TV Screen Size

• Set in Setup Navigator (Default: 16:9 (Wide))
If you have a widescreen TV, select the 16:9 (Wide)
setting—widescreen DVD software is then shown using the
full screen area. When playing software recorded in
conventional (4:3) format, the settings on your TV will
determine how the material is presented—see the manual
that came with your TV for details on what options are
available.
If you have a conventional TV, choose either 4:3 (Letter
Box) or 4:3 (Pan & Scan). In Letter Box mode,
widescreen software is shown with black bars at the top and
bottom of the screen. Pan & Scan chops the sides off
widescreen material to make it fit the 4:3 screen (so even
though the picture looks larger on the screen, you’re actually
seeing less of the movie). See Aspect ratio in the Glossary on
page 58 for more information.

Still Picture (Expert)
• Default setting: Auto
This system uses one of two processes when displaying a still
frame from a DVD disc. The default Auto setting lets the
system decide which to use.
Field – produces a stable, generally shake-free image.
Frame – produces a sharper image, but more prone to shake
than field stills.
