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. Therefore, the
playback picture may not conform to the picture size you select.
•
When you play DVD videos 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.
