Adjusting the TV Aspect Ratio (Screen Size)
The horizontal to vertical screen size ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, while that of wide screen and high
definition TVs is 16:9. This ratio is called the aspect ratio. When playing DVDs recorded in different
screen size, you should adjust the aspect ratio to fit your TV or monitor.
For a standard TV, select either "4:3LB" or "4:3PS" option according to
personal preference. Select "16:9" if you have a wide screen TV.

• If a DVD is in the 4:3 ratio, you cannot view it in wide screen.
Note
• Since DVD discs are recorded in various image formats, they will look different depending on
the software, the type of TV, and the TV aspect ratio setting.
