Stretch*

Default format for Ant-A and Ant-B, and Inputs 1-3. The Stretched format stretches narrow 4:3 images across the screen, however, there is less stretch in the center than the sides.

Stretch Plus*

Similar to stretch mode, however to minimize distortions on the side, the picture is expanded to crop off portions of the top and bottom. Useful when no important information is shown at the top and/or bottom of the screen.

Narrow*

Displays narrow 4:3 images in their original shape and adds stationary gray side bars to fill the screen. The gray bars are considered a fixed image. .

Standard

Default format for DTV and Component Input displays a full-screen format. The Standard format displays Anamorphic DVDs that have the 1.78:1 or 1.85:1 aspect ratios. However, Anamorphic DVDs that have the 2.35:1 aspect ratio still display black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, while narrow (4:3) images are stretched evenly from side to side.

HD Expand (1080i)**

Expand (480i/480p)*

Enlarges the picture, cropping some of the image at the top and bottom. The Expand format reduces the letterbox top and bottom bars of non-Anamorphic DVDs or to correct narrow 4:3 images that have been stretched in the Standard format.

Zoom*

Enlarges the picture, cropping some of the image at each side, top and bottom. The Zoom format removes or reduce the black top and bottom bars on Anamorphic DVDs with 2.35:1 aspect ratio.
