Setting default options
The Video setup menu lets you change the video and
operational settings of the 596 DVD Player:
Note: The SCART switch option only appears with the SCART
version of the 596.
To set the default picture format
Some DVD video discs allow you to choose between the 4:3
(normal television) or 16:9 (widescreen) picture formats.
If you have a standard 4:3 television you also have the choice of
displaying widescreen pictures cropped to fill your television
screen (pan-scan), or with black bars above and below the
picture (letterbox).
● Highlight Display aspect in the Video setup menu, and press
Enter.
The Display aspect ratio menu is displayed:
● Press V or A to select the format of your TV, and press
Enter.
Note: The pan-scan feature is not available on some discs, in
which case letterbox format will be used.
To select the video output format
This option should be set according to which of the S-video or
