The subwoofer features a 400watt RMS power amplifier and a 12-inch cast-basket woofer.

This manual describes the CVR700 control center, and the CVPD50 50-inch highdefinition plasma display. Together with the CVSAT50, CVCEN50 and CVSUB50 loudspeakers, the JBL Cinema Vision system delivers a complete home theater experience, including high-quality playback of most optical discs.

The CVPD50 and CVR700 have been engineered so that it is easy to take advantage of all of the power of their digital technology. However, to obtain the maximum enjoyment from your new home the ater system, we urge you to read this manual. A few minutes spent learning the functions of the various controls will enable you to take advantage of all the power these components are able to deliver.

If you have any questions about these products, their installation or operation, please contact your retailer or custom installer, as they are your best local sources of information.

CVPD50 50-Inch High-Definition Plasma Display Monitor

The CVPD50 is a state-of-the-art, true high-definition plasma display that may be used to display HDTV cable or satellite television signals, as well as movies played using the CVR700’

s internal DVD changer, or it may be used with a personal computer, as well as other external devices such as video gaming consoles and recording devices. The sophisticated processor automatically configures 4:3 video sources for full-screen 16:9 display,

but purists may manually set the processor to display 4:3 video images without scaling or adjustment. The CVPD50 offers stunning picture quality, even under normal lighting conditions, thanks to its 3,000:1 contrast ratio and 1,000cd/m

brightness rating. The digital video processor on board the CVR700 outputs a digital video signal via a single, proprietary connection to the CVPD50 display. (The CVPD50 display requires the CVR700 control center for operation.)

CVR700 7 x 100 Watts System Control Center

The CVR700 is a unique multifeatured component, combining audio and video source selection and processing with a five-disc magazine changer capable of playing DVD-Audio, DVD-Video, CD, CDR/RW, DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW, MP3, WMA, Kodak

Picture CD, VCD and JPEG discs. Video playback using the internal DVD changer is of the highest quality, benefiting from pixel-by-pixel processing and digital output to the plasma display. The CVR700 is capable of reconstructing the 3/2 pulldown effect introduced when film-based programs are transferred to video. In conjunction with precision video output DACs, the result is a full 60-frameper-second image that is the closest thing to film this side of your local cinema.

The audio section includes all of the latest surround sound processing formats, including Dolby* Digital, Dolby Pro Logic* IIx, Dolby Headphone, DTS

DTS Neo:6

, DTS 96/24 and Logic 7®. High-efficiency digital amplifiers are designed to match the characteristics of the JBL Cinema V

ision speakers, preserv ing signal quality and delivering the power and fidelity you expect from JBL.

In addition to providing a wide array of listening and viewing options, the CVR700 is easy to configure so that it provides the best results for your specific listening environment and viewing preferences. On-screen menus make it simple to customize system settings, on-screen status banners streamline user interaction, and the EzSet remote automatically measures and calibrates sound levels for a perfectly balanced sound field presentation.

Although the CVR700 is designed to be used with the internal DVD changer and CVPD50 display, it also includes a full complement of inputs and outputs that are normally found only on standalone audio/video receivers. It includes

, DTS-ES®,

audio/video source inputs for two recording devices, a cable television/satellite receiver/HDTV tuner, a personal computer and an auxiliary device. A sixth source

may be connected to the front-panel jacks, which include not only analog audio and video inputs, but S-video, com

ponent video and optical and coaxial digital audio inputs. A front-panel optical digital audio output enables recording with compatible portable devices. Dedicated rear-panel digital audio inputs (4 optical and 4 coaxial) are pre-assigned to the sources, and 2 outputs (1 optical and 1 coaxial) are also provided. An HDCP (high-definition copy-protected) DVI video input may be used with a DVI-enabled HDTV tuner, a satellite or cable set-top box, or a DVD player, or with a personal computer featuring a DVI or Analog VGA video output. A composite video input may be used with the PIP (picture-in-picture) function for simultaneous viewing of two video sources using either a traditional small screen inset or a split screen.

A universal remote control operates all devices, and may be programmed to operate other components in your system, such as a VCR, personal video recorder (PVR), or other devices. The main remote control is easy to program using its two-line LCD text display. A second, simplified remote is also included.

that create a safety and fire hazard and may damage the unit.

