TV Display Setting: selecting the aspect ratio 
The aspect ratio of a television is the relationship 
between its width and height, and it defines the shape of 
the picture. Television sets traditionally have an aspect 
ratio of 4:3. Since most DVD discs are recorded in “wide 
aspect ratio” formats, the picture must be adjusted to fit 
on your screen. 
x NORMAL/PS: The Pan and Scan presentation crops both
sides of the wide screen format to fill the 
standard 4:3 television screen. 
x NORMAL/LB: The Letterbox presentation places black
bars at the top and bottom portions of 
the screen to provide the full wide screen 
format of a movie on a standard 4:3 
television screen. 
x WIDEΚ When connecting to a wide screen 16:9
television, select this option. The unit 
automatically sets and outputs a 
recorded signal in correct aspect ratio. 
Notes:

x Some DVD discs do not permit Pan and Scan mode playback 
and will automatically playback in Letterbox mode, and vice
