TV Screen Size

• Default setting:

4:3 (Letter Box)

If you have a widescreen TV, select the

16:9

setting—

widescreen DVD software is then shown using the full
screen area. When playing software recorded in
conventional (4:3) format, the settings on your TV will
determine how the material is presented—see the
manual that came with your TV for details on what
options are available.

If you have a conventional TV, choose either

4:3 (Letter

Box)

4:3 (Pan & Scan)

. In Letter Box mode,

widescreen software is shown with black bars at the top
and bottom of the screen. Pan & Scan chops the sides off
widescreen material to make it fit the 4:3 screen (so even
though the picture looks larger on the screen, you’re
actually seeing less of the movie). See

Screen sizes and

disc formats

on page 102 for more information.

Still Picture

• Default setting:

Auto

The recorder uses one of two processes when displaying
a still frame from a DVD disc. The default

Auto

setting

automatically chooses the best setting each time.

•

Field

– produces a stable, generally shake-free

image.

•

Frame

– produces a sharper image, but more prone

to shake than field stills.
