You may select if you have a normal aspect
ratio (4:3) TV, although the NORMAL/LB
(letter box) is a more common choice. In PS
mode, widescreen material will fill the screen, but at the expense of chopping
off extreme left and right edges of the original film picture. For this feature to
work, the disc must be specially coded. Such discs are uncommon.

You may select this if you have a normal aspect ratio (4:3) TV. Widescreen

You may select this if you have a widescreen (16:9) TV. Back bars may still
appear above and below the picture even if using a widescreen TV. This is
