Using the DVD's Menu System
The Display Menu
The Display menu contains the settings that affect how disc content looks on your TV and how
the front panel of the DVD player looks.
TV Image
The TV Image menu adjusts the way a movie appears on your TV. Standard TVs are 4 x 3 format.
Depending on the type of television you have, you may want to adjust the screen setting (also
called the aspect ratio).
1. From the DVD Player's main menu (player ON, no disc playing), highlight Display and press
OK (the Display options appear).
2. Highlight TV Image. Press OK. The TV Image options appear.

•
4 x 3 Letterbox – Choose this setting if you want to see movies in
their original aspect ratio (height-to-width ratio). You'll see the entire
frame of the movie, but it will take up a smaller portion of the
screen vertically. The movie might appear with black bars at the top
and bottom of the screen.
•
4 x 3 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.
•
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 to vertical compression.
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.
