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

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.

setting in the Setup screen Video menu. Please note

when a disc is playing. Stop playback of the disc before
attempting
to make any changes.
