The horizontal to vertical screen size ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, while that of widescreen and high
definition TVs is 16:9. This ratio is called the aspect ratio. When playing DVDs recorded in different
screen sizes, you should adjust the aspect ratio to fit your TV or monitor.

For a standard TV, select either "4:3LB" or "4:3PS" option according to personal preference. 
Select "16:9" if you have a widescreen TV.

: Select this to view a 16:9 picture in the full-screen

mode on your widescreen TV.

• You can enjoy the widescreen aspect.

: Select this to play a 16:9 picture in the letter box

mode on a conventional TV.

• Black bars will appear at the top and bottom of the screen.

: Select this to play a 16:9 picture in the pan & scan

mode on a conventional TV.

• You can see the central portion of the screen only (with the

sides of the 16:9 picture cut off).

• If a DVD is in the 4:3 ratio, you cannot view it in widescreen.

the software, the type of TV, and the TV aspect ratio setting.
