Rosen M10 Owner’s Manual
1) Make sure that the DVD player is set to “WIDE”.
2) Use the Display Mode button to select “Wide” or “Zoom”.
•
To view widescreen DVD’s, use “Wide”.
•
To zoom the picture, use the “Zoom” mode.
Note: This feature will slightly “crop” the edges of the image.
For best results when zooming in on DVD images, use the Disc
Zoom feature below - not the “Zoom” Display Mode.
If this solution still isn’t satisfactory, go to step 3.
3) With Rosen DVD players, use the Disc Zoom feature to
completely fill the screen. Again, the edges will be “cropped”,
but the screen will be filled.
Press the DISC ZOOM button during playback to select among the
following options: x1.5, x2, and x4. You can then use the arrow
buttons to shift the magnified image left and right.
Eliminating Black Bars when viewing a DVD :
Note: Best results are obtained by connecting only
widescreen displays to the M10. DVD players can provide
either widescreen video or standard, non-widescreen video -
they cannot provide widescreen video for one screen and
standard video for other screens. Your Rosen authorized
dealer offers a selection of high-quality widescreen
automotive displays.
WHY ARE THE BLACK BARS STILL THERE SOMETIMES?
There are three possible reasons for black bars to appear on the top
and bottom of an M10 display:
1) You are watching a widescreen movie with an aspect ratio
greater than 1.85:1. (For more options on dealing with this, see
below). Check the disc jewel box to determine the DVD’s aspect
ratio - if you see 2.3:1, 2.33:1, or 2.35:1, this applies.
2) The DVD player has been set for a 4:3 display instead of a
16:9, wide display.
3) The “widescreen” DVD movie you are viewing is not “anamorphic”
or “enhanced for widescreen televisions”. These films, often older
DVD conversions, are not recommended for viewing on
widescreen displays. You can usually determine if your DVD was
produced for optimum compatibility with widescreen televisions by
looking for the word “anamorphic” or the phrase “enhanced for
widescreen televisions” on the box.
WHAT CAN I DO?
First, Rosen recommends that for best results you use DVD’s that
say “anamorphic” or “enhanced for widescreen televisions” on the
box. However, this system can get rid of black bars with just about
any DVD, by following the steps on the next page.
Note: To watch “fullscreen” DVD’s or broadcast television
(using an optional TV tuner), you can use the DISPLAY MODE
button to select “STANDARD”. This will properly size the
image, instead of stretching the image across the wide
screen. In “STANDARD” mode, you will see black bars on the
sides of the image.
