Cinema Conversion - 'Automatic'
Use that unless you watch a lot of TV shows, music videos, etc., or you have a DVD that is wrongly flagged (which can be quite a few) and you see scrolling text 'break up'. Sometimes the Automatic setting gets confused with mixed content. Setting it to Video forces it to Video (instead of Film) mode which does clean up some of the interlacing artifacts.
There is no one setting for all use, if you want to tweak the most out of a particular SD DVD. However, if you're unsure, leave Cinema Conversion at Automatic.
DVD Wide Display - 'Letterbox'
This should preserve the proper aspect ratio of your movies on a widescreen TV.
DVD Upscaler - 'Normal'
This is the general consensus. If you have a 1080i/p screen, you can try out 'Double Scale ' as well. It won't fill the entire screen (as it is doing an exact doubling of 480p to 960p), but it keeps all of the original pixels of the image and simply adds new ones. Traditional scaling ends up recomputing the original samples since it needs to create an image that isn't a multiple of 480p ... so technically double scaling is more 'accurate'.
In general, you may need to experiment a bit depending on your TV and its available settings.
BTW - Don't forget the press triangle while actually watching a movie ... not only can you change the scaling, etc. on the fly ... you can also access stuff like noise reduction! A lot of people don't realize that's there.
