∙Due to variances in broadcast practices, it is possible some image distortions can occur.

∙Some Letterboxed (or “Widescreen”) versions of DVD movies are formatted for standard 4:3 Televisions. Your HDTV has the ability to expand this content so the entire screen is filled at the expense of image accuracy. To use this function, select Wide from the HDTV Settings App.
