System settings

TV Display

Here you can adapt the output of the DVD-Player to the TV-aspect.

Concerning the background: If you do not have a wide screen TV the TV-aspect will be 4:3. However, most feature films have an aspect of 16:9, the image is therefore too wide for the TV-screen.

Here you can specify how the replay of the film is to be adapted to the playback device:

4:3 Panscan: You will only see the middle section of the film. The borders will be cut off.

4:3 Letterbox: You will see the complete width of the film. The film is thus reduced in size, whereby black bars appear below and above the film.
16:9 Wide: Select this option if you use a wide screen TV for replay. Please note that fi lms, that have been recorded with TV-aspect 4:3 can still be replayed using aspect 4:3. This means, that replaying this fi lm will not require the complete wide screen area of the television.
Wide Squeeze: Select this option if you use a wide screen TV for replay. This setting is used to adapt fi lms in 4:3 format to the aspect ratio of the widescreen television set. (Preferred setting for the built-in screen.)

NOTE: The setting „4:3 Panscan“ is not supported by all DVDs.

Angle Mark (Camera Angle)

If the DVD contains sequences recorded from different camera angles you can use the ANGLE/TTX button (Fig. 2/4) to select the various camera angles. This function is only available if the DVD contains scenes with various camera angles.

Before you can use this function it has to be activated.

On: The angle symbol is shown on the screen.
☐ Off: No angle symbol is shown on the screen.

OSD Language

Here you can select the language of the on-screen displays.

Digital Output

Here you specify the settings for the digital Audio output.

SPDIF/Off: Output of an analogue Audio signal, but no digital signal.
SPDIF/RAW: Output of a digital Audio signal. Use this setting if your amplifier is no two-channel stereo amplifier.
☐ SPDIF/PCM: Output of a digital Audio signal that is converted to a 2-channel signal. Use this setting if your amplifier is a two-channel stereo amplifier.

i NOTE:

If there is no Audio output, even though you connected the DVD-Player to an amplifier, you will most likely have chosen an incorrect setting for the Audio output.
