Setting the aspect ratio
There are two kinds of displays. A wide screen
display has a width-to-height ratio (TV aspect)
of 16:9, while a regular display has a TV aspect
of 4:3. If you use a regular rear display with a
TV aspect of 4:3, you can set the aspect ratio
suitable for your rear display. (We recommend
use of this function only when you want to fit
the aspect ratio to the rear display.)
p When using a regular display, select either
“Letter Box” or “Pan Scan”. Selecting
“16:9” may result in an unnatural image.
p If you select the TV aspect ratio, this pro-
duct’s display will change to the same set-
ting.
p This setting is available only when “Disc” is
selected as the source.

! 16:9 (default):
Displays the wide screen image (16:9) as it
is (initial setting).
! Letter Box:
Makes the image in the shape of a letterbox
with black bands on the top and bottom of
the screen.
! Pan Scan:
Cuts the image short on the right and left
sides 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 the “Pan
Scan” setting. Confirm whether the disc
package bears the
mark.
p The TV aspect ratio cannot be changed for
some discs. For details, refer to the disc’s
instructions.
Setting parental lock
Some DVD-Video discs let you use parental
lock to set restrictions so that children cannot
watch violent or adult-oriented scenes. You
can set the parental lock level in steps as de-
sired.
p This setting is available only when “Disc” is
selected as the source.
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 start
when the correct code number is input.
Setting the code number and level
When you first use this function, register your
code number. If you do not register a code
number, the parental lock will not operate.
