WIDESCREEN
TV sets are available with screens of the standard (4:3) format and widescreen (16:9) format. When you first installed your receiver you specified the format of the connected TV (this can now be altered if necessary; see Section 3 - ADVANCED OPERATION - Configuring Your Receiver).
Digital terrestrial television broadcasts are also made in both standard and widescreen formats. In particular, films and dramas tend to be broadcast in widescreen format to closer emulate the cinema experience, but even some news bulletins are widescreen. To help get the most from both TV set and programme when a widescreen film is watched on a standard TV, or a standard broadcast is viewed on a widescreen set, the receiver includes the [WIDE] key.
So long as the receiver has been correctly set up for the TV set connected, a widescreen programme will always be displayed correctly on a widescreen set, and a standard format programme will correctly fill the screen of a standard format TV.
With a standard format TV displaying a widescreen programme, the [WIDE] key switches between displaying the picture with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, and filling the whole height of the screen but cropping the sides off according to instructions broadcast with the programme (called 'pan and scan').
The effect of the [WIDE] key on the picture display is cancelled by pressing [WIDE] again, changing channel or turning the receiver to standby.

Subtitles can be displayed when watching these programmes.
