a low-quality signal at the composite
video output. Do not use this setting.
TV Aspect Ratio
Sets the aspect ratio of the player’s output image.
The options are:
• 4:3 Letterbox – Choose this when the display is
standard 4:3. A widescreen image is displayed
in “letterbox” format with black borders on top
and bottom.
• 4:3 Pan & Scan – Choose this when the display
is standard 4:3. A widescreen image will be
stretched vertically, filling the screen but
distorting the image.
• 16:9 Wide – Choose this when the display is
widescreen 16:9. 16:9 materials will be
displayed in its native aspect ratio, and 4:3
materials will be stretched horizontally, filling
the screen but distorting the image.
• 16:9 Wide/Auto (default) – Choose this when
the display is widescreen 16:9. 16:9 materials
will be displayed in its native aspect ratio, and
4:3 materials will be displayed with black
borders on both sides in order to maintain the
original 4:3 aspect ratio.
Only two choices will preserve the original image
without distortion – 4:3 Letterbox for older
“standard” displays and 16:9 Wide/Auto for
newer “widescreen” displays. These are the only
recommended selections.
