For some discs, the picture may not be set to the selected screen size. (For details, refer to the explanation on the disc’s jacket.)

4:3 LETTER BOX:

Select this when connected to a conventional 4:3 size (normal TV aspect ratio) monitor. There may be black stripes visible at the top and bottom of the screen (when playing a 16:9 size movie). The width of these stripes will depend upon the original aspect ratio of the theatrical release of the movie.
