Note
If the Picture quality setting adjustment
screen is opened during playback of a DVD
being viewed in the letter box format, the
screen may switch to the wide screen
format. This is not a malfunction, and the
screen will return to normal when the
Picture quality setting adjustment screen is
closed.
The "Pure Cinema" mode
DVD-Video discs are recorded using one of two types of video signal:
"Video Master" signals are recorded at a rate of 30 frames per
second.
"Film Master" signals are recorded at a rate of 24 frames per second.
When a movie is shot, the film records the action at a rate of 24 frames
per second (24 Hz). When DVD-Video discs are recorded using a film
master, the [Pure Cinema] mode can convert these 24 recorded
frames per second into a 60 frame per second progressive scan
presentation resulting in a video image that best reflects the original
film as recorded to the disc. Therefore, you can enjoy watching a
cinematic presentation clearly and true to the original.
Generally, you will be able to enjoy watching movies and other
presentations with [Pure Cinema] set to "Auto". However, if the video
image is jagged or shakes during playback of certain discs, switch the
[Pure Cinema] setting to either "On" or "Off".
