If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen setting (page 39) of this player should be set to 4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan & Scan), depending on which you prefer.

Set to 4:3 (Letter Box), widescreen discs are shown with black bars top and bottom.

Set to 4:3 (Pan & Scan), widescreen discs are shown with the left and right sides cropped. Although the picture looks larger, you don’t actually see the whole picture.

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) or 16: 9 (Compressed) setting with a standard 4:3 TV, or either of the 4:3 settings with a widescreen TV, will result in a distorted picture.
