The Randomfunction is not available when playingDVD-Audio or DVD-Video discs unless aplaylist has been programmed, and it isnot available at all for JPEG discs.In Screen mode, when using the internalDVD changer, this button is only active ifthe Auto Resize feature is turned off viathe SCREEN MENU (see page 57). Thisbutton performs the Letterbox function,which enables you to adjust the screen toeliminate black bars that may appear onthe top and bottom or sides of the imagedue to the aspect ratio of the programmaterial differing from the 16:9 aspectratio of the CVPD50. In most cases, theCVR700’s video processor is able to auto-matically detect the aspect ratio settingof the program material and adjust thedisplay automatically to fill the screen.However, in some cases the material maybe a movie displayed in widescreen(2.35:1) format, or the material may notcontain embedded information necessaryfor the CVR700 to make an automaticadjustment. The available letterboxmodes are:16:9 – This setting is used to display 16:9program material in the full-screen 16:9mode on the CVPD50. This setting willalso apply a linear (consistent) stretch toa 4:3 picture.4:3 LTRBOX TO 16:9 – This mode is usedto adjust an image which is designed todisplay a 16:9 movie on a 4:3 screen. Inorder to preserve the full width of themovie on a narrower screen, the imageis reduced in size and black bars appearabove and below it. This setting zoomsin on the image, enabling it to fill theCVPD50’s 16:9 screen without losing anyportion of the image. The image is simplyenlarged so that its two sides fit theedges of the CVPD50 16:9 screen and theblack bars on top and bottom are croppedoff. The image is stretched in a linearfashion (evenly throughout the frame).2.35 LB TO 16:9 NL – This mode is usedto adjust an image from a widescreenfilm which is actually at a wider ratiothan the CVPD50’s 16:9 ratio. In order tofit on the smaller screen, the image iscompressed in a nonlinear fashion, but noportion of the image is lost.2.35 LB TO 16:9 CROPPED – This modeis an alternative adjustment for awidescreen film. The image is not com-pressed or scaled in any way, but theouter edges are cropped, sacrificing aslight amount of the original content inexchange for 100% accurate image pro-portions.4:3 HDTV TO 16:9 – As HDTV is new tothe broadcast industry and there is still aconsiderable amount of older 4:3 stan-dard recording and broadcast equipmentin use, 4:3 material is sometimes broad-cast in HD 16:9 format with black orother color bars on its sides. Since thesebars are a part of the actual picture, con-ventional picture resizing techniques donot work in eliminating them. This settingis specifically designed to address thisproblem. It first crops the bars off thesides of the 16:9 picture to render it a 4:3picture, and then performs a natural-look-ing nonlinear stretch to fill the entire 16:9screen.
