Notes/examples
• If you playback a "4:3" DVD VIDEO
source with the "16:9 NORMAL"
mode, the picture character slightly
changes due to the process for
converting the picture width.
• With some discs recorded by the
wide picture format, the picture is
shown in the 4:3 LB mode even if
you select the 4:3 PS mode.
• When progressive scan 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
