The width-to-height ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, while the

width-to-height ratio of wide screen and high-definition TVs is

16:9. This width-to-height ratio is called the aspect ratio.

When viewing software recorded in different aspect ratios, the

image’s height to width ratio can be switched to match the TV

or monitor being used.

Make changes to the TV screen size in the [TV Screen] setting

in the Setup screen Video 1 menu. Please note that changes

to the [TV Screen] setting cannot be made when a disc is

playing. Stop playback of the disc before attempting to make

any changes.

instructions supplied with your

wide screen TV or monitor for

more information.

Notes

• If [Standard (4:3)] is selected in the Setup Navigator screen, [4:3

(Letter Box)] is selected on this screen. If you prefer the

pan&scan format, change the settings on this screen.

• Whether the aspect can be switched or not depends on the disc.

Please refer to the information written on the disc jacket, etc.

• Some discs may not include the screen format selected in the [TV

Screen] setting. When this occurs, the standard TV screen format

available on the disc is automatically selected.

■ Differences in screen sizes and DVD

formats

The number of screen size formats currently available can be

somewhat confusing. If set incorrectly, the video presentation

may not appear as it should. The following diagrams and

descriptions are intended to help you set your TV screen size

in a way that will allow you to fully enjoy the digital video of

DVD.

The settings in the [TV Screen] setting are perhaps most

applicable when the DVD you are watching is programmed in

the wide screen format. If you have a standard TV, select

either [4:3 (Letter Box)] or [4:3 (Pan & Scan)] based on your

personal preference. If you have a wide screen TV, select

[16:9 (Wide)].
