[16:9 NORMAL] (Wide television screen): select when you connect the unit to a wide-screen (16:9) TV whose aspect ratio is fixed to 16:9 (the unit automatically adjusts the screen width of the output signal correctly when playing back a 4:3 source).

When playing back a DVD VIDEO disc recorded in wide picture format, the picture is zoomed to fill the screen vertically, and the left and right sides of the image are chopped off.
