4:3: Choose this option if you want to see movies in their original aspect ratio (height-to-width ration). This option shows the entire wide screen film frame on a 4 x 3 screen by proportionately reducing the height of the wide screen image. Then its width fits the screen and fills in the top and bottom spaces with black bars.

4:3 Pan Scan: Choose this option if you want the movie to fill the entire screen of your TV/DVD. This shows only the most important parts of the image and excludes the less important parts (the left and right edges).

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

16:9 Wide Screen: Select this mode when connecting to a wide-screen TV. A wide screen picture is displayed full size.

5.Press ENTER to select the option.

6.Press SETUP•MENU or RETURN to exit menu.
