TV Aspect Ratio
TV Aspect Ratio refers to the shape of your television, expressed as the length
divided by the width of the screen. Standard television screens are 4:3, while
widescreen televisions are 16:9. It is important to set the TV Aspect Ratio so
DVD movies display at the appropriate size for your television.
