TV Display Setting: selecting the aspect ratio The aspect ratio of a television is the relationship between its width and height, and it defines the shape of the picture. Television sets traditionally have an aspect ratio of 4:3. Since most DVD discs are recorded in “wide aspect ratio” formats, the picture must be adjusted to fit on your screen.

ξNORMAL/PS: The Pan and Scan presentation crops both sides of the wide screen format to fill the standard 4:3 television screen.

ξNORMAL/LB: The Letterbox presentation places black bars at the top and bottom portions of the screen to provide the full wide screen format of a movie on a standard 4:3

television screen.

ξ WIDE When connecting to a wide screen 16:9 television, select this option. The unit automatically sets and outputs a recorded signal in correct aspect ratio.

Notes:

ξThe default setting is NORMAL/PS.

ξSome DVD discs do not permit Pan and Scan mode playback and will automatically playback in Letterbox mode, and vice versa.

ξBe sure to set the screen mode on your wide-screen TV to “FULL”.

ξIf the WIDE option is selected with a standard 4:3 television, the playback picture will appear distorted (objects will look thin).
