This step selects the TV aspect, conventional screen shape (4:3) or
widescreen (16:9), according to your TV set:

• 4 x 3 letterbox : Choose this setting if the DVD10 is connected to a

conventional (4:3) TV set and you would prefer to see movies in their
original aspect ratio. You will see the entire frame of the movie and
DVDs recorded with normal 4:3 format will fill the entire screen. But
movies in widescreen will occupy a smaller portion of the screen, with
black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.

• 4 x 3 Pan Scan : Choose this setting if the DVD10 is connected to a

conventional (4:3) TV set and you want widescreen movies to fill the
entire screen. You won’t see parts of the picture (particularly the right
and left edges).
Many discs produced in a wide screen format can’t be cropped in this
fashion, which means the black bars will appear at the top and  bot-
tom of the screen (letterbox format). Some widescreen DVDs, particu-
lary anamorph types ( with full vertical line resolution), may be shown
with original width but spread vertically. With those disc the letter box
format must be selected.

• 16 x 9 Widescreen : Choose this setting if your DVD player is connected

to a widescreen TV or to a conventional (4:3) TV, set to widescreen
(16:9) mode.
With this set up, widescreen discs will be shown optimally, i.e. with full
vertical resolution. With some 4:3 TV, set to 16:9 format, discs with 4:3
format may be played compressed vertically. With those discs the TV
must be set to 4:3 format.

To select TV Aspect follow these steps:

1. Press ARROW (UP or DOWN) on the remote to select TV Aspect on the

SET UP MENU DISPLAY.

2. Press ENTER or ARROW (right), TV Aspect Menu appears.

3. Press ARROW (UP or DOWN) on the remote to select specific TV

Aspect Menu.

4. Press ENTER.

5. Press PLAY to resume normal playback or RETURN to delete Set Up

Display from screen.

This setting enables Dolby Digital recordings to be played back with full
dialogue intelligibility while reducing peak levels and increasing low lev-
els by 1/4 to 1/3. This smooth level compression prevents abrupt loud
transitions from disturbing others without reducing the impact of the dig-
ital source perceptibly.

To select Dynamic Range Compression:

1. Press ARROW (UP or DOWN) on the remote to select Dynamic Range

on the SET UP MENU DISPLAY.

2. Press ENTER (Dynamic Range Menu appears).

3. Press ARROW (UP or DOWN) on the remote to select dynamic range

mode (on or off).

4. Press ENTER.

5. Press PLAY to resume normal playback.

• This function only works with Dolby Digital DVD and in conjunction

with the Dolby Digital Decoder connected to the digital output of
DVD1, depending on its ”Night Mode” setting:

• When Dynamic Range is off, normal audio range is selected.

• When Dynamic Range is On and ”Night Mode” on decoder is off, nor-

mal audio range is selected.

• Dynamic compression is activated only when Dynamic Range on

DVD10 is on AND “Night  Mode” on the decoder is on.

This setting determines the digital signal format to be output from the
optical/coaxial digital audio output of the DVD10. The optimal setting
will depend on the digital decoder connected to that output.

• PCM: Choose this setting if the decoder connected to the digital output

is able to decode only normal PCM data rather than Dolby Digital or
DTS. PCM and Dolby Digital tracks will be output as PCM datastream
only, DTS tracks will output no signal (see also comment in ”Dolby
Digital”below).

• Dolby Digital: Choose this setting if you connected a Dolby Digital

receiver or decoder to your DVD player, but without DTS decoder. PCM
and Dolby Digital tracks will be output, DTS tracks will output no signal
(see also information note below). But with virtually all DTS discs a 2-
channel digital audio track can be selected as other Audio Track (by
pressing the Audio button on remote, see page 16), that will deliver
PCM signal to the digital output.

• DTS: Choose this setting if you connected a receiver or decoder to your

DVD player with Dolby Digital and DTS decoding. Then all recordings
will be output and played, whether PCM, Dolby Digital or DTS format.

To select Digital Audio Output format follow these steps:

1. Press ARROW (UP or DOWN) on the remote to select Digital Audio Out

on the SET UP MENU DISPLAY.

2. Press ENTER or ARROW (right), Digital Audio Out Display appears.

3. Press ARROW (UP or DOWN) on the remote to select specific Digital

Audio Out Menu.

4. Press ENTER.

5. Press PLAY to resume normal playback or RETURN to delete Set Up

Display from screen.

Important : DTS information
If you set the Digital Audio Out Menu to DTS, to listen to DTS you must
have your DVD player connected to a receiver or DTS decoder with DTS
decoding and the disc you play must contain DTS audio. If you choose
DTS and you play a DTS disc, but your receiver or decoder doesn’t 
support DTS, you won’t hear any audio when you play the disc.
