• Most DVDs only play in the
format in which they were
recorded. For example, if the
DVD case says the DVD is
recorded in Letterbox or
Widescreen format, you may
play the DVD only with the
black bars showing at the top
and bottom of the picture.
Even if you set the DVD
Player’s TV DISPLAY to NOR-
MAL/PS, the picture will still
show in the widened format,
with bars at the top and bot-
tom of the screen.
• The format you select must be
available on the Disc. If it is
not, the settings for TV DIS-
PLAY will not affect the picture
during playback.
• Some widescreen TVs may
show only part of the DVD
Player’s menu. This is not an
error of the DVD Player set-
tings. Adjust the screen mode
on your TV. See your TV
owner’s manual for details.
