TV Aspect
You can use this menu item to tell the BD player whether
you have a very rectangular
shaped,
16:9-aspect
ratio television
set, or a more traditional,
almost square 4:3 aspect-ratio
television
set.
To inform the BD player of your TV's aspect
ratio, press the up/down
arrow keys (_'_) on the remote until
the TV Aspect
choice in the center of the setup screen is highlighted.
Then, press the right arrow key (:_)
on the remote until the rightmost
portion of the setup screen is highlighted.
The up/down
arrow keys (_)
on the remote can then be used to select your TV's aspect ratio.
If your
TV has a very rectangular
(16:9) aspect
ratio,
you will need to choose one of the 16:9 aspect
ratios (full or pillarboxed).
If your TV has an "old fashioned"
(relatively
square)
(4:3) aspect ratio,
you will need to choose one
of the 4:3 aspect ratios (letterboxed
or pan/scan).
Your preference
should be based on whether
the disk you will be watching
contains a movie in
widescreen
format, or has been cropped
to fit a "standard"
4:3 screen, as well as your individual
preference
for viewing, as shown in the table below:
