Disc Options
AutoPlay: When you select On, a pre-recorded DVD disc immediately starts playing after
you insert it into the player (there’s no need to press the PLAY button). With AutoPlay On,
recordable discs (DVD+R or DVD+RW) with content recorded on them will automatically
display contents.
Note: For CDs with mp3 or JPEG fi les on them, instead of playing automatically, the
contents of the CD (the fi les and/or folders) appear automatically.
Screen format: the setting you choose adjusts the way a movie appears on your TV (DVD
discs only). Standard TVs are 4 x 3 format. Depending on the type of television you have, you
may want to adjust the screen setting (also called the aspect ratio). The choices follow:
4 x 3 Letterbox
4 x 3 Standard
16 x 9
4 x 3 Letterbox – Choose this setting if you want to see movies in their original aspect
ratio (height-to-width ratio). You’ll see the entire frame of the movie, but it will take up a
smaller portion of the screen vertically. The movie might appear with black bars at the top
and bottom of the screen.
4 x 3 Standard – Choose this setting if you want the movie to fi ll the entire screen of
your TV. This might mean that parts of the picture (the left and right edges) won’t be seen.
Most discs that are produced in a widescreenonly format can’t be cropped in this fashion.
16 x 9 – Choose this setting if your DVD recorder is connected to a widescreen TV. If
you choose this setting and you don’t have a widescreen TV, the images on the screen
might appear distorted due to vertical compression. If you play a disc recorded in 4 x 3
format on a widescreen TV, the left and right sides of the screen will appear black.
Angle Icon: Some DVDs are produced with multiple camera angles. However, it is diffi cult to
know when the angle feature is available throughout a movie. If you turn on the Angle Display,
an icon will appear on the screen whenever multiple angles are available for a particular scene
in a movie.
