• TV Screen Size – 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) or 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 56 for
more information.
• Still Picture – 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.
The Frame setting produces a sharper image, but
more prone to shake than field stills.
