NOTES:
• Even if "4:3 PS" is selected, the screen size may become "4:3 LB" with some DVDs. This depends on how they 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.

The system automatically adjusts the screen width of the output
signal correctly when playing back a picture whose aspect
ratio is 4:3.
