Television Aspect Ratio Chart
If you set your
Output
settings to 16:9, and your
TV
is a standard 4:3, playing
a
Video
file encoded for
16:9 televisions will result
in a squished image.
How to read this chart:
This chart contains three main categories:
Video
,
Output
and
TV
.
Video:
Output:
TV:
This pertains to the video file’s encoded format. Some video files are encoded
with 16:9 aspect ratio, while others are encoded with the standard 4:3 aspect
ratio.
This is based on your video setting. At the
Setup
menu select
General
, and
then
Audio/Video
. The
Aspect Ratio
field has three options to choose from:
4:3, 4:3 Letterbox, and 16:9.
This is based on the type of television being used (Standard 4:3 TV or Widescreen
16:9 TV).
Video files will be in one of the three aspect ratios: 4:3 Pan/Scan, 4:3 Letter Box, or 16:9
Widescreen. The aspect ratio setting of the DSM-520 must match the file that is to be played
for the type of TV you have.
