Setting the TV Screen Size
The width-to-height ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, while the
width-to-height ratio of wide screen and high-definition TVs is
16:9. This width-to-height ratio is called the aspect ratio.
When viewing software recorded in different aspect ratios, the
image's height to width ratio can be switched to match the TV
or monitor being used.
Make changes to the TV screen size in the [TV Screen]
setting in the Setup screen Video menu. Please note that
changes to the [TV Screen] setting cannot be made when a
disc is playing. Stop playback of the disc before attempting
to make any changes.

Notes
• If [Standard (4:3)] is selected in the Setup Navigator screen,
[4:3 (Letter Box)] is selected on this screen. If you prefer the
pan&scan format, change the settings on this screen.
• Whether the aspect can be switched or not depends on the disc.
Please refer to the information written on the disc jacket, etc.
• Some discs may not include the screen format selected in the
[TV Screen] setting. When this occurs, the standard TV screen
format available on the disc is automatically selected.
Differences in screen sizes and DVD formats
The number of screen size formats currently available can be
somewhat confusing. If set incorrectly, the video presentation
may not appear as it should. The following diagrams and
descriptions are intended to help you set your TV screen size
in a way that will allow you to fully enjoy the digital video of
DVD.
The settings in the [TV Screen] setting are perhaps most
applicable when the DVD you are watching is programmed
in the wide screen format. If you have a standard TV, select
either [4:3 (Letter Box)] or [4:3 (Pan & Scan)] based on your
personal preference. If you have a wide screen TV, select
[16:9 (Wide)].
