Systems Inc. It delivers full-frequency 5.1 channel sound.  
TV Screen Saver Function  
The HT-DS140 automatically brightens and darkens the brightness of  
the TV screen after 3 minutes in the stop mode.  
The HT-DS140 automatically switches itself into the power saving mode  
after 20 minutes in the screen saver mode.

uses one field of information (all lines displayed in one pass) to create a clear and  
detailed picture without visible scan lines.

P.SCAN(Progressive Scan) Function  
Unlike regular Interlace Scan, in which two fields of picture information alternate to create the  
entire picture (odd scan lines, then even scan lines), Progressive Scan uses one field of  
information (all lines displayed in one pass) to create a clear and detailed picture without visible  
scan lines.  
Press STOP button.

When disc is played back, press the STOP button twice so that “STOP”, appears on the display.  
•
Press and hold P.SCAN button on the remote control for over 5 seconds.  
Pressing and holding the button for over 5 seconds will select "Progressive Scan" and "Interlace Scan"  
repetitively.

When you select P.SCAN, "P.SCAN" will appear on the display  
•
What is Progressive (or Non-Interlaced) Scanning?  
Interlaced Scan (1 FRAME = 2 FIELDS)  
Progressive Scan (FULL FRAME)  
In interlaced-scan video, a frame consists of two  
interlaced fields (odd and even), where each field  
contains every other horizontal line in the frame.  
The odd field of alternating lines is displayed first, and  
then the even field is displayed to fill in the alternating  
gaps left by the odd field to form a single frame.  
One frame, displayed every 1/30th of a second, contains  
two interfaced fields, thus a total of 60 fields are  
displayed every 1/60th of a second.  
The progressive scanning method scans one full frame of  
video consecutively down the screen, line by line.  
An entire image is drawn at one time, as opposed to the  
interlaced scanning process by which a video image is  
drawn in a series of passes.  
The progressive scanning method is desirable for dealing  
with moving objects.  
The interlaced scanning method is intended for capturing  
a still object.  
Note  
This function works only on TVs equipped with component video inputs (Y, Pr, Pb) that support  
Progressive Video. (It does not work on TVs with conventional component inputs, i.e., non-progressive  
scan TVs.)  
•
•
Depending on the brand and model of your TV, this function may not work.  
Selecting the Video Format  
Press and hold NTSC/PAL button on the remote controller for over 5 seconds while the power is turned off.

At this time, press the NTSC/PAL button shortly to select between "NTSC" and "PAL".  
•
Each country has a different video format standard.  
For normal playback, the video format of the disc must be the same as the video format of your TV.

Adjusting the TV Aspect Ratio (Screen Size)  
The horizontal to vertical screen size ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, while that of wide screen and high  
definition TVs is 16:9. This ratio is called the aspect ratio. When playing DVDs recorded in different  
screen sizes, you should adjust the aspect ratio to fit your TV or monitor.  
✱ For a standard TV, select either "4:3LB" or "4:3PS" option according to  
personal preference. Select "16:9" if you have a widescreen TV.  
: Select this to view a 16:9 picture in the full-screen  
mode on your widescreen TV.

mode on a conventional TV.  
(4:3 Pan&Scan)  
•You can see the central portion of the screen only (with the  
sides of the 16:9 picture cut off).  
• If a DVD is in the 4:3 ratio, you cannot view it in widescreen.  
• Since DVD discs are recorded in various image formats, they will look different depending on  
the software, the type of TV, and the TV aspect ratio setting.
