Video output
With the option „Video“ you determine the signal format to be trans-
mitted to your replay device. Choosing the right signal format depends
on the type of connection and the replay device (see also the operating
manual of the replay unit).
Older replay units normally only support the so-called interlaced scan-
ning method („INTERLACE“). With this method the image is composed by
means of two successively built up elds. The rst eld thereby consists
of the even screen lines, the second one of the odd ones. With the „pro-
gressive“ Video signal, in contrast, the complete image is build up in a
single process. The thus achieved image quality is normally much higher.
The following options are available:
INTERLACE: Choose this option if your replay device does not
support progressive signals and is connected to the DVD-Player by
means of a Component-Video cable.
RGB: Choose this option if your replay device supports progressive
signals and is connected to the DVD-Player by means of an S-Video
cable or a Composite-Video cable.
PROGRESSIVE: Choose this option if your replay device supports
progressive signals and is connected to the DVD-Player by means of
a Component-Video cable.
S-VIDEO: Choose this option if your replay device supports pro-
gressive signals and is connected to the DVD-Player by means of an
S-Video cable.
NOTE:
If the DVD-Player is connected to the replay device by means of
a Composite-Video cable or a SCART-cable, you may choose any
setting from this menu.
TV Type
Here you can adapt the output of the DVD-Player to the TV-aspect.
Concerning the background: If you do not have a wide screen TV the TV-
aspect will be 4:3. However, most feature lms have an aspect of 16:9,
the image is therefore too wide for the TV-screen.
Here you can specify how the replay of the lm is to be adapted to the
replay device:
4:3 PAN SCAN: You will only see the middle section of the lm. The
borders will be cut o („Pan-Scan“).
16:9: Select this option if you use a wide screen TV for replay. Please
note that lms, that have been recorded with TV-aspect 4:3 can still
be replayed using aspect 4:3. This means, that replaying this lm will
not require the complete wide screen area of the television.
NOTE:
The setting „4:3/PAN SCAN“ is not supported by all DVDs.
