PICTURE Settings
TV Shape
DVD
This is where you can specify the shape of your TV
screen. This is important for determining whether you
would like to see the whole picture, or a slightly bigger
version.
4:3 Letterbox:
Select this setting if you own a standard 4:3 TV
set and want to see the whole picture. In that
case, masking bars are inserted above and
below the picture.
4:3 Normal:
Select this setting for a standard 4:3 TV set if you
want the picture to fill the entire screen. In that
case, the left and right borders may fall outside
the screen’s scope.
16:9 Widescreen:
Select this setting for a 16:9 wide-screen TV.
Notes:
• The picture size is preset on the DVD video disc. Therefore, the
playback picture may not conform to the picture size you
select.
• When you play DVD video discs that only contain 4:3 picture
size information, any other TV Shape setting you may select is
ignored.
• If you select “16:9 Widescreen” while your TV set is equipped
with a 4:3 screen, the picture will be horizontally distorted
(compressed) during playback. Always set the TV Shape
function according to the TV set your are using.
