Problem	Possible Solution
There are black	All 4:3 HDTVs display HD programs in letterbox format

below the picture	shape of the display screen.
	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 set-top is tuned to a 4:3
	program.
	Set the TV TYPE to 4:3 Pan-Scan. This enables the set-
	top 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
	screen 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).

	This may occur on a 16:9 TV if the active video for an SD
	broadcast is in letterbox format. To confirm, wait for a
	commercial or look for a graphic, such as a network logo.
	If the commercial fills the screen from top to bottom, or
	the graphic appears below the active video, the program
	is being letterboxed by the broadcaster. You can
	minimize this by activating the zoom feature on the TV.
	A broadcaster may include black bars on either side of a
	wide screen broadcast. This is called a “hybrid” aspect
	ratio and results in a black border surrounding the video
	on a 4:3 TV. Because this is part of the broadcast, the
	set-top cannot correct the video. You may be able to
	minimize the border using the zoom feature on the TV.