If you have any questions about the voltage requirements for your specific model, or about the line voltage in your area, contact your selling dealer before plugging the unit into a wall outlet.

Do Not Use Extension Cords

We do not recommend that extension cords be used with this product. As with all electrical devices, do not run power cords under rugs or carpets or place heavy objects on them. Damaged power cords should be replaced immediately by an authorized service center with cords meeting factory specifications.

Handle the AC Power Cord Gently

When disconnecting the power cord from an AC outlet, always pull the plug; never pull the cord. If you do not intend to use the unit for any considerable length of time, disconnect the plug from the AC outlet.

Do Not Open the Cabinet

There are no user

-serviceable components inside this product. Opening the cabinet may present a shock hazard, and any modification to the product will void your guarantee. If water or any metal object such as a paper clip, wire or a staple accidentally falls inside the unit, disconnect it from the AC power source immediately

, and consult an authorized

service center.

Installation Location

n To ensure proper operation, and to

avoid the potential for safety hazards, place the unit on a firm and level surface. When placing the unit on a shelf, be certain that the shelf and any mounting hardware can support the weight of the product.

n Make certain that proper space is pro-

vided both above and below the unit for ventilation. If this product will be installed in a cabinet or other enclosed area, make certain that there is sufficient air movement within the cabinet.

n Do not place the unit directly on a

carpeted surface.

n Avoid moist or humid locations. n Avoid installation in extremely hot or

cold locations, or an area that is exposed to direct sunlight or heating equipment.

n Do not obstruct the ventilation slots

on the sides of the unit, or place objects directly over them.

Cleaning

When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft, dry cloth. If necessary, wipe it with a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water, then a fresh cloth with clean water.

Unpacking

Cartons and shipping materials used to protect your new system components during shipment are specially designed to cushion them from shock and vibration. We suggest that you save the carton and packing materials for use in shipping if you move, or should the unit ever need repair.

To minimize the size of the cartons in storage, you may wish to flatten them. This is done by carefully slitting the tape seams on the bottom, and collapsing the carton down to a more two-dimensional appearance. Other cardboard inserts may be stored in the same manner. Packing materials that cannot be collapsed should be saved along with the carton in a plastic bag.

If you do not wish to save the packaging materials, please note that the carton and other sections of the shipping protection are recyclable. Please respect the environment and discard those materials at a local recycling center.

Photo CD discs (Kodak Picture CD discs, which are available to consumers, contain files in the JPEG format which may be viewed using the CVR700.)

NOTE: Due to differences in the format ting of certain discs, it is possible that some discs may include features that are not compatible with the CVR700. Similarly, although the CVR700 is capable of a wide range of features, not all discs include every capability of the DVD sys tem. For example, although the CVR700 is compatible with multi-angle discs, that

ture or soundtrack option is available, please check the options noted on the disc jacket.

• Playback capability for CD- or DVDrecordable discs may vary due to variations in the quality of the disc and the recorder used to create the disc.

• The CVR700 is compatible with most discs recorded with files encoded using MP3 or Windows Media 9, as well as JPEG still images. However variations in the encoder or codec used and the bit rate of the encoding may affect the CVR700’s ability to play back a specific disc. As a result, we cannot guarantee complete compatibility with all encoders and versions of the codecs. For best results, we recommend that MP3 files be encoded at bit rates ranging between 32kbps and 320kbps. WMA files should be encoded at bit rates between 16kbps and 192kbps. JPEG files should contain no more than 5 megapixels, and the file size should be no larger than 5Mb.

Note on DVD-Audio Discs: Due to the newness of this format and some authoring issues, it is possible that some DVDAudio discs will not play, or that all features and menus may not be available. Note that in many cases, in order to access the disc menu, instead of pressing the

Menu Button j , it is neces-

sary to press the

Title Button y or the

Audio Button U. In addition, many

DVD-Audio discs provide two menus: a DVD-Audio menu and a DVD-V intended for use on older players that do not support the DVD-Audio format. If you wish to view the DVD-Video menu and access surround modes and other fea tures only available through that menu (such as Dolby Digital 5.1 or PCM audio tracks), you will need to temporarily dis able the CVR700’s DVD-Audio capability

Home theater equipment has changed a great deal since the first VCR was introduced about 30 years ago. Some of the terms used to describe and configure your CVPD50 PDP plasma display monitor and the internal DVD/CD changer in your CVR700 may be unfamiliar these terms are described in this section.

