Setting the aspect ratio
There are two kinds of displays. A wide screen
display has a width-to-height ratio (TVaspect)
of 16:9, while a regular display has a TV aspect
of 4:3. If you use a regular rear display with a
TV aspect of 4:3, you can set the aspect ratio
suitable for your rear display. (We recommend
use of this function only when you want to fit it
to the rear display.)
p When using a regular display, select either
“Letter Box” or “Panscan”. Selecting
“16:9” may result in an unnatural image.
1 Display the “DVD/DivX® Setup” screen.

Setup menu on the previous page.
2 Touch [TVAspect].
Each touch of [TVAspect] changes the setting
as follows:
! 16:9: Wide screen image (16:9) is displayed
as it is (initial setting).
! Letter Box: The image is in the shape of a
letter box with black bands at the top and
bottom of the screen.
! Panscan: The image is cut short at the right
and left of the screen.
p When playing discs that do not have a pan-
scan system, the disc is played back with
“Letter Box” even if you select“Panscan”
setting. Confirm whether the disc package
bears the
mark.
p Some discs do not enable changing of the
TVaspect. For details, refer to the disc’s in-
structions.
Setting the parental lock
Some DVD-Video discs let you use parental
lock to set restrictions so that children cannot
watch violent or adult-oriented scenes. You
can set the parental lock level in steps as de-
sired.
p When you set a parental lock level and then
play a disc featuring parental lock, code
number input indications may be dis-
played. In this case, playback will begin
when the correct code number is input.
Setting the code number and level
When you first use this function, register your
code number. If you do not register a code
number, parental lock will not operate.
