Thanks to Owner-Manuals.com! This manual was exactly what I needed. As Amana was purchased by Maytag and later by Whirlpool, there was no way to receive it from their websites. I was lucky to find this resource.

Additional information
Screen sizes and disc formats
DVD-Video discs come in several different screen aspect ratios, ranging from TV programs, which are generally 4:3, to CinemaScope widescreen movies, with an aspect ratio of up to about 7:3. Televisions, too, come in different aspect ratios; �standard� 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.
Resetting the player
Use this procedure to reset all the player�s settings to the factory default.
1 2
Switch the player into standby. Using the front panel buttons, hold down the (stop) button and press STANDBY/ON to switch the player back on. All the player�s settings are now reset.
Widescreen TV users
If you have a widescreen TV, the �TV Screen� setting (page 46) of this player should be set to �16:9 (Wide)� or �16:9 (Compressed)�. When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format with the �16:9 (Wide)� setting, 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 �letter box� style with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.
Setting the TV system (Not North American model)
The default setting of this player is �AUTO�, and unless you notice that the picture is distorted when playing some discs, you should leave it set to �AUTO�. If you experience picture distortion with some discs, set the TV system to match your country or region�s system. Doing this, however, may restrict the kinds of disc you can watch. The table below shows what kinds of disc are compatible with each setting (�AUTO� , �PAL� and �NTSC�).
STANDBY/ON
Standard TV users
If you have a standard TV, the �TV Screen� setting (page 46) of this player 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.
1
If the player is on, press STANDBY/ ON to switch it to standby.
2
Please note that many widescreen discs override the player�s settings so that the disc is shown in letter box format regardless of the setting. Note: � Using the �16:9 (Wide)� or �16:9 (Compressed)� setting with a standard 4:3 TV, or either of the 4:3 settings with a widescreen TV, will result in a distorted picture.
Using the front panel controls, hold down then press STANDBY/ON to switch the TV system. The TV system changes as follows: AUTO NTSC PAL
