Only applicable in cases where the “Progressive” function is ON.

Regarding Progressive Television Picture

Progressive image aspect (height to width ratio) is set at a standard
16:9. DVD video which has been set at 16:9 will be displayed cor-
rectly. However, 4:3 video material (

 below) will be stretched to the

right and left when displayed.

To view the picture at the right aspect

For televisions that allow the aspect of progressive images to be
adjusted, use the function provided on the television and adjust as
necessary.

For televisions which do not allow the aspect of progressive
images to be adjusted, please turn OFF “Progressive”.

4:3 video materials are usually found

In general television broadcasts (excluding some wide picture
broadcasts) and any pictures from discs that recorded such pro-
grams.

In DVDs with a lateral ratio of 4:3 indicated on the jacket.
