Changing the initial settings
Notes/examples
• 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.
• 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.
• Normally, set to [AUTO].
• 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 9 and 10).
• Some DVD VIDEO discs may not
play correctly if AUTO is selected.
If the picture is unclear or noisy
with a particular DVD VIDEO disc,
try changing the mode.
• The screen saver function does not
work for still images during DVD
AUDIO playback.
• When a disc contains either only
MP3 files or only JPEG files, the
unit can play back the files
regardless of the setting.
