Screen Ratio should be?
DVDTalkers,
please help me out.....
on my Pioneer DVD player, the screen aspect ratio are as follow..
P&S, WS, Letterbox.
It came as WS as the factory setting...which one should I select to view my DVDs?

Thanks!

If you have a 4:3 telly, set it to "Letterbox."
If you have a 16:9 telly, set it to "WS."

A 4:3 set is a normally proportioned television set. A 16:9 set is a widescreen television, which have become more popular in recent years. It sounds like you have a 4:3 set, but I'm not sure.
To add on to Groucho's answer... if you have a 4:3 Sony WEGA television, then you can take advantage of the "anamorphic squeeze" option to display anamorphic widescreen DVDs in higher resolution.
1. Set your DVD player to output a "widescreen" signal.
2. Go to the Setup Menu on your television, and turn the "16 x 9 Enhanced" option On. Certain models will perform the "squeeze" automatically.
Do a search for "anamorphic squeeze" in the Hardware Forum and you'll be able to find more info on the topic.

You will still have black bars with 1.85:1 movies. The setting isn't intended to stretch the picture just so it fills the screen.