Since they share some of the characteristics and technology of CD players, many of the terms and operational concepts used in a DVD player are similar to what you may be familiar with from CD players and changers, or older video disc formats such as Laser Disc. However, if this is your first DVD product, some of the terms used to describe the features of a DVD player may be unfamiliar. The following explanations should solve some of the mysteries of DVD, and help you to enjoy all the power and flexibility of the DVD format and the CVR700.

With the arrival of DVD, disc data capacity has increased dramatically. On a DVD Video disc, most of this capacity is taken up by MPEG 2 video and the multichannel movie soundtrack in Dolby Digital and/or DTS. This information is compressed. But with DVD Audio, most of this capacity is available for music only, without any compression. This allows us to put the audio information on the disc in the same quality as the original mastering in the studio, in PCM up to 24-bit/192kHz.

DVD-Audio’s 24-bit system provides substantially improved resolution of fine detail, because it describes a specific point in the musical information using a 24-digit-long string of ones and zeros with 16,777,216 possible combinations, while CD’s primitive 16-bit system offers only 65,536 options. The 192kHz frequency allows us to have fast changes in music made audible, which results in more dynamism, and also allows us to obtain a higher bandwidth, up to 96kHz. Although that is far beyond the human audible spectrum, it still improves the musical realism.

Aspect Ratio: This is a description of the width of a video image in relation to its height. A conventional video screen is four units wide for every three units of height, making it almost square. Newer wide-aspect-ratio video displays are 16 units wide for every nine units of height, making them more like the screen in a movie theater. The program material on a DVD may be recorded in either format.

trol to select either the “2.35 LTRBOX TO 16:9” or “2.35 LB TO 16:9 CROPPED” mode, choosing the mode that provides the picture most pleasing to you. Note that the cropped mode may leave out portions of the frame in order to fit the image to the

NOTES:

n Due to the advent of HD (high-defini-

tion) programming and the new 16:9 (also called 1.85 or widescreen) aspect ratio, many newer sources now offer their own scaling (resizing of the picture to fit a frame) options which are accessed through their remote or through their on-screen menu. T

o take advantage of CVR700’s robust scaling capabilities, it is best to allow the CVR700 to handle all rescaling duties. This means that all high-definition external sources connected to CVR700 should be configured to supply a 16:9 picture to CVR700 if at all possible and all non-HD legacy sources should supply their native 4:3 (otherwise called 1.33 or FULL SCREEN) aspect ratio (with older devices, there are usually no adjustments or options for picture size, anyway). Regarding HD sources, some experimentation may be necessary, as not all offer a basic 16:9 aspect ratio option without other parameter settings. The correct mode may be called 16:9 FULL SCREEN in some brand products; in other brand products, you may need to select the 16:9 aspect ratio separately from selecting FULL SCREEN scaling. Some experimentation with the settings on your source device may be necessary to find the most pleasing appearance.

n There are two film formats commonly

used in movie theaters today that are close to the 16:9 aspect ratio of your CVPD50 screen – 1.85:1 and 2.35:1. The aspect ratio of your screen is

1.78:1, which is very close to the

1.85:1 film ratio that is found in many movies recorded on DVDs or broadcast on television, and these programs will fill your screen. However, some movies are filmed in the wider 2.35:1 ratio. Check the jacket of your DVD to find its aspect ratio. When playing such a DVD on your JBL Cinema Vision system, if you have turned off the DVD Auto Resize feature, or if your analog

screen, and you may prefer the scaled mode, even though black bars will appear on the top and bottom of your screen.

If you have turned off the DVD Auto Resize feature, you may also choose how to view 4:3 ratio images. Y

ou may view the image as is, in which case black bars will appear on the left and right sides of the screen. You may set the system to stretch the image to fill the screen, using either linear (the stretch is even across the entire image) or non-linear (the stretch is more pronounced towards the edges of the image, leaving the center nearly unmodified) scaling. When the 4:3 ratio image consists of a letterboxed movie, you may simply zoom in to remove the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.

