Screen Size Selection; Changing The Screen Size - Pioneer PDP-503MXE Operating Instructions Manual

Screen Size Selection

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 of the picture or the picture's range projected on
the screen can be changed between 4 screen sizes
described in the table on this page.
