GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
• If this product is equipped with a polarized
alternating current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other), it will fit into the
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully into the
outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should
still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
• If this product is equipped with a three-wire
grounding type plug, a plug having a third
(grounding) pin, it will only fit into a grounding
type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding type plug.
POWER-CORD PROTECTION — Power-supply
cords should be routed so that they are not likely
to be walked on or pinched by items placed
upon or against them, paying particular
attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the product.
OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING — If an
outside antenna or cable system is connected to
the product, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Article 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides
information with regard to proper grounding of
the mast and supporting structure, grounding of
the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit,
size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode. See Figure A.
LIGHTNING — For added protection for this
product during a lightning storm, or when it is
left unattended and unused for long periods of
time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This
will prevent damage to the product due to
lightning and power-line surges.
POWER LINES — An outside antenna system
should not be located in the vicinity of overhead
power lines or other electric light or power
circuits, or where it can fall into such power
lines or circuits. When installing an outside
antenna system, extreme care should be taken
to keep from touching such power lines or
circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
OVERLOADING — Do not overload wall outlets,
extension cords, or integral convenience
receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY — Never push
objects of any kind into this product through
openings as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short-out parts that could result in a
fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any
kind on the product.
SERVICING — Do not attempt to service this
product yourself as opening or removing covers
may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE — Unplug this
product from the wall outlet and refer servicing
to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
• When the power-supply cord or plug is
damaged.
• If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen
into the product.
• If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
• If the product does not operate normally by
following the operating instructions. Adjust only
those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions as an improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician
to restore the product to its normal operation.
• If the product has been dropped or damaged in
any way.
• When the product exhibits a distinct change in
performance — this indicates a need for service.
REPLACEMENT PARTS — When replacement parts
are required, be sure the service technician has
used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or have the same characteristics
as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.
SAFETY CHECK — Upon completion of any service
or repairs to this product, ask the service
technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the product is in proper
operating condition.
WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING — The product
should not be mounted to a wall or ceiling.

Placing the speakers
Note that the HTD-641DV does not include
surround speakers. If not connected, simply set
up your speakers using the Standard surround
5-spot setup shown below, disregarding the
surround speakers in the diagram.
Depending on the size and characteristics of
your room, you can choose to place your
speakers in one of two ways using this system.
Note that the following setups are possible
when you are using the the wireless speaker as
a second stereo system (see Using the wireless
speaker system on page 41 for more on this).
•Standard surround 5-spot setup – This is
a standard multichannel surround sound
speaker setup for optimal 5.1 channel
home theatre sound.
•Front surround 3-spot setup – This setup
is ideal when rear surround speaker
placement isn’t possible or you want to
avoid running long speaker cables in your
listening area. Use this setup together with
the Front Surround modes to take
advantage of wall and ceiling reflections
for a very realistic surround effect.

The above illustrations are for the HTD-645DV
only. If you connected surround speakers to the
HTD-641DV, place them on either side of the
front speakers as shown below.
See About the listening modes on page 43 for
more on using the different listening modes
with each speaker setup.
Where you put your speakers in the room has a
big effect on the quality of the sound. The
following guidelines should help you to get the
best sound from your system.
• The subwoofer can be placed on the floor.
Ideally, the other speakers should be at
about ear-level when you’re listening to
them. Putting the speakers on the floor
(except the subwoofer), or mounting them
very high on a wall is not recommended.
• For the best stereo effect, place the front
speakers 6–9 ft. / 2–3 m apart, at equal
distance from the TV.
• Install the center speaker above or below
the TV so that the sound of the center
channel is localized at the TV screen.
• When using a 5-spot setup, install the
surround speakers slightly above ear level,
if possible.
• Make sure that all speakers are securely
installed (if you choose to install the center
speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure
it by suitable means). This not only
improves sound quality, but also reduces
the risk of damage or injury resulting from
speakers being knocked over or falling in
the event of external shocks such as
earthquakes.
•The front, and center and surround
speakers supplied with this system are
magnetically shielded. However, placing
them extremely close to a television may
result in color distortion on the screen. If
this happens, move the speakers a little
further away and switch off the television
for 15–30 minutes.
•The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded
and so should not be placed near a TV or
monitor.
Placing the wireless speaker
system
You can choose to use the wireless speaker
system for multichannel sound with your main
setup, or as a second stereo speaker system.
The Standard surround (5-spot) setup
described in Placing the speakers above will
achieve the best surround sound when using
the wireless speaker system for multichannel
sound (the 3-spot setup is not recommended).
• After setting up the wireless speaker for
multichannel sound, see Setting the
channel levels on page 66 to lower the
surround speaker levels.
Note that the following illustration shows a
speaker setup including surround speakers,
which are not included with the HTD-641DV
model. See Connecting the speakers and
wireless speaker system on page 11 for more
on connecting surround speakers.

