This is where you can specify the shape of your TV screen.

 

 

 

This is important for determining whether you would like to

 

 

see the whole picture, or a slightly bigger version.

 

 

4:3 Letterbox:

 

 

Select this setting if you own a standard 4:3 TV

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

set and want to see the whole picture. In that

 

 

 

 

case, masking bars are inserted above and below

 

 

 

 

the picture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4:3 Normal:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Select this setting for a standard 4:3 TV set if you

 

 

Basic

want the picture to fill the entire screen. In that

 

 

 

 

 

case, the left and right borders may fall outside the

 

 

Playback

screen’s scope.

 

 

 

 

 

16:9 Widescreen:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Select this setting for a 16:9 wide-screen TV.

 

 

Notes:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• The picture size is preset on the DVD video disc. Therefore, the

 

 

playback picture may not conform to the picture size you select.

 

 

• When you play DVD video discs that only contain 4:3 picture size

 

Advanced

information, any other TV Shape setting you may select is ignored.

 

 

 

• If you select “16:9 Widescreen” while your TV set is equipped with a

 

 

4:3 screen, the picture will be horizontally distorted (compressed)

 

 

during playback. Always set the TV Shape function according to the

 

 

TV set your are using.
