To set the default picture format

Some DVD video discs allow you to choose between the 4:3 (normal television) or 16:9 (widescreen) picture formats.

If you have a standard 4:3 television you also have the choice of displaying widescreen pictures cropped to fill your television screen (pan-scan), or with black bars above and below the picture (letterbox).

●Highlight TV SHAPE in the DISPLAY menu, and press ENTER.

The TV SHAPE menu is displayed:

●Press < or > to select the format of your TV, and press ENTER (remote).

If you selected 4:3 NORMAL an additional DISPLAY MODE menu appears:

●Press < or > to select the display mode you want to use for widescreen videos, and press ENTER.

Note that the pan-scan feature is not available on some discs, in which case letterbox format will be used.
