Screen sizes
and disc
formats
DVD-Video discs
come in several
different screen
aspects, ranging from
TV programs, which
are generally 4:3, to
CinemaScope
widescreen movies,
with an aspect ratio of
up to about 7:3.
Televisions also come
in different aspect
ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3
and widescreen 16:9.
Widescreen TV
users
If you have a
widescreen TV, the
TV
Screen setting
(page 63) of this
system should be set
to
16:9 (Wide) .
When you watch
discs recorded in 4:3
format, you can use
the TV controls to
select how the picture
is presented. Your TV
may offer various
zoom and stretch
options; see the
instructions that
came with your TV for
details.
Please note that
some movie aspect
ratios are wider than
16:9, so even though
you have a
widescreen TV, these
discs will still play in a
‘letterbox’ style with
black bars at the top
and bottom of the
screen.
Standard TV
users
If you have a standard
TV, the
TV Screen
setting (page 63) of
this system should be
set to
4:3 (Letter
Box) or 4:3
(Pan&Scan) ,
depending on which
you prefer.
Set to 4:3 (Letter
Box) , widescreen
discs are shown with
black bars top and
bottom.
Set to 4:3
(Pan&Scan) ,
widescreen discs are
shown with the left
and right sides
cropped. Although
the picture looks
larger, you don’t
actually see the whole
picture.
Please note that
many widescreen
discs override the
system’s settings so
that the disc is shown
in letterbox format
regardless of the
setting.
• Using the 16:9
(Wide) setting
with a standard
4:3 TV, or either of
the
4:3 settings
with a widescreen
TV, will result in a
distorted picture.
Selecting
languages

Some of the language
options (see
