TEAC MCDV600 User Manual

The shape of the TV or monitor may not match the shape of the 
movie frame. To avoid distortion on older TVs, you may need to 
change the way in which the image is displayed. TVs use a 4:3 aspect 
ratio; high-definition TVs use 16:9 aspect ratio (as do movies).

Note:
You may need to read your TV’s manual in conjunction with this 
section in order to achieve the best results. Some discs do not allow 
the aspect ratio to be changed and you will therefore have to change 
the aspect ratio on the TV.

4:3 PAN SCAN
This mode is used with 4:3 TVs. 4:3 images are displayed normally. 
When showing 16:9 programmes, the full height of the screen is 
displayed, and the left and right part of the image are cut off.
