4 x 3 P&S – 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.
4 x 3 LB – 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, black bars will
appear on the left and right side of the screen.
