Screen sizes and disc formats

DVD-Video discs come in different screen
aspects, ranging from TV programs, which are
generally 4:3, to CinemaScope widescreen
1
movies , with an aspect ratio of up to about 7:3.
Televisions also come in different aspect ratios;
'standard' 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.
Set to 4:3 (Letter Box), widescreen
discs are shown with black bars top
and bottom.
Set to 4:3 (Pan&Scan), widescreen
discs are shown with the left and right
sides cropped. Although the picture
looks larger, you don't actually see
the whole picture.

Frequency step setting

If you find that you can't tune into stations
successfully, the frequency step may not be
suitable for your country/region.

2
press ENTER.
Use / to select AM 9K or AM 10K then

Note
1 Many widescreen discs override the system's settings so that the disc is shown in letterbox format regardless of the setting.
2 • Using the 16:9 (Wide) setting with a standard 4:3 TV, or one of the 4:3 settings with a widescreen TV, will result in distortion.
• When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format, you can use the TV controls to select how the picture is presented. Your TV
may offer various zoom and stretch options; see the instructions that came with your TV for details.
• Some movie aspect ratios are wider than 16:9, so even with a widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a 'letterbox' style.
