Choose this setting if you want to see movies in their original
aspect ratio (height-to-width ratio). You’ll see the entire frame of the movie, but it
will take up a smaller portion of the screen vertically. The movie might appear with
black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.

Choose this setting if your DVD Player is connected to a widescreen TV. If
you choose this settng and you don’t have a widescreen TV, the images on the
screen might appear distorted due to vertical compression. If you play a disc
recorded in 4 x 3 format on a widescreen TV, the left and right side of the screen
will appear black.
