Cut off when a wide-screen video image is played.

4:3 Pan Scan

•When wide-screen video material is played, this mode clips the right and left sides of the image so that it can be viewed on a conventional TV screen.

•Some wide-screen DVDs that do not permit Pan Scan mode playback are automatically played in letterbox mode (black bands top and bottom).

4:3 Letter Box

• When wide-screen video material is played in this mode on a conventional TV screen , black bands appear at the top and bottom of the screen.

16:9 Wide-screen

• This is the correct mode for playing wide-screen videos on a wide- screen TV.

• You must also set the screen mode on your wide-screen TV to "FULL".

The actual appearance of the image depends on the screen mode setting of your wide-screen TV.

Notes :

•The displayable picture size is preset on the DVD disc. Therefore the playback picture of some DVD discs may not conform to the picture size you select.

•When you play DVD discs recorded in the 4:3 picture size only, the playback picture always appears in the 4:3 picture size regardless of the TV shape setting.

•If you select 16:9 wide-screen mode and you own a 4:3 TV set, the DVD playback picture will be horizontally distorted during playback. Images will appear to be horizontally compressed. Always be sure that your TV shape conforms to the actual TV in use.