If not connected, simply set up your speakers
using the Standard surround setup as shown
below, disregarding the surround speakers in
the diagram. Using the wireless speaker, you
can still achieve exceptional surround sound
from your system.
For best surround sound, make sure to place
the wireless speaker directly behind the center
of the listening position and no higher than ear
level. Also, make sure you don't move the
wireless speaker too far behind the listening
position or you will lose much of the surround
sound effect. For more placement options, see
Using the wireless speaker system on page 41.
• For a greater surround sound effect from
the wireless speaker, see Setting the
channel levels on page 66 to increase the
surround channel levels.
•As well as setting the wireless mode on the
speakers, you must also set the mode on
the main unit. See Using the wireless
speaker system on page 41 for more on
this.
Wall-mounting the center and
surround speaker system
Surround speakers are not supplied with the
HTD-641DV. Illustration shows the HTD-645DV.
Before mounting
• Remember that the speaker system is
heavy and that its weight could cause the
wood screws to work loose, or the wall
material to fail to support it, resulting in the
speaker falling. Make sure that the wall you
intend to mount the speakers on is strong
enough to support them. Do not mount on
plywood or soft surface walls.
• Mounting screws are not supplied. Use
screws that are suitable for the wall
material and that will support the weight of
the speaker.
• If you are unsure of the qualities and
strength of the walls, consult a
professional for advice.
• Pioneer is not responsible for any
accidents or damage that result from
improper installation.

Connecting to your TV
This system has three different kinds of video
output that you can use to connect up your TV.
Check the available inputs on your TV to see
which you can use.
•Do not connect a VCR between this system
and your TV as DVD playback will be
affected.
•Use the supplied video cable to connect
the VIDEO OUT jack to a video input on
your TV.
•Placing the system unit too close to your TV
may cause interference, especially if you’re
using an indoor antenna. If you notice
interference, move the system unit away
from the TV.
Connecting using the S-video output
If your TV has an S-video input, you can use this
instead of the standard video output for a
better quality picture.
• Use an S-video cable (not supplied) to
connect the S-VIDEO OUT to an S-video
input on your TV.
Line up the small triangle below the jack with
the same mark on the plug before plugging in.
• The S-video output is switchable between
S1 and S2 formats for compatibility with all
TVs. See Video Output settings on page 69
for more on this.

