NOTE: You can find aspect ratios on the back of most DVD covers. Also, Anamorphic DVDs are usually marked “Anamorphic” or “Enhanced for 16:9 TVs.”

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.

Zoom

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

Note: This format is not available in the 1080i signal.

Expand (480i/480p)

Enlarges the picture, cropping some of the image at the top and bottom. The Expand format is useful to reduce 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.

Note: Expand is not available in the 1080i format.

Expand HD (1080i)

Enlarges the picture, cropping some of the image on both sides. This Expand format is useful

to remove or reduce black side bars on HD broadcasts of 4:3 images with black bars (See page 64).

Note: Expand HD is only available in the 1080i format.

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.

Note: Stretch is not available in the 1080i format.

Stretch Plus (not available on WT-42413) 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. Caution should be observed when using the Narrow format due to the stationary gray side bars.

Note: This format is not available in the 1080i signal.
