Note:
For some discs it is not possible to switch
the aspect ratio. For details, refer to the
disc’s jacket.
The horizontal-to-vertical screen size ratio of standard TVs is 4:3, while that of
wide screen and high definition TVs is 16:9. This horizontal-to-vertical ratio is
called the aspect ratio. On discs with which the aspect ratio cannot be
changed, switch the screen size as necessary using the monitor button on
the PDV-LC10 and the corresponding button on the TV.
