Format (screen format)

Depending on the properties of the DVD (1) being played, choose a picture format to match that of your player’s built-in screen or that of an external TV set (2) connected via the Audio Video sockets. Wide 16 x 9 screen, standard 4 x 3 screen (LB for letterbox or P&S for Pan and Scan). If you use your player’s built-in screen, we advise you to choose the 16 x 9 format.

4 x 3 P&S (2) – Choose this setting if you want the picture to fill your TV screen. This might mean certain parts of the picture (left and right edges) are hidden.

Most discs recorded with a wide-format picture cannot be rescaled this way. As a result, black bands appear at the top and bottom of the screen.

4 x 3 LB – Choose this setting if you want to see films in their original picture format (width/height ratio). You will then see the whole of the filmed image, but it might not fill the whole height of the screen. The picture might be surrounded by black bands at the top and bottom of the screen.

16 x 9 wide – Choose this setting if your DVD player is connected to a wide-screen 16 x 9 TV. If you select this setting for use with a standard TV set, the picture could be deformed due to vertical flattening.

If you watch a film on a wide-screen 16 x 9 TV and the disc is recorded in 4 x 3 format, the left and right edges of the screen will contain black bands.

1.On certain DVDs, the picture format cannot be 2. Horizontal black bands at the top and bottom of
