4 x 3 Letterbox - Choose this setting if you want to see movies in
their original aspect ratio (height to-width ratio). You'll see the entire
frame of the movie, but it will take up a smaller portion of the screen
vertically. The movie might appear with black bars at the top and
bottom of the screen.

4 x 3 Standard- Choose this setting if you want the movie to fill
the entire screen of }'our TV. This might n+tean that parts of the
picture (the left and right edges) won't be seen.
Most discs produced in a widescreen format can't be cropped in this
fashion. This means the black bars will appear at the top and the
bottom of the screen.

16x9Widescreen
I6 ac 9 Widescreen - Choose this setting if your DVD Player is
connected to a widescreen TV, If you choose this setting and you
don't have a widescreen TV, the images on the screen may appear
distorted due to vertical compression.
If you play a disc recorded in 4 x 3 format on a widescreen TV, the
left and right side of the screen will appear black.
Some movies are actually slightly wider than 16 x 9. In this case,
black bars will appear at the top and bottom of the screen even in
Widescreen mode.
Note: Some discs are already fi)rmatted with black bars so the
entire image can be seem on a standard TV screen. If you have a
widescreen TV and you are pldying this type of disc, you will need
to set your TV to expand the image. See your TV User.+Manual.
