TV Aspect
Choose from 16:9 Wide, 16:9 Pillarbox, 4:3 Pan and Scan, or 4:3 Letterbox to set the picture size.
If you have a wide-screen TV, select one of the 16:9 aspect ratios. If you have a standard TV, select
one of the 4:3 aspect ratios.
Note: Setting your player for one of the 16:9 settings when connected to a 4:3 TV could result in the
picture not filling the screen correctly.
Film Mode (1080p24)
Many movies recorded on Blu-ray discs are recorded at 24 frames per second (fps). If your player is
connected to the TV via HDMI, and the TV has the capability to display 24 fps, setting Film Mode to
On tells your player to output content recorded at 24 fps (without converting it to 30 or 60
frames/second).
