Notes
• The displayable picture size is preset on the DVD video
disc. Therefore, the playback picture of some DVD video
discs may not conform to the picture size you select.
• When you play DVD video discs recorded in the 4:3
picture size only, the playback picture always appears
in the 4:3 picture size regardless of the TV shape setting.

set, the DVD playback picture will be horizontally
distorted during playback. Images will appear to be
