4x3 Letterbox
4x3 Standard ~ Choose this setting if you want the movie to fill
the entire screen of your TV. This might mean 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,
4x3 Standard

16 X 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 ttr vertical compre.ssion.
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 formatted with black bars so the
entire image can he seem on a standard TV screen. If you have a
widescreen TV and you are playing this type of disc, you will need
to set your TV to expand the image. See your TV User 's Manual.
