• 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
widened picture. Even if
you set TV DISPLAY to
4:3 PAN SCAN, the pic-
ture will show in the
widened format.
• Some widescreen TVs
may show only part of
the DVD Player’s menu.
Adjust the screen mode
on your TV. See your TV
manual for details.
