Optimizing the System for a DVD

For optimal performance, follow the steps in this section in order when setting
up the DVS 204 for a DVD.

Setting up a DVD source

To get the best results when using a DVD as a video source, Extron recommends
that the DVD player itself be setup to output an aspect ratio of 16:9 and not 4:3.
Because all DVDs are mastered as 16:9, having them set up for anything else will
cause the player to internally scale and compress the signal. This scaling/
compression by the DVD player will defeat the advantage of having 3:2
pulldown detection in the DVS 204.

All sizing adjustments to correct aspect ratio should be done using the DVS 204.

To change the output aspect ratio of most DVD players,

Enter the DVD player’s Setup or Action menu while the disc is stopped.

Select a 16:9 aspect ratio.
