The Screen Setup menu

TV Type

TV TYPE controls the aspect ratio (height to width) of the picture on the screen. See the below for a description of different screen formats.

4:3 PS – Choose this setting if you want the movie to fill the entire screen. This might mean that parts of the picture (the left and right edges) won’t be seen.

Most discs produced in a widescreen format can’t be cropped in this fashion. This means the black bars will appear at the top and the bottom of the screen.

4:3 LB – 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.

16:9 – Choose this setting if your TV/DVD player is connected to a widescreen TV. If you choose this setting and you don’t have a widescreen TV, the images on the screen may 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.
