[16:9 NORMAL] (Wide television screen): select when you
connect the player to a wide-screen (16:9) TV whose aspect
ratio is fixed to 16:9 (the player automatically adjusts the screen
width of the output signal correctly when playing back a 4:3

If you play a 4:3 DVD VIDEO source using the [16:9 NORMAL]
mode, the picture character changes slightly due to the process
for converting the picture width.

connect the player to a wide-screen (16:9) TV.
[4:3 LB] (Letter Box conversion): select when you connect the

bottom.

player to a normal (4:3) TV.
When playing back a DVD VIDEO disc recorded in wide picture
format, the picture is zoomed to fill the screen vertically, and the

mode even if you select the 4:3 PS mode depending on the
disc.

to the disc, regardless of the PAL/NTSC selector setting.
