Philips DVD726 - Manual (Page 35)

• DVDs only play in the format
in which they were recorded.
For example, if the DVD case
says the DVD is recorded in
Letterbox or Widescreen
format, you may play the DVD
only with the black bars
showing at the top and bottom
of the widened picture. Even if
you set TV DISPLAY to 4:3
PAN SCAN, the picture will
show in the widened format.
• Some widescreen TVs may
show only part of the DVD
Player’s menu. Adjust the
screen mode on your TV. See
your TV owner’s manual for
details.
