16 THE INTIAL SETTINGS MENU contd
MPEG Out
•
Default setting: MPEG > PCM
You only need to make this setting if you connected this system to a processor using one of
the digital outputs.
If your processor 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)
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.
When set to 16:9 (compressed), progressive-scan 4:3 material is shown with black bars on
either side if the screen.
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).
Note: You can't change an output setting when an HDMI component is connected.
