If you have a conventional TV, choose either

4:3 (Letter

Box)

or

4:3 (Pan & Scan)

. In Letter Box mode,

widescreen software is shown with black bars at the top
and bottom of the screen. Pan & Scan chops the sides off
widescreen material to make it fit the 4:3 screen (so even
though the picture looks larger on the screen, you’re
actually seeing less of the movie). See

Screen sizes and

disc formats

on page 91 for more information.

Still Picture

• Default setting:

Auto

The recorder uses one of two processes when displaying
a still frame from a DVD disc. The default

Auto

setting

automatically chooses the best setting each time.

Field

– produces a stable, generally shake-free

image.

Frame

– produces a sharper image, but more prone

to shake than field stills.

Frame Search

• Default setting:

Off

On the default setting, the frame number is not displayed
when a DVD disc is paused, and the search by frame
number feature is not available. You can switch these
features on by changing this setting to

On

.

Seamless Playback

• Default setting:

Off

During playback of a VR mode Play List, you may notice
momentary interruption in the picture at edited points.
The Seamless Playback feature lets you trade-off
accuracy of the edit points for more seamless playback.
When switched

On

, you may notice that the edit points

are a few frames earlier or later than you set.

Parental Lock

• Default level:

Off

• Default password:

none

• Default Country code:

us (2119)

Some DVD-Video discs feature a Parental Lock level. If
the recorder is set to a lower level than the disc, it will
require you to enter a password before the disc will play.
This gives you some control about what your children
watch on your DVD recorder.

Some discs also support the Country code feature. The
recorder does not play certain scenes on these discs
depending on the Country code you set.

Before you can set the Parental Lock level or the Country
code you must set a password. As the password owner
you can change the Parental Lock level or Country code
whenever you like. You can also change the password.

Note

• Not all discs that you may consider inappropriate for

your children use the Parental Lock feature. These
discs will always play without requiring the password
first.

• If you forget the password, you can reset the recorder

to its factory settings (see

Resetting the recorder

on

page 90), then set a new password.
