User’s Manual
Aspect Ratio
The following aspect ratios are available for playback:
16:9 (Wide)
Use this for 16:9 wide screen TV video output.
4:3 (Letterbox)
Use this to display full 16:9 video footage on a 4:3 TV screen. Black bars will appear at
the top and bottom of the screen.
4:3 (Pan Scan)
Use this for watching typical 4:3 TV broadcasts on a 4:3 television. If you do not like the
black bars produced by watching 16:9 video footage in letterbox mode, you can watch
them in 4:3; however, the sides of the image will be cropped to fit your screen.
See instructions on the DVD that you want to play for more information.
Channel Search
You must perform a channel search in order for the DVD recorder to recognize your
broadcast or cable channels for display and recording. If you did not perform a channel
search during initial setup, you can do it here.
Add/Delete Channel
You can delete channels after performing a channel search, or add channels that have
been previously deleted. First move to the channel that you want to add or delete. If
the channel has been previously deleted, you may need to use the numeric buttons to
directly enter the channel number.
If the channel is not already memorized by your DVD recorder, selecting Add/Delete will
add it to the memory. If the channel has already been memorized, then selecting
Add/Delete will delete it from your DVD recorder’s memory.
