Resize
allows you to select from among four different re-sizing options. The goal is to show the
most detail on the screen while preserving the ratio of width to height. Often, the terms
“widescreen letterbox” or “letterbox” or “enhanced for widescreen” or “anamorphic” appear on the
back of DVDs. Check for these terms, then see the following table for guidelines for which resize
option to select for which setup. Following the table is a description of the Resize options.
NOTE:
Your viewing preferences may vary from those listed. Cycle through the resize options and
pick the one you like the best.

The default Resize option is
Enhanced Widescreen
,
which
preserves the 16:9 aspect ratio and is
designed, to be used with content that is Enhanced for Widescreen TVs.
NOTE:
A source that says “Anamorphic” means the same as “Enhanced for widescreen”.
