The Initial Settings Menu 08 If your AV receiver (or other connected component) is compatible with MPEG audio, set this to MPEG, otherwise set it to MPEG > PCM (MPEG audio is converted to more compatible PCM audio). Check the manual that came with the other component if you're unsure whether it is MPEG audio compatible. Video Output settings TV Screen • Default setting: 16:9 (Wide) Initial Settings Digital Audio Out Video Output Language Display Options Speakers TV Screen Auto Progressive S-Video Out Still Picture 4:3 (Letter Box) 4:3 (Pan&Scan) 16:9 (Wide) (DV-656A screen) 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 page 67. Auto Progressive (DV-656A only) • Default setting: Off You only need to make this setting if you connected this player to your TV using the component video outputs. Initial Settings Digital Audio Out TV Screen On Video Output Auto Progressive Off Language S-Video Out Display Still Picture Options Speakers When set to On, discs in 16:9 format are output as progressive video, while 4:3 format discs are output as interlaced video. This corrects a problem with some TVs that display 4:3 material stretched when fed a progressive scan signal. If you do not experience this problem you can leave this setting as Off. S-Video Out • Default setting: S2 You only need to make this setting if you connected this player to your TV using an S-Video cord. Initial Settings Digital Audio Out TV Screen S1 Video Output Auto Progressive S2 Language S-Video Out Display Still Picture Options Speakers (DV-656A screen) If you find that the picture is stretched or distorted on the default S2 setting, try changing it to S1.
