Default: NORMAL
Mode: 4 types
Notes:
¡This adjustment is applicable to TV, VTR1, VTR2, DVD, video CD and SD-Card mode.
¡The aspect ratio is adjustable between Full and Normal when the wallpaper is on the screen.
¡When the rear view camera is in operation with the transmission gear shift in the reverse position, the image is shown on
the “FULL” screen only.
¡In some cases, the picture looks different from the original one due to your selection of aspect.Press [ASP](ASPECT)on the display unit or press [A](ASPECT)on the remote
control to change the aspect ratio as follows.
NORMAL
¡The conventional display image has a 4 to 3
ratio of horizontal to vertical.
¡In this case, a blank area remains on the
right and left sides of the display.
FULL
¡The screen is extended horizontally as a
whole to the aspect ratio of 16 to 9.
¡The extension ratio is the same at any point
on the screen.
ZOOM
¡The screen is fully extended at the normal
aspect ratio of 4 to 3.
¡The top and bottom of the screen are slight-
ly cut off.
JUST
¡The screen is extended horizontally to the
aspect ratio of 16 to 9.
¡The extension ratio increases toward the
right and left ends of the screen.Cautions:
¡This is to remind you that compression or extension of the screen using the aspect ratio (screen mode) changing
function of this product for commercial purposes of profit making or viewing/listening by the public could infringe on
the rights of the author protected by copyright law.
¡If you expand a  normal picture (4 to 3) by using “JUST”, “ZOOM” or “FULL” aspect to the full size of the screen, you
might not see the periphery of the picture, or you might see a distorted picture.  Therefore, use “NORMAL” mode to
see the original picture as the author intended it.[A](ASPECT)

About DVD
Video/Audio Wide
Dynamic RangeCaution:The sound of DVD
audio/video covers a wide
dynamic range of more than
100 dB. Thus, the repro-
duced sound volume of
some DVD discs may be
significantly low. When you
increase the volume in this
case, the sound may reach
the peak level suddenly and
it may lead to a traffic acci-
dent. To avoid such an acci-
dent, you can use the DR
COMP (Dynamic Range
Compression) function. This
function can be set by the
following procedure.
