4 x 3 PS (Pan & Scan) – 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.
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.
16 x 9 Wide – 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.
