Changing Screen Size - Pioneer PDP-4304 Operating Instructions Manual

Changing Screen Size

This unit incorporates screen modes of various height and
width ratios. For optimal viewing, we recommend that
you select the screen mode that best matches the video
source that you are viewing. Although these modes are
designed for full display of a picture on a wide screen, it is
our hope that you make use of them with a full
understanding of the manufacturer's intentions.

The size and range of the picture on the screen can be
