Letterbox:
A TV aspect ratio setting (4:3). Displays the video in full-width, with
black bars at the top and bottom of the TV screen. This format is used often when
you see a movie in a theater. If the Disc does not include a letterbox format ,
selecting Letterbox may have no effect. (For example, some DVD discs are two-
sided, with one side playing in Letterbox and the other side playing in a normal for-
mat.)
Optical Jack:
Converts electrical signals into optical signals before sending the
audio to the amplifier. Optical audio is not prone to external electrical influences
and has less noise, which reduces adverse effects on external equipment. Be sure to
keep the protective cap on the jack when the jack is not in use. This keeps dust out
of the jack.

picture, with one or both sides of the picture trimmed. There are no black bars at

the supplied yellow video cable. You can use S-Video only if your TV has an S-
Video In jack.
