The width-to-height ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3,
while the width-to-height ratio of wide screen and
high-definition TVs is 16:9. This width-to-height ratio is
called the aspect ratio.
When viewing software recorded in different aspect
ratios, the image’s height to width ratio can be
switched to match the TV or monitor being used.

Differences in screen sizes and DVD formats
The number of screen size formats currently available
can be somewhat confusing. If set incorrectly, the
video presentation may not appear as it should. The
following diagrams and descriptions are intended to
help you set your TV screen size in a way that will allow
you to fully enjoy the digital video of DVD.
The settings in the
[TV Screen]
setting are perhaps
most applicable when the DVD you are watching is
programmed in the wide screen format. If you have a
standard TV, select either
[4:3 (Letter Box)]
or
[4:3
(Pan & Scan)]
based on your personal preference. If
you have a wide screen TV, select
[16:9 (Wide)]
.
Standard screen format DVD
If you have a standard TV, the
standard screen format will be
presented regardless of the
setting.
