(For details, refer to the explanation on the disc’s jacket.)
4:3 LETTER BOX:
Select this when connected to a conventional 4:3 size (normal
TV aspect ratio) monitor. There may be black stripes visible at
the top and bottom of the screen (when playing a 16:9 size
movie). The width of these stripes will depend upon the original
aspect ratio of the theatrical release of the movie.
4:3 PAN-SCAN:
Select this when connected to a conventional 4:3 size monitor.
The picture will fill the entire TV screen. However, due to the
mismatch in aspect ratio, parts of the movie at the extreme left
and right sides will not be visible (when playing a 16:9 size
movie).
16:9 WIDE:
Select this when connected to a wide screen TV. This is the
factory setting.
Changing the rating level temporarily
Some discs may request that you change the rating level set in
the default settings during playback. In this case, the message
“Do you wish to change Parental level? [OK] [Cancel]”.
If this screen appears, change the level as follows:
• To change parental level and play, touch [OK].
When [OK] is touched, the numeric keypad input screen is
displayed. Input the 4-digit password you set in “Setting the
Rating Level (Parental Lock)”, then touch [OK].
• To play without changing the parental level, touch [Cancel].
(If [Cancel] is touched, playback will be at the parental level set
in “Setting the Rating Level (Parental Lock)”.)
