Setting up the video player Chapter 35 Setting up the video player Setting the aspect ratio There are two kinds of displays. A wide screen display has a width-to-height ratio (TV aspect) of 16:9, while a regular display has a TV aspect of 4:3. If you use a regular rear display with a TV aspect of 4:3, you can set the aspect ratio suitable for your rear display. (We recommend use of this function only when you want to fit the aspect ratio to the rear display.) p When using a regular display, select either "Letter Box" or "Pan Scan". Selecting "16:9" may result in an unnatural image. p If you select the TV aspect ratio, this product's display will change to the same setting. p This setting is available only when "Disc" is selected as the source. 1 Press the HOME button to display the Top menu screen. 2 Touch the following keys in the following order.

Pan Scan: Cuts the image short on the right and left sides of the screen. p When playing discs that do not have a pan- scan system, the disc is played back with "Letter Box" even if you select the "Pan Scan" setting. Confirm whether the disc package bears the mark. p The TV aspect ratio cannot be changed for some discs. For details, refer to the disc's instructions. Setting parental lock Some DVD-Video discs let you use parental lock to set restrictions so that children cannot watch violent or adult-oriented scenes.
