| with black bars at the top and |
| bottom of the screen. |
| 4 x 3 Pan Scan: | Choose this setting if you want |
| the movie to fill the entire screen |
| of your TV. You won’t see part of |

| black bars would appear at the |
| top and bottom of the screen. |
| 16 x 9 Widescreen: | Choose this setting if your DVD |
| Player is connected to a |
| widescreen TV. |
