Screen sizes and disc formats
DVD-Video discs come in several different
screen aspects, ranging from TV programs,
which are generally 4:3, to CinemaScope
widescreen movies, with an aspect ratio of up
to about 7:3.
Televisions, too, come in different aspect
ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.
Widescreen TV users
If you have a widescreen TV, the
TV Screen
setting (page 71) of this player should be set
to
16:9 (Wide)
.
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.
Please note that some movie aspect ratios are
wider than 16:9, so even though you have a
widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a
‘letterbox’ style with black bars at the top and
bottom of the screen.
Standard TV users
If you have a standard TV, the
TV Screen
setting (page 71) of this player should be set
to
4:3 (Letter Box)
or
4:3 (Pan&Scan)
,
depending on which you prefer.
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.
Please note that many widescreen discs
override the player’s settings so that the disc
is shown in letterbox format regardless of the
setting.
• Using the
16:9 (Wide)
setting with a
standard 4:3 TV, or either of the
4:3
settings with a widescreen TV, will result
in a distorted picture.
Selecting languages using the
language code list
Some of the language options (such as ‘DVD
Language’ in the Setup Navigator) allow you
to set your preferred language from any of the
136 languages listed in the language code list
on page 90.
