picture

screen TVs to stretch the video to fill the screen (see

 

your TV manual for information about stretching 4:3

If the DCT* is connected to a wide screen TV, verify that

 

the TV TYPE is set to 16:9 in the User Settings menu.

 

Many HD programs are broadcast in pillar-box format

 

with black bars to the left and right of the picture. These

 

programs are broadcast in 16:9 HD formats even though

 

the video is not 16:9.

bars above and

(black bars above and below the picture) because of the

Turn on the 4:3 OVERRIDE feature in the User Settings

 

menu. This enables most standard screen TVs to display

 

a full screen picture when the DCT* is tuned to a 4:3

 

program.

 

Set the TV TYPE to 4:3 Pan-Scan. This enables the

 

DCT* to remove the black bars above and below the

 

picture when possible.

 

Some SD programs are broadcast in the letterbox format

 

with black bars above and below the picture. Some wide

 

screens TVs offer a zoom feature that may be able to

 

remove the black bars (see your TV manual for

 

information about zooming 4:3 video).
