Some wide-screen discs that do not permit Pan & Scan
mode playback are automatically played in Letterbox
mode.

Depending on the DVD, 4:3 Letterbox may be selected
automatically instead of 4:3 Pan & Scan and vice versa.

If WIDE is selected and a normal TV is connected,
16:9 content will appear distorted during playback
(objects look thin).
