Screen sizes and disc formats
DVD-Video discs come in different screen
aspects, ranging from TV programs, which are
generally 4:3, to CinemaScope widescreen
movies
1
, with an aspect ratio of up to about 7:3.
Televisions also come in different aspect
ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.

Resetting the system
Use this procedure to reset all system settings
to the factory default. Use the front panel
controls to do this.
1
Switch the system into standby.
2
Press and hold the
(stop) button for
about 7 seconds until the display shows
‘MEM.CLR?’
3
Press the
button.
All the system’s settings are now reset, and
you should see
WELCOME
in the front panel
display.
Note
1 Many widescreen discs override the system’s settings so that the disc is shown in letterbox format regardless of the setting.
Set to 4:3 (Letter Box), widescreen
discs are shown with black bars top
and bottom.
Set to
4:3 (Pan&Scan)
, widescreen
discs are shown with the left and right
sides cropped. Although the picture
looks larger, you don’t actually see
the whole picture.
2 • Using the
16:9 (Wide)
setting with a standard 4:3 TV, or one of the
4:3
settings with a widescreen TV, will result in distortion.
• When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format, you can use the TV controls to select how the picture is presented. Your TV
may offer various zoom and stretch options; see the instructions that came with your TV for details.
• Some movie aspect ratios are wider than 16:9, so even with a widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a ‘letterbox’ style.
