Set the screen aspect ratio for the television

Select the value matching the type of televi- sion connected. Select [16:9(Wide)] when a wide-screen television is connected. Most DVD movies are recorded to support wide television screens with an aspect of 16 hori- zontal to 9 vertical. As a result, when DVDs are viewed on conventional televisions, the image is projected at the television’s aspect ratio of 4:3, causing it to appear horizontally compressed. In order to eliminate this kind of distortion, set the aspect ratio either for [4:3 (Letter Box)] or [4:3(Pan&Scan)] when us- ing a conventional television.

¶This setting cannot be changed during play- back.
