If you have a standard TV, the
TV Screen
setting (page 33) 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.
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.

the picture is distorted when playing some discs, you should leave it

is displayed on screen. Discs
marked
