screen televisions.

(16:9) TV whose aspect ratio is fixed
to 16:9 (the unit automatically
adjusts the screen width of the
output signal correctly when
playing back a "4:3" source).

source with the "16:9 NORMAL"
mode, the picture character slightly
changes due to the process for
converting the picture width.

wide picture format, the picture is
shown in the 4:3 LB mode even if
you select the 4:3 PS mode.