Connecting using the component
video output
If your TV has component video inputs, you can
use these instead of the standard video output
to connect this system to your TV. This should
give you the best quality picture from the three
types of video output available.
• Use a component video cable (not
supplied) to connect the COMPONENT
VIDEO OUT to a set of component inputs
on your TV.
•The component video output is switchable
between interlaced and progressive
formats. See Video Output settings on
page 69 and Watching progressive scan
video from the component video outputs
below for more on this.
Watching progressive scan video from
the component video outputs
Compared to interlace video, progressive scan
video effectively doubles the scanning rate of
the picture, resulting in a very stable, flicker-
free image. Progressive scan video is available
only from the component video output. There
are a few things to keep in mind when
switching the Component Out (page 69)
setting to Progressive:
•When set to Progressive, there is no video
output from the VIDEO OUT (composite)
and S (S-video) jacks.
• If you want to display video on more than
one monitor simultaneously, make sure
the player is set to Interlace.
• If you connect a TV that is not compatible
with a progressive scan signal and switch
the setting to Progressive, you will not be
able to see any picture at all. In this case,
press STANDBY/ON to put the system
in standby, then press and hold the front
panel (stop) button for about 8 seconds
until the display shows Mem.Clr.?. Press
the front panel or button
so that the display shows Interlace?. Press
the front panel button to set to
interlace and switch the system back on.
Compatibility of this player with
progressive-scan and high-definition TVs
This player is compatible with progressive
video Macro Vision System Copy Guard.
Consumers should note that not all high-
definition television sets are fully compatible
with this product and may cause artifacts to be
displayed in the picture. In case of 525
progressive scan picture problems, it is
recommended that the user switch the
connection to the ‘standard definition’ output
(Interlace).

same way, using the cursor buttons to change
the highlighted item and pressing ENTER to
select it.

Disc number
Getting started 04

En
Most likely, the disc is the wrong region for
your system. The region number should be
printed on the disc; check it against the
region number of the system (which you
can find on the rear panel). See also DVD
Video regions on page 76.
If the region number is OK, it may be that
the disc is damaged or dirty. Clean the disc
and look for signs of damage. See also
Using and taking care of discs on page 75.
If you’ve set the Parental Lock level for the
system to a level lower than the disc you are
trying to play, you’ll need to set it again to
watch the disc (see Parental Lock on
page 72).
• Why won’t the disc I loaded play?
First check that you loaded the disc the
right way up (label side up), and that it’s
clean and not damaged. See Using and
taking care of discs on page 75 for
information on cleaning discs.
If a disc loaded correctly won’t play, it’s
probably an incompatible format or disc
type, such as DVD-ROM. See Disc / content
format playback compatibility on page 9 for
more on disc compatibility.
•I have a widescreen TV so why are there
black bars at the top and bottom of the
screen when I play some discs?
Some movie formats are such that even
when played on a widescreen TV, black
bars are necessary at the top and bottom of
the screen. This is not a malfunction.
•I have a standard (4:3) TV and set the system
to show widescreen DVDs in pan & scan
format, so why do I still get black bars top
and bottom with some discs?
Some discs override the display
preferences of the system, so even if you
have 4:3 (Pan & Scan) selected, those
discs will still be shown in letterbox format.
This is not a malfunction.
•My DVD-Audio disc starts playing, but then
suddenly stops!
The disc may have been illegally copied.
DVD-Video disc menus
Many DVD-Video and DVD-Audio discs contain
menus from which you can select what you
want to watch. They may give access to addi-
tional features, such as subtitle and audio
language selection, or special features such as
slideshows. See the disc packaging for details.
Sometimes DVD-Video menus are displayed
automatically when you start playback; others
only appear when you press DVD MENU or
TOP MENU.

About the listening modes
As explained in Placing the speakers on
page 13, there are two basic surround speaker
setup options available. Of course you can
select any of the listening modes regardless of
how you place your speakers, but you will
achieve the best surround effect by using the
listening modes in conjunction with your
speaker setup:
•Standard surround 5-spot setup – Use
the Standard (Listening in surround sound
on page 44) and Advanced (Using the
Advanced Surround effects on page 45)
surround listening modes with this setup.
•Front surround 3-spot setup – See Using
Front Surround on page 45 for the options
available with this speaker setup.
HTD-641DV only – This setup requires
surround speakers.
Make sure you have completed Using the
Room Setup on page 31. For a more detailed
surround sound setup, see Using the System
Setup menu on page 64.
• Certain features explained in this section
may not be possible depending on the
source (for example, 88.2 / 96 kHz sources),
or a conflicting system setting. See Error
Messages on page 87 for more on this.
• Except for mute, the tone controls (bass/
treble) and Quiet and Midnight listening,
the features in this section can’t be used
with DVD-Audio or Super Audio CD
sources.
• When using the wireless speaker system
for multichannel sound, it is
recommended that you do not use the 3-
spot setup (page 13). See Using the

