Screen Sizes and Disc
Formats
DVD-Video discs come in several different
screen aspects, ranging from TV programs,
which are generally 4:3, to CinemaScope
widescreen movies, with an aspect ratio of up
to about 7:3.
Televisions also come in different aspect
ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.
Widescreen TV Users
If you have a widescreen TV, the
TV Screen
setting (page 67) of this system should be set
to
16:9 (Wide)
.
When you watch discs recorded in 4:3
format, you can use the TV controls to select
how the picture is presented. Your TV may
offer various zoom and stretch options; see
the instructions that came with your TV for
details.
Please note that some movie aspect ratios are
wider than 16:9, so even though you have a
widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a
‘letterbox’ style with black bars at the top and
bottom of the screen.
Standard TV Users
If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen
setting (page 67) of this system should be set
to
4:3 (Letter Box)
or
4:3 (Pan&Scan)
,
depending on which you prefer.
Set to
4:3 (Letter Box)
, widescreen discs are
shown with black bars top and bottom.
Set to
4:3 (Pan&Scan)
, widescreen discs are
shown with the left and right sides cropped.
Although the picture looks larger, you do not
actually see the whole picture.
Please note that many widescreen discs
override the system’s settings so that the disc
is shown in letterbox format regardless of the
setting.
Note:
Using the
16:9 (Wide)
setting with a standard
4:3 TV, or either of the 4:3 settings with a
widescreen TV, will result in a distorted
picture.
