change the “16:9” setting in the
middle of the disc.
• The “16:9” setting is only for
movie recording and does not

still pictures are always recorded
in 4:3 aspect ratio.)

your TV’s S1 or S2 input

switched to wide mode
automatically.)

TV that supports only 4:3 aspect
ratio display and play a DVD
recorded in “16:9” mode, the
