Picture Menu

TV Shape

With this setting you can select a picture format to match
the aspect ratio of your TV.
Choose this
4:3 Letter box:
option if you have a standard TV
(4:3 aspect ratio). When you
watch widescreen DVD-Video
movies, the entire picture will be
visible and there will be black
bars at the top and bottom of the screen, as shown.
Choose this
4:3 Pan & Scan:
option if you have a standard TV
(4:3 aspect ratio) and want to use
the full height of the screen when
watching widescreen
DVD-Video movies. In order to
use the full height of the screen, the picture will be
cropped on both sides, as shown. This option won't
work with discs that don't support pan and scan.
Choose this option if you have a
16:9 Widescreen:
widescreen TV (16:9 aspect ratio). Depends on TV,
the picture appears stretched when watching programs
in 4:3 format.
16:9 Compressed (default):
Choose this option if you
have a widescreen TV (16:9
aspect ratio) and the picture
appears stretched when
watching programs in 4:3
format. This option will cor-
rect the issue.
Notes:
• This setting does not apply to DVD menus.
• When the HDMI OUT signal is at a resolution of
720p, 1080i, or 1080p, programs in 4:3 format will
appear stretched, so we recommend that you select the
16:9 Compressed option.
• With some DVD-Video discs this setting may have no
effect. See the disc's sleeve notes to see which picture
format is used.

View Mode

With this setting you can adjust the aspect of the picture
so that it fits your TV screen. Due to your TV's aspect
ratio setting and the DVD's aspect ratio, black bars may
appear above and below the picture or at the sides and the
aspect of the picture may be unsuitable. In this case, use
this setting to adjust the aspect of the picture as you like.
The picture is displayed in its
Normal (default):
original aspect ratio.
The picture is stretched horizontally to
View Mode1:
make it fit the height of the screen.
The picture is stretched vertically to
View Mode2:
