Overview

Display Settings

Use the Screen Ratio to indicate if you have a standard (4:3) or

widescreen (16:9) display.

16:9 (or 4:3) Movie Display Type determines how movies and videos are

converted to fit the screen when they do not match the screen ratio.

Letterbox keeps the video display undistorted and fills the extra space

with black bars. CLPV is a video stretching technology from CyberLink

that produces minimal distortion in the center of the picture. Pan & Scan

displays the central portion of DVD titles in widescreen ratio, and allows

you to drag the display area to view different portions of the video.

Color Profile allows you to change the overall color scheme of video

content during playback. Original uses the color scheme of the disc you

are watching. Vivid, Bright, and Theater add enhanced color to the video

display. CLEV-2 is a video enhancement technology from CyberLink

that dynamically adjusts the brightness, contrast, and saturation if the

movie you are watching contains scenes that are overly dark or bright.

Options other than Original require more system resources to run.

Load Default Settings returns the settings on this page to their original

values. If you modify any settings on this page, you must select Apply

for these changes to take effect.

Audio Settings

Output Mode determines the special processing used on the audio signal.

Experiment with the available settings to decide which you prefer.

Dynamic Range Compression offers options for different listening

environments. Normal Environment creates a standard virtual listening

environment. Quiet Environment emphasizes even the slightest sound

effect in a movie. Noisy Environment amplifies low range audio signals,

which is especially suitable for notebook computers.

Load Default Settings returns the settings on this page to their original

values. If you modify any settings on this page, you must select Apply

for these changes to take effect.
