TV Display Format Definitions

Standard: This is the full-screen format used by HDTV signals. Use this format to display anamorphic DVDs with a 1.78:1 or 1.85:1 aspect ratio. Anamorphic DVDs with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio are displayed correctly but with top and bottom black bars. Narrow (4:3) images are stretched evenly from side to side. Available for all signals.

Expand: Enlarges the picture to fill the screen by cropping the top and bottom; useful for reducing the letter box top and bottom bars of non-anamorphic DVD images.

Zoom: Enlarges the picture to fill the screen by cropping the sides, top, and bottom to eliminate black bars. 480i/480p and SD 4:3 signals: Eliminates top and bottom bars on anamor- phic DVDs with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio. 720p, 1080i, SD 16:9, and HD signals: Eliminates bars added to 4:3 images.

Stretch: Stretches a narrow 4:3 image across the screen to display the entire image with less distortion than the Standard format.

option, then press ENTER. Use to move the picture.

Narrow: Displays narrow 4:3 images in their original shape. Adds black side bars to fill the screen.

Wide Expand: Enlarges the picture, cropping the image on both sides. Removes or reduces black side bars added to narrow images converted to 16:9 signals for digital broadcast.

Note: All high-definition channels send widescreen (16:9) signals, but not all programming was created for this format. The broadcaster may stretch the image or add side bars to fill the widescreen area.
