If “16:9” is selected while connecting a 4:3 TV, playback pictures may be distorted horizontally or shrink vertically. Make this setting according to your TV shape.
Actual picture shape may depend on signal types of broadcasts or input sources, or settings on the connected TV. Refer to the owner’s manual of your TV.

There are two types of source content in pictures recorded in DVD video discs: fi lm content (pictures recorded from fi lms at 24 frames per second) and video content (video signals recorded at 30 frames per second). Make this selection according to the type of content being viewed.
Film
The player converts fi lm content pictures in the progressive output format appropriately. Suitable for playback of fi lm content pictures.
Video
