Notes
•The displayable picture size is preset on each DVD video. Therefore, the playback picture of some DVD videos may not conform to the picture size you select.
•When you play a DVD video 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 Widescreen” 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. Make sure the TV shape conforms to the actual TV in use.
