Dynamic Range
DVD
Dynamic Range setting allows you to “compress” the dynamic
range of a DVD’s sound track, so that you can lower the volume
without losing extremely soft signals. This is especially useful
when you are watching a movie late at night.
Off: Full dynamic range is maintained.
On: Dynamic range is reduced.
Notes
• This function works only during playback of Dolby Digital recorded discs.
• The level of Dynamic Range Reduction may differ depending on the DVD.
TV Aspect
DVD
This sets the screen size (4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio) according to the
connected TV.
4 x 3 Letterbox: Choose this setting if you would
prefer to see movies in their
original aspect ratio. You will see
the entire frame of the movie,
but it will occupy a smaller
portion of the screen. This
setting may result in the movie
appearing with black bars at the
top and bottom of the screen.
4 x 3 Pan Scan: Choose this setting if you want
the movie to fill the entire screen
of your TV. You won’t see part
of the picture (particularly the
right and left edge).
Some disc produced in a wide
screen format can’t be cropped in
this fashion, which means the
black bars would appear at the
top and bottom of the screen.
16 x 9 Widescreen: Choose this setting if your DVD
Player is connected to a
widescreen TV.
Notes
• The displayable picture size is preset on each DVD-Video. Therefore, the
playback picture of some DVD-Video may not conform to the picture size
you select.
• When you play a DVD-Video recorded in the 4:3 picture size only, the
playback picture always appears in the 4:3 picture size regardless of the TV
shape setting.
• If you select “16:9 Widescreen” and you own a 4:3 TV set, the DVD
playback picture will be horizontally distorted during playback. Images
will appear to be horizontally compressed. Make sure the TV Shape
conforms to the actual TV in use.
