Selecting

the aspect ratio

DVD.

Set the aspect ratio to match the television connected to this player. This setting is unnecessary when connected to a wide- screen television.

Most DVD movies support a wide-screen television and the screen size ratio (usually called the aspect ratio) is set to 16:9 (horizontal:vertical). Consequently, if a DVD is viewed on a television of the conventional size, the 4:3 aspect ratio has the effect of increasing the height of the image. Set the as- pect ratio to 4:3 when viewing on a television of the conven- tional size to eliminate this distortion. This setting cannot be changed during playback.
