TV Shape
DVD
This is where you can specify the shape of your TV
screen. This is important for determining whether you
would like to see the whole picture, or a slightly bigger
version.
4:3 Letterbox:
Select this setting if you own a standard
4:3 TV set and want to see the whole
picture. In that case, masking bars are
inserted above and below the picture.
4:3 Normal:
Select this setting for a standard 4:3 TV set
if you want the picture to fill the entire
screen. In that case, the left and right
borders may fall outside the screen’s
scope.
16:9 Widescreen:
Select this setting for a 16:9 wide-screen TV.
Notes:
• The picture size is preset on the DVD video. Therefore, the
playback picture may not conform to the picture size you
select.
• When you play DVD videos that only contain 4:3 picture size
information, any other TV Shape setting you may select is
ignored.
• If you select “16:9 Widescreen” while your TV set is equipped
with a 4:3 screen, the picture will be horizontally distorted
(compressed) during playback. Always set the TV Shape
function according to the TV set your are using.
