GENERAL SETUP
The horizontal to vertical screen size ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, while that of wide screen and high
definition TVs is 16:9. This ratio is called the aspect ratio. When playing DVDs recorded in different screen
size, you should adjust the aspect ratio to fit your TV or monitor.
✱
For a standard TV, select either "4:3LB" or "4:3PS" option according to
personal preference. Select "16:9" if you have a wide screen TV.
: Select this to view a 16:9 picture in the
full-screen mode on your wide screen TV.
•You can enjoy the wide screen aspect.
: Select this to play a 16:9 picture in the
letter box mode on a conventional TV.
•Black bars will appear at the top and bottom of the
screen.
: Select this to play a 16:9 picture in the pan
& scan mode on a conventional TV.
•You can see the central portion of the screen only
(with the sides of the 16:9 picture cut off).

• Since DVD discs are recorded in various image formats, they will look different
depending on the software, the type of TV, and the TV aspect ratio setting.

With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s soundtrack in the most
accurate and realistic presentation possible, thanks to digital audio
technology. However, you may wish to compress the dynamic range of the
audio output (the difference between the loudest sounds and the quietest
ones). Then, you may listen to a movie at a lower volume without losing
clarity of sound. Set DRC to On for this effect.
