Using the DVD’s Menu System
The Display Menu
The Display menu contains the settings that affect how disc content looks on your TV and how the front panel
of the DVD player looks.
Image
The Image option adjusts the way a movie appears on your TV. Standard TVs are 4 x 3 format. Depending on
the type of television you have, you may want to adjust the screen setting (also called the aspect ratio).
4x3 Letterbox
4x3 Standard
16x9 Widescreen
4 x 3 Pan & Scan – Choose this setting if you want the movie to fill the entire
screen of your TV. This might mean 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.
1. With the player on (no disc playing), press MENU (the main menu appears).
2. Use the up/down arrow buttons to highlight the Display option. Press the
right arrow button (the display choices appear on the right).
3. Use the up/down arrows to highlight the Image option. Press the right arrow
button (the Image options appear on the right).
4. Use the up/down arrow buttons to highlight your selection. Press OK to select.
5. Press the left arrow button to return to the Display menu or press MENU to
exit the menu system.

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.
16 x 9 Wide – 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.