This form of video

signal eliminates many of the artifacts of traditional composite video signals by splitting the signal into a separate lumi nance channel (the Y signal channel) and two color-difference signals (the Pr and Pb signal channels). With a component video connection, you will see greater picture resolution and eliminate many picture imperfections such as the moiré patterns often seen on check-patterned cloth. However, in order to benefit from component video you must have a video display with Y/Pr/Pb component video inputs. Do not connect the component video outputs of the CVR700 to the stan dard composite or S-video inputs of a TV or recorder

NOTE: The CVR700 is optimized to be used with the CVPD50 High-Definition

Plasma Display. Composite, S-video and component video monitor outputs on the CVR700 are provided as a means of connecting an auxiliary display only. Onscreen status messages, and all digital video post-processing – including scaling, de-interlacing, and upconversion features of the CVR700 – are only available when used with the CVPD50.

When using the CVR700 with the CVPD50 display, there is no need to use the CVR700’s component video outputs. All video signals, including those from the internal DVD/changer as well as those originating with external source devices, are upconverted to the digital format utilized by the single proprietary interface cable between the CVR700 and the CVPD50.

High-Definition Television (HDTV):

HDTV is a form of digital television that advances picture quality by leaps and bounds over conventional analog television. HDTV signals are broadcast in a digital format that compresses the signal, allowing far more information to be sent. Broadcasters take advantage of the additional bandwidth by offering high-resolution images containing millions more pixels than an analog picture, the end result being an image so sharp it looks more like a photograph than television.

The resolution of a digital video signal can vary, depending on the number of pixels used, and whether the image frames are interlaced or progressive. Conventional television uses interlaced frames, in which first the odd horizontal pixels are scanned, then all of the even pixels are scanned to display one frame. Progressive scanning, as described below

, displays all of the horizontal lines of pixels in one pass. These are the common digital video formats:

• 480i – The picture is 704 x 480 pixels,

sent at 60 interlaced frames per sec ond (30 complete frames per second).

• 480p – The picture is 704 x 480 pixels,

sent at 60 complete frames per second.

• 720p – The picture is 1280 x 720 pix-

els, sent at 60 complete frames per second.

• 1080i – The picture is 1920 x 1080

pixels, sent at 60 interlaced frames per second (30 complete frames per second).

• 1080p – The picture is 1920 x 1080 pixels, sent at 60 complete frames per second.

The “p” and “i” designations stand for “progressive” and “interlaced.”

The 480p and 480i (when digital) formats are called the SD (standard-definition) formats, and 480i is the digital equivalent of a normal analog TV picture. When analog TV shows are upconverted and broadcast on digital TV stations, they are broadcast in 480p or 480i.

The 720p, 1080i and 1080p formats are HD (high-definition) formats. When you hear about “HDTV,” this is what is being discussed – a digital signal in the 720p, 1080i or 1080p format. If your HD source allows you to choose a picture resolution, set it to 720p, which works best with the CVR700 and CVPD50.

Strictly speaking, the 480p format is considered ED (enhanced definition). However, the JBL Cinema Vision system processes 480p signals as high-definition, and when referring to high-definition signals, we will be talking about 480p or better images.

JPEG Files: JPEG stands for the Joint Photographic Experts Group, which developed a standard for compressing still images, such as photographs. JPEG files may be created on a personal computer by importing images from a digital camera, or scanning printed photographs. These files may be burned onto a compact disc. The CVR700 is among the DVD players that are capable of recognizing JPEG files and enabling you to view them on your video screen.

MP3 Files: MP3 is an audio compression format that was developed by the Motion Picture Experts Group as an adjunct to the MPEG-1 video compression format. A number of encoding software programs

are available for transferring CDs and

other audio programs into the MP3 for mat. The main benefit of MP3 is that it reduces the size of audio files consider ably, depending on the amount of compression selected during the encoding process, enabling you to store many more songs on one compact disc than in the standard audio CD format. The CVR700 is capable of playing MP3 files and displaying the filenames on screen.

