Standard Definition 480i format (720 x 480 pixels).

designated by the HDMI/YPbPr Output setting. Note that the Stretch option is

 

only available when the TV Type setting is 16:9.

 

• Off — The DCH will create a widescreen version of a standard-definition program by

 

adding black bars to the left and the right of the picture and present the video in the

 

format designated by the HDMI/YPbPr Output setting.

 

Some televisions may only support certain video formats. Please consult your television’s

 

user manual for more information on format compatibility.
