4 x 3 Letterbox - Choose this setting if you want to see movies in their original aspect ratio (height to-width ratio). You'll see the entire frame of the movie, but it will take up a smaller portion of the screen

vertically. The movie might appear with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.

4x3 Letterbox

4 x 3 Standard- Choose this setting if you want the movie to fill the entire screen of }'our TV. This might n+tean that parts of the picture (the left and right edges) won't be seen.

Most discs produced in a widescreen format can't be cropped in this

fashion. This means the black bars will appear at the top and the bottom of the screen.

4x3 Standard

I6 ac 9 Widescreen - Choose this setting if your DVD Player is

connected to a widescreen TV, If you choose this setting and you

don't have a widescreen TV, the images on the screen may appear

distorted due to vertical compression.

If you play a disc recorded in 4 x 3 format on a widescreen TV, the left and right side of the screen will appear black.

	Some	movies		are actually	slightly	wider than	16	x 9.	In this	case,
	black	bars	will	appear at	the top	and bottom	of	the	screen	even in
16x9Widescreen	Widescreen		mode.

Note: Some discs are already fi)rmatted with black bars so the entire image can be seem on a standard TV screen. If you have a widescreen TV and you are pldying this type of disc, you will need to set your TV to expand the image. See your TV User.+Manual.
