Additional information
Please note that many widescreen discs override the player’s settings so that the disc is shown in letter box format regardless of the setting.
Note
•Using the 16:9 (Wide) setting with a standard 4:3 TV, or either of the 4:3 settings with a widescreen TV, will result in a distorted picture.
Setting the TV system
