TV Screen
• Default setting: 4:3 (Letter Box)
If you have a widescreen TV, select the 16:9
(Wide) setting—widescreen DVD software is
then shown using the full screen area. When
playing software recorded in conventional
(4:3) format, the settings on your TV will
determine how the material is presented—
see the manual that came with your TV for
details on what options are available.
If you have a conventional TV, select either 4:3
(Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan & Scan). In Letter
Box mode, widescreen software is shown with
black bars at the top and bottom of the
screen. Pan & Scan chops the sides off
widescreen material to make it fit the 4:3
screen (so even though the image looks larger
on the screen, you’re actually seeing less of
the picture). See also Screen sizes and disc
formats on page 56.
AV Connector Out
You only need to make this setting if you
connected this player to your TV using the AV
SCART-type connector.
• Default setting: Video
• If you make a setting here that is
incompatible with your TV, the TV may not
display any picture at all. If this happens
either switch everything off and reconnect
to the TV using either the supplied audio/
video cable, or an S-Video cable (see
page 13 and page 14 for more on this).
• SCART cables come in various
configurations. Make sure you use the
correct one for your TV/monitor. See
page 62 for the SCART pin assignment
diagram.
• Video – Standard video, compatible with
all TVs.
• S-Video – Higher quality, but check your
TV for compatibility.
• RGB – Best quality, but check your TV for
compatibility.
S-Video Out
You only need to make this setting if you
connected this player to your TV using an S-
video cable.
