Determine the Display Aspect Ratio
Standard Definition, or 4:3 TV
Wide screen, or 16:9 TV
The
TV Aspect Ratio
is the proportional ratio of a TV screen’s width and height. Older television sets generally
have a 4:3 aspect ratio – the width is 4/3 (or 1.33) times the height. Newer wide screen television sets have a
16:9 aspect ratio – the width is 16/9 (or 1.78) times the height. For best performance, the video output of your
player needs to match the screen aspect ratio of your TV. Since most Blu-ray discs and many DVD discs are
released in the wide screen format, it is highly recommended to use a wide screen TV with the
PBD 1
.
The Aspect Ratio selections are
16:9 Wide
and
16:9 Wide/Auto
. Depending on your selection and the video
format recorded on the discs, image appearance on the TV screen can be one of the following:
Original Content
TV Screen Appearance
16:9
4:3
16:9
Wide
Wide/Auto
If you have a widescreen (16:9) display, select one of these options:
x
16:9 Wide
– 16:9 (widescreen) sources will be displayed in their native aspect ratio, and 4:3
sources will be horizontally stretched.
x
16:9 Wide/Auto
– 16:9 (widescreen) as well as 4:3 sources will be displayed in their native aspect
ratio. Please note that in this mode, 4:3 sources will be displayed with black borders on both left
and right sides to maintain the correct 4:3 aspect ratio.
