MONITOR TYPE
You can select the monitor type to match your TV when you play
DVDs recorded in the picture’s height/width ratio of 16:9.
• 16:9 NORMAL (Wide television conversion)
Select this when the aspect ratio of your TV is fixed to 16:9
(wide TV).
The system automatically adjusts the screen width of the
output signal correctly when playing back a picture whose
aspect ratio is 4:3.
• 16:9 AUTO (Wide television conversion)
Select this when the aspect ratio of your TV is 16:9 (wide
TV).
• 4:3 LB (Letter Box conversion)
Select this when the aspect ratio of your TV is 4:3
(conventional TV). While viewing a wide screen picture, the
black bars appear on the top and the bottom of the screen.
• 4:3 PS (Pan Scan conversion)
Select this when the aspect ratio of your TV is 4:3
(conventional TV). While viewing a wide screen picture, the
black bars do not appear, however, the left and right edges of
the pictures will not be shown on the screen.
NOTE
• Even if “4:3 PS” is selected, the screen size may become “4:3 LB”
with some DVDs. This depends on how DVDs are recorded.
• When you select “16:9 NORMAL” for a picture whose aspect ratio is
4:3, the picture slightly changes due to the process for converting the
picture width.
