Menu item Setting options Notes/examples
MONITOR TYPE
You can select the monitor type to
match your TV when you playback
DVD VIDEO discs recorded for
wide-screen televisions.
• 16:9 NORMAL (Wide Television
screen)
Should be selected when you
connect the unit to a wide-screen
(16:9) TV whose aspect ratio is set
to 16:9 (the unit automatically
adjusts the screen width of the
output signal correctly when
playing back a 4:3 source).
• If you play a 4:3 DVD VIDEO source
using the "16:9 NORMAL" mode, the
picture character changes slightly
due to the process for converting
the picture width.
• 16:9 AUTO (Wide Television screen)
Should be selected when you
connect a wide-screen (16:9) TV to
the unit.
• 4:3 LB (Letter Box Conversion)
Should be selected when you
connect a normal (4:3) TV to the
unit.
When playing back a DVD VIDEO
disc recorded in wide picture
format, the picture is shown with
black bars at the top and bottom.
• 4:3 PS (Pan Scan Conversion)
Should be selected when you
connect a normal (4:3) TV to the
unit.
When playing back a DVD VIDEO
disc recorded in wide picture
format, the picture is zoomed to fill
the screen vertically, and the left
and right sides of the image are
chopped off.
• With some discs recorded in wide
picture format, the picture will be
shown in the 4:3 LB mode even if
you select the 4:3 PS mode.
PROGRESSIVE MODE
When the unit is in the progressive
scanning mode, you can select a
desired mode from three options.
Normally, set to "AUTO."
•VIDEO
Suitable for playing back a video
source disc.
• When progressive scanning mode
is active, the PROGRESSIVE
indicator is lit. Note that the color of
indication changes depending on
this setting, source type and the
unit’s status (see pages 7 and 8).
• Some DVD VIDEO discs may not be
played back correctly with the
"AUTO" mode. If the playback
picture is unclear or noisy with a
particular DVD VIDEO disc, try to
change the mode.
•FILM
Suitable for playing back a film
source disc.
•AUTO
Used to playback a disc containing
both video and film source
materials.
The unit recognizes the picture type
(film or video source) of the current
disc according to the disc
information.
