Making Full Screen Blu Ray Into Wide Screen on PS3

The PlayStation 3 supports various video connection setups, including those for standard-definition and high-definition television sets. In addition to gaming, the console also contains a built-in Blu-ray/DVD player. To take advantage of the Blu-ray discs in your collection, you will need to determine and adjust the appropriate connection settings with your HDTV.

If you have an incorrect display resolution selected, the console may conform the display to a square that cuts off part of the picture during Blu-ray playback.
