be set to display
other ratios.
The picture appears in widescreen with black bars at the top
and bottom of the screen.
16:9* 4:3 Pan Scan N/A The picture appears cropped at the sides, allowing the image
to fill the screen. The “Pan and Scan” version on the DVD
selectively crops the edges of the original picture, and hence
less of the original picture is actually visible.
16:9* 16:9 Wide N/A The picture appears “squashed.” See which formats are
available on your DVD movie menu, and set to either
4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan Scan).