Standard (Listening in surround sound on
page 44) and Advanced (Using the
Advanced Surround effects on page 45)

Setting the channel levels
You can set the relative channel levels from
your main listening position for all of the
listening modes independently. However, the
SURROUND modes are divided into two
independent groups: multichannel listening
modes and stereo listening modes only.
If you used the Room Setup feature (page 31),
the channel levels for each listening mode will
already be set. However, you can still fine-tune
the levels here if you need to.
1 Select a listening mode.
Press SURROUND, ADVANCED or FRONT
SURROUND repeatedly to select the listening
mode you want.
2Press TEST TONE (SHIFT + 4) to hear the
test tone.
The test tone is output in the following order

DVD Video regions
All DVD Video discs carry a region mark on the
case somewhere that indicates which
region(s) of the world the disc is compatible
with. Your DVD system also has a region mark,
which you can find on the rear panel. Discs
from incompatible regions will not play in this
system. Discs marked ALL will play in any
system.
The diagram below shows the various DVD
regions of the world.
Handling discs
When holding discs of any type, take care not
to leave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the
disc surface. Hold the disc by its edge or by the
center hole and edge.
Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback
performance. Take care also not to scratch the
label side of the disc. Although not as fragile as
the recorded side, scratches can still result in
a disc becoming unusable.
Should a disc become marked with
fingerprints, dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry
cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center to
the outside edge as shown in the diagram
below.
Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using
straight strokes.
Don’t wipe the disc surface using circular
strokes.
If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a
commercially available CD/DVD cleaning kit to
clean a disc more thoroughly. Never use
benzine, thinner or other cleaning agents,
including products designed for cleaning vinyl
records.
Storing discs
Although CDs and DVD discs are more durable
than vinyl records, you should still take care to
handle and store discs correctly. When you're
not using a disc, return it to its case and store
upright. Avoid leaving discs in excessively cold,
humid, or hot environments (including under
direct sunlight).
Don't glue paper or put stickers onto the disc,
or use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-
tipped writing instrument. These could all
damage the disc.
For more detailed care information see the
instructions that come with discs.
Do not load more than one disc into the player
at a time.