Multiple Angle: DVDs have the capability to show up to four different views of

the same scene in a program. When a disc is encoded with multiple-angle information, pressing the

will enable you to switch

Angle Button

between these different views. Note that, at present, few discs take advantage of this capability and, when they do, the multiple-angle technology may only be present for short periods of time within the disc. Producers will usually insert some sort of icon or graphic in the picture to alert you to the availability of multipleangle scenes.

Progressive scan: If you are using the CVR700 with the CVPD50 display, and with no external DVD players, you may skip this section, as the internal DVD player outputs a digital video signal that is passed directly to the CVPD50 using the proprietary interface cable. The CVR700 offers progressive scan video outputs for use with compatible high-resolution televisions and projectors. Before DVD, no consumer medium could store, transmit or display video with full resolution. To conserve bandwidth, analog compression (interlacing) is employed: first the odd-numbered lines of a frame are displayed, followed by the even-numbered lines. The result is that only half of the video image is drawn at one time; the viewer’s brain must reassemble the complete image. This is acceptable, if the monitor is not too large and if there is not too much motion in the image. Large displays and fast-moving images reveal the limitations of this system. Thanks to

s immense data capacity, images are

DVD’ now stored intact (progressively), so that all the lines in each frame (odd and even) are shown at the same time. But because most TVs cannot handle a progressive signal, all current DVD players generate an interlaced output for compatibility CVR700 is among the select few DVD players with true progressive scan video output for use with compatible TVs and CRT projectors and with all plasma, LCD

and DLP display devices via the compo nent video output. The result is 40%

greater light output than a conventional TV and a stunningly detailed high-definition image, along with an almost com plete absence of visible scanlines and motion artifacts. The CVR700’s sophisticated pixel-by-pixel processing is a major advancement over the previous generation’s line-by-line processing, bringing out even greater detail in your favorite video presentations. Of course, traditional Y/Pr/Pb component video, S-video and

WMA Files: WMA (Windows Media

Audio) is another audio compression format that was developed by the Microsoft

Corporation for use with its Windows Media Player. WMA files can be even smaller in size than MP3 files, while maintaining similar quality. The CVR700 is among the DVD players capable of playing discs containing WMA files. Note that Windows Media Player uses other file formats; however, the CVR700 is only capable of playing files that end in the “.wma” extension.

E Lower Display Line: Depending on

the unit’s status, a variety of messages will appear here. In normal operation, the current surround mode will appear on this line.

F Speaker/Channel Input Indicators:

These indicators are multipurpose, indicating both the speaker type selected for each channel and the incoming data signal configuration. The left, center, right, right surround and left surround speaker indicators are composed of two boxes, while the subwoofer is a single box. The inner box lights when a “small” speaker is selected, and the outer boxes light when “large” speakers are selected. When none of the boxes are lit for the center, surround or subwoofer channels, no speaker has been assigned that position. (See page 48 for more information on configuring speakers.) The letters inside each box display the active input channels. For standard analog inputs, only the L and R will light, indicating a stereo input. For a digital source, the indicators will light to display the channels being received at the digital input. When the letters flash, the digital input has been interrupted. When a 6.1-channel bitstream is detected, a horizontal line will appear between the icons for the surround back left and right channels to indicate that these two channels are in mono mode. (See page 61 for more information on the Channel Indicators.)

∞ Fan Slots: These ventilation holes are the output of the CVR700’s airflow system. To ensure proper operation of the unit and to avoid possible damage to del icate surfaces, make certain that these holes are not blocked and that there is at least three inches of open space between the vent holes and any wooden or fabric surface. It is equally important to make sure that the holes in the top and bottom covers of the unit are not blocked, either. It is normal for the fan to remain on at all times at one of three speeds, depending on the selection you make in the

ADVANCED SETTINGS

submenu. By selecting the default MINIMUM NOISE setting, the fan will run at its slowest speed at volumes below –20dB, and at its slightly faster medium speed at higher volumes. This setting should only be selected when the CVR700 is placed on a shelf and not within an enclosed space. When the CVR700 is placed inside a cabinet or other enclosed space, select the MAXIMUM COOLING setting, in which the fan will always be on at its highest setting.

§ Subwoofer Output: Connect this jack to the line-level input of a powered subwoofer. If an external subwoofer amplifier is used, connect this jack to the subwoofer amplifier input. Use a Y-adaptor when connecting two subwoofers.

