Problems with condensation
Condensation may form inside the player if it is
brought into a warm room from outside, or if
the temperature of the room rises quickly.
Although the condensation won't damage the
player, it may temporarily impair performance.
Leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature
for about an hour before switching on.
Moving the system unit
If you need to move the main unit, first remove
a disc if there's one in the player, then press
STANDBY/ON on the front panel to turn the
system off. Wait for --Off-- to disappear from
the display, then unplug the power cord.
Never lift or move the unit during playback —
discs rotate at high speeds and may damage.
Screen sizes and disc formats
DVD-Video discs come in different screen
aspects, ranging from TV programs, which are
generally 4:3, to CinemaScope widescreen
2
movies
, with an aspect ratio of up to about 7:3.
Televisions also come in different aspect ratios;
'standard' 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.
Widescreen TV users
If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen
setting (page 53) of this player should be set to
16:9 (Wide) or 16:9 (Compressed).
When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format
with the 16:9 (Wide) setting, you can use the
TV controls to select how the picture is
presented. Your TV may offer various zoom and
stretch options; see the instructions that came
with your TV for details.
Note
1 Unplugging the unit before --Off-- disappears from the display may cause the system to return to the factory settings.
2 Many widescreen discs override the system's settings so that the disc is shown in letterbox format regardless of the setting.
3 Using the 16:9 (Wide) or 16:9 (Compressed) setting with a standard 4:3 TV, or one of the 4:3 settings with a widescreen TV,
will result in picture distortion.

Please note that some movie aspect ratios are
wider than 16:9, so even though you have a
widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a
'letter box' style with black bars at the top and
bottom of the screen.
Standard TV users
If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen
setting (page 53) of this player should be set to
4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan & Scan),
depending on which you prefer.

actually see the whole picture.
