Standard (4:3)
Select when you're using a television that supports only standard
4:3 screen aspect ratio.
Widescreen (16:9)
Select when you're using a widescreen television or a television
that supports a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio.
NOTES:
• If set to 4:3, set the television screen size to ”standard” or “normal”, to display video
without altering the vertical and horizontal ratios. This term may be different
depending on the manufacturer of your television.
• In addition to using Wii's widescreen setting, you must also adjust your television's
options to take advantage of its own widescreen mode(s).
• Some television sets will not change to widescreen display even when receiving
widescreen input from the Wii console.
