Panoramic Stretch

Fills the screen by stretching only the sides of the picture while the middle portion stays undistorted. Use with 4:3 input if you don’t like seeing empty sides on a 16:9 screen.

Anamorphic Stretch

Fills the screen by stretching the picture sideways. Use this setting for standard-def DVDs that are anamorphic or “enhanced for widescreen TVs” – the image on these DVDs is squeezed sideways so that no vertical resolution is wasted on a letterbox, and made normal upon playback assuming that the DVD player is properly set (16:9 output). Also use this setting with anamorphic projection and Custom input cropping.

Pillar Box

With this setting, original aspect ratio is preserved for standard-def input, leaving the sides of the screen empty. The shade of the empty areas can be adjusted in menu 1. Not applicable when input is 720p or higher.

No Scaling

To quickly check what the source component is putting out in unscaled form, select No Scaling then make the appropriate selection above. Horizontal Size and Vertical Size adjustments close in on the outside of the image, and if they’re changed from the factory defaults (100), Horizontal Position and Vertical Position become adjustable.

If the source and the display have the same resolution then No Scaling also allows trimming the edges of an input without enlarging it to compensate for the empty area. For example, if you’re using a 1080p-native display and a 1080i source needs trimming, use Trim Edges: On in the Crop Input menu (minimum 2 pixels) and select No Scaling. The result is 1:1 pixel mapping for the remaining image.

Since a disc’s menu and the main title do not always have the same aspect ratio, select scaling according to the main title.
