When playing software recorded in conventional (4:3) format, the settings on your TV will determine how the material is presented-see the manual that came with your TV for details on what options are available. If you have a conventional TV, choose either 4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan & Scan). In Letter Box mode, widescreen software is shown with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. Pan & Scan chops the sides off widescreen material to make it fit the 4:3 screen (so even though the picture looks larger on the screen, you're actually seeing less of the movie). See Screen sizes and disc formats on page 107 for more information. Still Picture • Default setting: Auto Important • When you change this setting the Copy List is erased.