En
Discs to avoid
Discs spin at high speed inside the player. If
you can see that a disc is cracked, chipped,
warped, or otherwise damaged, don't risk
using it—you could end up damaging the
player.
This system is designed for use with
conventional, fully circular discs only. Use of
shaped discs is not recommended for this
product. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising
in connection with the use of shaped discs.
Proper installation and
maintenance of this system
Hints on installation
We want you to enjoy using this system for
years to come, so please bear in mind the
following points when choosing a suitable
location for it:
Do...
Use in a well-ventilated room.
Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as
a table, shelf or stereo rack.
Don’t...
Use in a place exposed to high
temperatures or humidity, including near
radiators and other heat-generating
appliances.
Place on a window sill or other place where
the system will be exposed to direct
sunlight.
Use in an excessively dusty or damp
environment.
Place directly on top of an amplifier, or
other component in your stereo system
that becomes hot in use.
Use near a television or monitor as you may
experience interference—especially if the
television uses an indoor antenna.
Use in a kitchen or other room where the
system may be exposed to smoke or steam.
Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with
cloth—this may prevent proper cooling of
the system unit.
Place on an unstable surface, or one that is
not large enough to support all four of the
system unit’s feet.
Cleaning the pickup lens
The DVD player’s lens should not become dirty
in normal use, but if for some reason it should
malfunction due to dust or dirt, consult your
nearest Pioneer authorized service center.
Although lens cleaners are commercially
available, we do not recommend using them
since some may damage the lens.
Problems with condensation
Condensation may form inside the system unit
if it is brought into a warm room from outside,
or if the temperature of the room rises quickly.
Although the condensation won’t damage the
system, it may temporarily impair its
performance. For this reason you should leave
it to adjust to the warmer temperature for
about an hour before switching on and using.
Moving the system unit
If you need to move the main unit, first remove
all discs, then press STANDBY/ON on the
front panel to turn the system off. Wait for
Good Bye to disappear from the display, then
unplug the power cord. Never lift or move the
system during playback—discs rotate at a high
speed and may be damaged.
Additional information12
78
En
• Unplugging the system before Good Bye
disappears from the display may cause the
system to return to the factory settings.
Power cord caution
Handle the power cord by the plug part. Do not
pull out the plug by tugging the cord, and never
touch the power cord when your hands are
wet, as this could cause a short circuit or
electric shock. Do not place the system unit, a
piece of furniture, or other object on the power
cord or pinch the cord in any other way. Never
make a knot in the cord or tie it with other
cords. The power cord should be routed so that
they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged
power cord can cause a fire or give you an
electric shock. Check the power cord once in a
while. If you find it damaged, ask your nearest
Pioneer authorized service center or your
dealer for a replacement.
Wireless speaker system
maintenance and precautions
• Even when not in use, the fan in the
wireless speaker will continue to operate.
Switching off the wireless speaker when
not in use will increase product life.
Cleaning the exterior
Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off
dust and dirt. If the surfaces are very dirty, wipe
with a soft cloth dipped in some neutral
cleanser diluted five or six times with water and
wrung out well, then wipe again with a dry
cloth.
Do not use furniture wax or cleaners. Never
use thinners, benzine or insecticide sprays or
other chemicals on or near this unit since they
will corrode the surface.
If you use a chemical-impregnated cleaning
cloth, read the instructions carefully before
use. These cloths may leave smear marks on
half-mirror finish surfaces; if this happens,
finish with a dry cloth.
Make sure to unplug the unit when cleaning.
AC adapter and power cord caution
• Do not leave the power cord near heating
equipment. The coating of the cord may melt,
which could lead to fire and/or electrocution.
• Make sure to grasp the body of the AC
adaptor when removing it from the power
outlet. If you pull the power cord, it may
become damaged which could lead to fire and/
or electrocution.
• Do not attempt to plug in or remove the AC
adaptor with wet hands. This may result in
electrocution.
• Insert the prongs of the AC adaptor all the
way into the power outlet. If the connection is
incomplete, heat may be generated which
could lead to fire. Furthermore, contact with
the connected prongs of the adaptor may
result in electrocution.
• Do not insert the AC adaptor into a power
outlet where the connection remains loose
despite inserting the prongs all the way into the
outlet. Heat may be generated which could
lead to fire. Consult with the retailer or an
electrician regarding replacement of the power
outlet.
Moving the wireless speaker
If you need to move the wireless speaker, first
press POWER on the top panel to turn the unit
off, then unplug the power cord.