¶ DVI/Computer Analog Audio Inputs:

Connect the left/right analog audio outputs of a computer or other device with a DVI output to these jacks to benefit from the CVR700’s surround processor for added realism and excitement when playing computer games,

or giving multimedia presentations, or for other uses. When you have also connected the computer’s DVI video output to the

DVI/Computer Video Input

, you may also benefit from the superior visual presentation of the JBL Cinema V

ision CVPD50 screen.

You may connect any device with left and right analog audio outputs to these jacks.

• Auxilliary Analog Audio/Video Inputs:

Connect the left/right analog audio and composite or S-video jacks of a video device to these jacks. You may connect any video source such as a VCR, HDTV receiver, or other device to these inputs. Note that if the source device offers digital audio capability, that connection must be made separately, and the CVR700 configured accordingly. Note that the Auxiliary Source Input does not have component video inputs assigned to it

and thus may only be used with compos-

ite or S-video. Therefore, if possible, it is recommended that an HDTV receiver be used with the Cable/Sat or even the Digital Recorder source, so that a component video connection may be made. (See page 46 for more information on configur ing an input for various source options.)

IMPORTANT NOTE: The JBL Cinema Vision remotes are powerful devices capable of controlling virtually your entire home cinema system. In comparison to a traditional system of the same capabilities, these remotes can replace up to 10 separate remote controls and therefore end the confusion and clutter associated with having a different remote for each of your system components. In order to achieve this goal, the JBL Cinema Vision remotes are designed to assume the duties of controlling different devices within your system by first pressing one of the 10

In Screen mode, you may use this button to pause playback of the video picture while allowing the audio playback to continue uninterrupted, enabling you to capture an instance or frame of the video.

P Random/Letterbox Button: This button’s function differs, depending on whether the internal disc changer (DVD/Main mode) or the Screen mode is active. To use this button, be careful to press only on the upper portion of the button, as other functions are accessed by pressing on the lower portion of the button.

In DVD/Main mode, press this button for playback in random order. The Random function is not available when playing DVD-Audio or DVD-Video discs unless a playlist has been programmed, and it is not available at all for JPEG discs.

In Screen mode, when using the internal DVD changer, this button is only active if the Auto Resize feature is turned off via the SCREEN MENU (see page 57). This button performs the Letterbox function, which enables you to adjust the screen to eliminate black bars that may appear on the top and bottom or sides of the image due to the aspect ratio of the program material differing from the 16:9 aspect ratio of the CVPD50. In most cases, the CVR700’s video processor is able to automatically detect the aspect ratio setting

of the program material and adjust the display automatically to fill the screen. However, in some cases the material may be a movie displayed in (2.35:1) format, or the material

widescreen

may not contain embedded information necessary for the CVR700 to make an automatic adjustment. The available letterbox modes are:

16:9 – This setting is used to display 16:9 program material in the full-screen 16:9 mode on the CVPD50. This setting will also apply a linear (consistent) stretch to a 4:3 picture.

4:3 LTRBOX TO 16:9 – This mode is used to adjust an image which is designed to display a 16:9 movie on a 4:3 screen. In order to preserve the full width of the movie on a narrower screen, the image is reduced in size and black bars appear above and below it. This setting zooms in on the image, enabling it to fill the CVPD50’s 16:9 screen without losing any portion of the image. The image is simply enlarged so that its two sides fit the edges of the CVPD50 16:9 screen and the black bars on top and bottom are cropped off. The image is stretched in a linear fashion (evenly throughout the frame).

2.35 LB TO 16:9 NL – This mode is used to adjust an image from a widescreen film which is actually at a wider ratio than the CVPD50’s 16:9 ratio. In order to fit on the smaller screen, the image is compressed in a nonlinear fashion, but no portion of the image is lost.

2.35 LB TO 16:9 CROPPED – This mode is an alternative adjustment for a widescreen film. The image is not compressed or scaled in any way, but the outer edges are cropped, sacrificing a slight amount of the original content in exchange for 100% accurate image proportions.

