4:3 :
Select when a standard 4:3 TV is connected.
16:9 :
Select when a 16:9 wide TV is connected.
Notes
• The displayable picture size is preset on the DVD video disc.
Therefore, the playback picture of some DVD video discs may
not conform to the picture size you select.
• When you play DVD video discs recorded in the 4:3 picture
size only, the playback picture always appears in the 4:3
picture size regardless of the TV shape setting.
• If you select “16:9” and you own a 4:3 TV set, the DVD
playback picture will be horizontally distorted during
playback. Images will appear to be horizontally compressed.
Always be sure that your TV shape conforms to the actual TV
in use.
