Tip:
If this player is set to output progressive-scan video, it’s possible
that the picture will appear stretched when playing discs recorded in
4:3 format. This happens when the TV’s aspect ratio is set at 16:9.
To see the picture in its correct aspect ratio, change the TV setting
to 4:3.
If your TV can be switched between 4:3 and 16:9, set this player to
[Interlace]
or
[Auto progressive]
. In Auto progressive mode, 4:3
discs will be played in Interlace mode, while discs that are recorded
in both 4:3 and 16:9 will play in interlace mode during the 4:3
sections, and in progressive mode during the 16:9 parts. Switch your
TV’s aspect ratio to the most suitable setting (for more details, see
the manual that came with your TV). When set to
[Auto
progressive]
, you may see picture disturbance when this player
(and the TV) switches between progressive and interlace modes.
This is not a malfunction of either this player or the TV. Picture
disturbance should only occur when switching from a menu screen
to the main feature, for example.
