Setting the aspect ratio
There are two kinds of display. A wide screen
display has a width-to-height ratio (TVaspect)
of 16:9, while a regular display has a TV aspect
of 4:3. If you use a regular rear display has a
TV aspect of 4:3, you can set the aspect ratio
suitable for your rear display. (We recommend
use this function only when you want to fit it to
rear display.)
p When using a regular display, select either
Letter Box or Panscan. Selecting 16:9 may
result in an unnatural picture.
1 Touch [DVD-V Setup] in
System Settings menu.
2 Touch [TVAspect].
Each touch of [TVAspect] changes the set-
tings as follows:
! 16:9 — Wide screen picture (16:9) is dis-
played as it is (initial setting)
! Letter Box — The picture is in the shape of
a letter box with black bands at the top and
bottom of the screen
! Panscan — The picture is cut short at the
right and left of the screen
p When playing discs that do not have a pan-
scan system, the disc is played back with
[Letter Box] even if you select [Panscan]
setting. Confirm whether the disc package
bears the
16 : 9 LB
mark.
Setting the parental lock
Some DVD-Video discs let you use parental
lock to set restrictions so that children cannot
watch a violent and adult oriented scenes. You
can set the parental lock level in steps as de-
sired.
p When you set a parental lock level and then
play a disc featuring parental lock, code
number input indications may be dis-
played. In this case, playback will begin
when the correct code number is input.

dren is possible

p We recommend that you keep a record of
your code number in case you forget it.
p The parental lock level is recorded on the
disc. You can confirm it by looking at the
disc package, the included literature or the
disc itself. With discs that do not feature a
recorded parental lock level, you cannot

skip certain scenes only, after which normal
playback resumes. For details,refer to the
