If you receive an image with a 4:3 aspect ratio, the image will be displayed at that ratio on your HDTV unless you specify otherwise. The Picture Format menu allows you to adjust the image through the following options:

Normal Choose this when receiving a 4:3 image and you want the on-screen appearance of the video to be a centered picture with side panels (blank areas) on the right and left sides.

Full Choose this when you want the television to adjust the 4:3 image horizontally so it fills your 16:9 screen. No side panels will be added,

and the image is vertically unaltered. This setting is especially useful

for viewing 16:9 formatted DVDs.