Radio wave reflections
The radio waves received by the receiver
include the radio wave coming directly from
the transmitter (direct wave) and waves
coming from various directions due to
reflections by walls, furniture and building
(reflected waves). The reflected waves (due to
obstacles and reflecting objects) further
produce a variety of reflected waves as well as
variation in reception condition depending on
locations. If the audio cannot be received
properly due to this phenomenon, try moving
the location of the wireless speaker a little. Also
note that audio may be interrupted due to the
reflected waves when a person crosses or
approaches the space between the transmitter
and wireless speaker.
Radio wave caution
This wireless speaker system uses a 2.4GHz
radio wave frequency, which is a band used by
other wireless systems (see list below). To
prevent noise or interrupted communication,
do not use this system nearby such devices, or
make sure these devices are switched off
during use. You can also try switching the
channel on the transmitter (see Transmitter on
page 16) for better reception.
• Cordless phones
• Wireless broadband routers
• Wireless AV equipment
• Microwave-based health aids
• Microwave ovens
• Wireless controllers for game systems
• Bluetooth equipment
• Some baby monitors
Other, less common, equipment that may
operate on the same frequency:
• Anti-theft systems
• Warehouse logistic management systems
• Amateur radio stations (HAM)
• Discrimination systems for train or
emergency vehicles
• If there is something obstructing the path
between the transmitter and the wireless
speaker (such as a metal door, concrete
wall, or insulation containing tinfoil), you
may need to change the location of your
system to prevent signal noise and
interruptions.
• If the transmitter is used near A/V
equipment with an antenna input terminal,
such as a TV, VCR, BS tuner or CS tuner,
you may experience noise interference on a
TV near the transmitter. In such cases,
place the transmitter at a larger distance
from the antenna input terminal of the A/V
equipment.
Scope of operation
Use of this equipment is limited to home use.
(Transmission distances may be reduced
depending on communication environments.)
In the following locations, poor condition or
inability to receive radio waves may cause the
audio to be interrupted or stopped:
•In reinforced concrete buildings or homes
made of metallic structural members.
• Near large metallic furniture.
• In a crowd of people or near a building or
obstacle.
•If you live in a heavily populated residential
area (apartment, townhouse, etc.) and if
your neighbor's microwave is placed near
your system, you may experience radio
wave interference or no sound from the
speaker. If this occurs, move your unit to a
different place. When the microwave is not
in use, there will be no radio wave
interference.

Problem Remedy
Audio cannot be received. • The radio wave reception is variable depending on locations due to
the effects of obstacles and reflecting objects. Try changing the
location of the wireless speaker system a little.
• The transmitter and wireless speaker are designed and sold as a pair,
and they identify each other in communication. This means that
communication is not available between a separately purchased
transmitter and wireless speaker.
Audio is interrupted. • This system uses high frequency radio waves that have properties
similar to light, such as linearity, reflection, refraction, diffraction, and
interference. Therefore, placement of the system can result in weak
radio waves and/or interruption.
• The distance between the transmitter and wireless speaker may be
too large. Use the wireless speaker within the reach of the radio waves
(within 10m) from the transmitter.
• The system is being used in a location with radio wave interference or
electrical noise. If so, the unit may need to be relocated.
Audio is suddenly
interrupted. • There may be radio communication equipment using the same
frequency band (2.4 GHz) as this system, such as a Bluetooth device,
radio LAN device or microwave oven, operating nearby.
No sound from the wireless
speaker. • If you selected W.Stereo, the volume on the wireless speaker may be

Screen sizes and disc formats
DVD-Video discs come in several different
screen aspects, ranging from TV programs,
which are generally 4:3, to CinemaScope
widescreen movies, with an aspect ratio of up
to about 7:3.
Televisions also come in different aspect
ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.
Widescreen TV users
If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen
setting (page 69) of this system should be set
to 16:9 (Wide).
When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format,
you can use the TV controls to select how the
picture is presented. Your TV may offer various
zoom and stretch options; see the instructions
that came with your TV for details.
Please note that some movie aspect ratios are
wider than 16:9, so even though you have a
widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a
‘letterbox’ style with black bars at the top and
bottom of the screen.
Standard TV users
If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen setting
(page 69) of this system should be set to 4:3
(Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan&Scan), depending on
which you prefer.
Set to 4:3 (Letter Box), widescreen discs are
shown with black bars top and bottom.
Set to 4:3 (Pan&Scan), widescreen discs are
shown with the left and right sides cropped.
Although the picture looks larger, you don’t
actually see the whole picture.
Please note that many widescreen discs
override the system’s settings so that the disc
is shown in letterbox format regardless of the
setting.
• Using the 16:9 (Wide) setting with a
standard 4:3 TV, or either of the 4:3 settings
with a widescreen TV, will result in a
distorted picture.
Selecting languages using the
language code list
Some of the language options allow you to set
your preferred language from any of the 136