4:3 HDTV TO 16:9 – As HDTV is new to the broadcast industry and there is still a considerable amount of older 4:3 standard recording and broadcast equipment in use, 4:3 material is sometimes broadcast in HD 16:9 format with black or other color bars on its sides. Since these bars are a part of the actual picture, con ventional picture resizing techniques do not work in eliminating them. This setting is specifically designed to address this problem. It first crops the bars off the sides of the 16:9 picture to render it a 4:3 picture, and then performs a natural-looking nonlinear stretch to fill the entire 16:9 screen.

The Letterbox adjustment is temporary and will only apply to that disc. We encourage you to experiment with the modes to find one that suits you for a given presentation.

Additional aspect ratio adjustments are available using the

Frame Button Q.

Q Repeat/Frame Button: This but-

s function differs depending on

ton’ whether the internal disc changer (DVD/ Main mode) or the Screen mode is active. To use this button, be careful to press only on the lower portion of the button, as other functions are accessed by press ing on the upper portion of the button.

In DVD mode, pressing this buttons accesses the Repeat functions. You may repeat a chapter, track, title, disc, file or programmed playlist. For JPEG discs, you may repeat one file or one folder, but the repeat disc function is not available.

In Screen mode, when using the internal DVD changer, this button is only active if the Auto Resize feature is turned off via the SCREEN MENU. This button performs the Frame function, which enables you to set the desired aspect ratio for viewing program materials, independent of the aspect ratio encoded on the disc. The following settings are available:

16:9 – This setting is used to display 16:9 program material in the full-screen 16:9 mode on the CVPD50.

4:3 TO 16:9 NL – This mode adjusts a 4:3 aspect ratio image to fill the CVPD50’

s 6:9 screen while creating a more naturallooking picture. This is accomplished by stretching the two sides of the picture more than the center of the picture where most of the content is.

compressed, but no portion of the image is lost.

2.35 LB TO 16:9 CROPPED – This mode is an alternative adjustment for a widescreen film. The image is not compressed or scaled in any way outer edges are cropped, sacrificing a slight amount of the original content in exchange for 100% accurate image proportions.

4:3 HDTV TO 16:9 – As HDTV is new to the broadcast industry, and there is still a lot of older 4:3 standard recording and

broadcast equipment in use, 4:3 material is sometimes broadcast in HD 16:9 format with black or other color bars on its sides. Since these bars are a part of the actual picture, conventional picture resizing techniques do not work in eliminating them. This setting is specifically designed to address this problem. It first crops the bars off of the sides of the 16:9 picture to render it a 4:3 picture, and then performs a natural-looking nonlinear stretch to fill the entire 16:9 screen.

4:3 – This mode may be used with programs that are known to be in the 4:3 aspect ratio. The image’s original aspect ratio is preserved unaltered, and black bars will appear on the left and right sides of the image to fill the CVPD50’s 16:9 aspect ratio screen.

The difference between the Frame and Letterbox functions is that the Frame function allows access to the 4:3 and 4:3 TO 16:9 NL modes, which are mainly useful for materials originating in the 4:3 format.

NOTE:The Letterbox and Frame func

tions are not available with the internal DVD/CD changer unless the DVD Auto Resize function has been turned off using the screen setup menus. See page 57 for more information.

R A-B/Auto Button: This button’ function differs depending on whether the internal disc changer (DVD/Main mode) or the Screen mode is active. To use this button, be careful to press only on the lower portion of the button, as other functions are accessed by pressing on the upper portion of the button.

In the DVD mode, press this button once to select the beginning (point A), and again to select the end (point B) of a passage you wish to play repeatedly. Press the button again to end repeat playback. A-B repeat play is not available for VCD, MP3, WMA or JPEG discs.

In the Screen mode, this button selects automatic detection of the aspect ratio of program material from external sources, with playback in the 16:9 format. It will display 4:3 images stretched to fill the 16:9 screen. This function is not available with HD (480p or better) signals. If the 4:3 image is in letterbox format, with bars at the top and bottom of the screen, those bars will remain. See pages 13 and 27 for more information on configuring aspect ratios.

S Program/PVR Replay Button: In the DVD/Main mode, press this button to access the screen for programming playlists. When a PVR (personal video recorder) is in use, press this button for replay of recorded materials. Refer to your PVR’s owner’s manual for more information.
