulary anamorphic
types (with full vertical line resolution, see sec-
tion ”16x9”below), may be shown with origi-
nal width but spread vertically. With these disc,
the letterbox format must be selected.
This setting is usefull only with a few DVD’s,
with all others the letterbox format fits best.
■
16 x 9 Widescreen: Choose this setting if your
DVD player is connected to a widescreen TV, or
to a conventional (4:3) TV set to widescreen
(16:9) mode.
With this set up, discs recorded with 4:3
aspect ratio will appear as a boxed image in
the center of a 16:9 widescreen TV, with black
bars to the left and right of the image (not
with 4:3 TVs set to 16:9 mode). True
widescreen (anamorphic) DVD’s i.e. those
shown spread vertically when the DVD 20 is
set to "16:9" and your TV is set to "4:3", will
be shown optimally with full vertical resolu-
tion. With some 4:3 TV’s, set to 16:9 format,
discs with 4:3 format may be played com-
pressed vertically. With those discs the TV must
be set to 4:3 format.

SCART Connector
With this setting you can define the video format,
output by the TV SCART connector on the rear of
the DVD 20. As the SCART connector can output
Video (Composite), S-Video or RGB video signals,
you must define which video signal should be fed
to the TV through this connector, depending on
the TV used.
In addition to the video signal selected, the TV
SCART connector will output specific signals that
automatically turn the TV to the appropriate
Video Input, as soon as the DVD 20 is turned on,
and that automatically set the TV to sense only
RGB video from the SCART connector when the
DVD 20 is set to RGB (see below).
Notes:
When your TV has a SCART input, only
the DVD 20’s TV SCART output should be con-
nected to your TV, no other video connections
additionally (see page 12). Moreover, the control
signals mentioned above can be fed to the TV
only when connected direct to the DVD 20 via
SCART, without the use of any SCART <-> Cinch
Adapters.
To select the video format output by the TV
SCART connector follow these steps:
1. Select "TV Aspect" on the Set Up Menu, than
press ENTER or ARROW (right), the TV Aspect
Menu appears (see left).
