TV Display This sets the screen size (4:3 or 16:9
aspect ratio) according to the connected TV.
NORMAL/PS (Pan Scan) Choose this setting if you
want the movie to fill the entire screen of your 4:3
TV. You won’t see part of the picture (particularly
the right and left edge). Some discs produced in a
wide screen format can not be cropped in this
fashion, which means the black bars would appear
at the top and the bottom of the screen.
NORMAL/LB (Letter Box) Choose this setting if
you would prefer to see movies in their original
aspect ratio of your 4:3 TV. You will see the entire
frame of the movie, but it will occupy a smaller
portion of the screen. This setting may result in
the movie appearing with black bars at the top
and bottom of the screen.
Wide Choose this setting if your DVD Receiver is
connected to a wide screen 16:9 aspect ratio TV.
