Determine the Display Aspect Ratio
The 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 almost all Blu-ray Discs and many DVD discs are released in the
wide screen format, it is highly recommended that you use a wide screen TV with the player.
The Aspect Ratio selections are
4:3 Letterbox
,
4:3 Pan & Scan
,
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:
NOTE
If you cannot get a picture using the HDMI or Analog (component) output, please connect the player to the TV
using the composite video output, and then use the Setup Menu to adjust the player settings.
Video up-conversion over the Analog (component) output is only available for unencrypted discs such as
home video and consumer-created contents. Most commercially pressed DVD discs are CSS-encrypted and
will be limited to 576i/576p resolution. This restriction applies to the component output only. The HDMI output
is protected with HDCP and has no such restriction.
