TV Screen Size	4:3 (Letter Box)
Still Picture	Auto

•TV Screen Size – If you have a widescreen TV, select the 16:9 setting—widescreen DVD software is then shown using the full screen area. When playing software recorded in conventional (4:3) format, the settings on your TV will determine how the material is presented—see the manual that came with your TV for details on what options are available.

If you have a conventional TV, choose either 4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan & Scan). In Letter Box mode, widescreen software is shown with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. Pan & Scan chops the sides off widescreen material to make it fit the 4:3 screen (so even though the picture looks larger on the screen, you’re actually seeing less of the movie). See Screen sizes and disc formats on page 58 for more information.

•Still Picture – The recorder uses one of two processes when displaying a still frame from a DVD disc. The default Auto setting automatically chooses the best setting each time.

The Frame setting produces a sharper image, but more prone to shake than field stills.
