Display Settings

Use the Screen Ratio to indicate if you have a standard (4:3) or widescreen (16:9) display. 16:9 (or 4:3) Movie Display Type determines how movies and videos are converted to fit the screen when they do not match the screen ratio. Letterbox keeps the video display undistorted and fills the extra space with black bars. CLPV is a video stretching technology from CyberLink that produces minimal distortion in the center of the picture. Pan & Scan displays the central portion of DVD titles in widescreen ratio, and allows you to drag the display area to view

different portions of the video. Color Profile allows you to change the overall color scheme of video content during playback. Original uses the color scheme of the disc you are watching. Vivid, Bright, and Theater add enhanced color to the video display. CLEV-2 is a video enhancement technology from CyberLink that dynamically adjusts the brightness, contrast, and saturation if the movie you are watching contains scenes that are overly dark or bright. Options other than Original require more system resources to run.

The Skin Type option allows you to change the overall appearance of the program.

Load Default Settings returns the settings on this page to their original values. If you modify any settings on this page, you must select Apply for these changes to take effect.

Audio Settings

Set Speaker Environment to match the number of speakers you have. Select SPDIF for digital audio output. Output Mode determines the special processing used on the audio signal. Experiment with the available settings to decide which you prefer.

Audio Channel Expander (Optional) expands the range of sound of 4, 6, or 8 speaker output. CLMEI 2 is an audio channel expansion technology from CyberLink that converts stereo audio sound and outputs it to multiple channels. There are three variations: CLMEI 2 - Movie for watching movies, CLMEI 2 - Music for regular music

output, and CLMEI 2 - Onstage for a more live sound. Dynamic Range Compression offers options for different listening environments. Normal Environment creates a standard virtual listening environment.

Quiet Environment emphasizes even the slightest sound effect in a movie. Noisy Environment amplifies low range audio signals, which is especially suitable for notebook computers.
