Customizing the Settings
You can set the Video Standard with this option.
Content Specific: The player automatically selects NTSC or
PAL depending on the disc.
NTSC: Plays the NTSC disc only.
PAL: Plays the PAL disc only.
This sets the screen size (4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio) accoding to the
connected TV.
16:9 Wide screen
Choose this setting if
your DVD Player is
connected to a wider
screen TV.
4:3 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 results in
the movie appearing with black bars
at the top and bottom of the screen.
4:3 Pan & Scan
Choose this setting if you want the
movie to fill the entire screen of your
TV. You won’t see some parts 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 the bottom of the screen.
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.
