If the connected component is compatible
with high sampling rates (96 kHz), set this to
Down Sample Off, otherwise set it to Down
Sample On (96 kHz audio is converted to a
more compatible 48 kHz). Check the manual
that came with the other component if you're
unsure whether it is 96 kHz compatible.
• Even when set to Down Sample Off,
some discs will still output down-
sampled audio through the digital
outputs (you only get full sampling rate
audio through the analog outputs).

If you have a widescreen TV, select the 16:9
(Wide) setting—widescreen DVD software is
then shown using the full screen area. When
playing software recorded in conventional
(4:3) format, the settings on your TV will
determine how the material is presented—
see the manual that came with your TV for
details on what options are available.
US model only: When set to 16:9 (Com-
pressed), progressive-scan 4:3 material is
shown with black bars on either side of the
screen.
If you have a conventional TV, select 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 image looks
larger on the screen, you're actually seeing
less of the picture). See also page 85.
