ENG Adjusting the TV Aspect Ratio (Screen Size) The horizontal to vertical screen size ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, while that of widescreen and high definition TVs is 16:9. This ratio is called the aspect ratio. When playing DVDs recorded in different screen sizes, you should adjust the aspect ratio to fit your TV or monitor. • For a standard TV, select either "4:3LB" or "4:3PS" option according to personal preference. Select "16:9" if you have a widescreen TV. WIDE : Select this to view a 16:9 picture in the full-screen mode on your widescreen TV. • You can enjoy the widescreen aspect. 4:3LB (4:3 Letterbox) : Select this to play a 16:9 picture in the letter box mode on a conventional TV. • Black bars will appear at the top and bottom of the screen. 4:3PS (4:3 Pan&Scan) : Select this to play a 16:9 picture in the pan & scan mode on a conventional TV. • You can see the central portion of the screen only (with the sides of the 16:9 picture cut off). Note • If a DVD is in the 4:3 ratio, you cannot view it in widescreen. • Since DVD discs are recorded in various image formats, they will look different depending on the software, the type of TV, and the TV aspect ratio setting.
